It is quite possible to grow taller untill you are eighteen. I have always heard that people stop growing when they are 18. Are any of your family members tall? You can usually get some idea of how tall you will be, from the height of your parents and siblings.

I didn't stop growing until I was about 21-22 years old.

If you have grown some recently, there is a possiblility of you getting taller. Bones don't reach full maturity (or stop growing until you reach your 30s). I was done growing when I was 12; fortunately, I was blessed with the genes to make me tall. Wear high heels and stand up as straight as possible to make yourself look as tall as possible.

I think you are done. I was 5'3 since 6 grade but when I turned 21 I grew 2 inches. You might grow but you will offically know when you are 18 if you are going to grow more or not.

hi dear!!
You are in 16 old and i was be adult i think so there is no chance to be more taller because girls have time to be taller till 16-17 old but boys are more lucky in this way ..they can be taller till18-20 old so you can drink more milk and yogurt every day and do sport but do sport do not made you taller it just made your bone strange..
Good luck!!

At sixteen you could still have a growth spurt.
Guys and girls are different, of course, but Joe Mauer, the catcher for the Minnesota Twins was 6'3" when he finished high school and now, at 23, he is 6'6".
