You need to see how tall your parents are. this could be a genetic trace. Otherwise you can try swiming and play basketball, also see a doctor you might need growth hormone....but before you do any thing look at your family history...

The height is subject to change, normally, until the individual reaches the age of about 25. If you are only 16 your long bones are still growing. Follow a healthy dietary pattern that includes calcium and vitamins in your diet from natural sources. Get good rest and adequate exercise and avoid smoking and exposure to other harmful chemicals that could sabotage your health and growth. Heredity also plays an important role in height. 5'8" is not "very short" or a reasonable cause of worry for a 16 year old male. If you have further concerns, speak with your medical doctor.

Hey, you still have between 2 and 4 years to grow since you are a guy. 5'8" isn't that short, but you should at least grow another inch or two.

it certainly relies upon on how tall your mothers and fathers are, if your mothers and fathers 6 foot, via 21 ( which i while majority of infants stop transforming into ) you would be around 6 feet. possibly a sprint greater or rather much less. dont hardship approximately being to short, your no longer that short and plus on the cost you're, you probable would be 6 feet ish:D

You still have some time. Get enough calcium and SLEEP! Growth only occurs during sleep, so make sure you get enough of it. You may also want to take stretching classes. I read somewhere that that can help you gain maybe a half inch or so. Good luck!

Hey my husband is 5 foot 8! It's a great height for a man.
But seriously, you are going to grow at least a couple more inches before you stop.

5'8" isn't short ... one of my best friend is 5'4" and 36. Don't feel bad. Most guys stop growing around 21 or 22.

You stop growing somewhere between 18-20. You've got time. but 5'8" isn't all *that* short.

Yeah! You've got a few years. But I think it would be great to be at that height. It's estimated that when I grow up I will be 6 feet. I would kill to be shorter.
