You're a "gal"? Only really geekish guys call girls "gals". Sorry, but you're gonna be 5'3" until you start shrinking from osteoporosis.

Your optimum height was determined at the moment of your conception and influenced through your growing years by your nutrition and health status. If you are a girl, you have quit growing, and will not get any taller. The only thing you can do to temporarily gain height is to hang upside down to decompress your spine a little. That usually only gives you a 1/2 to 1 inch gain in height, and it is very temporary. Sorry, but you will just have to adapt to being your current height.

You will only grow as tall as you will grow. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do about it! Trust me. Look at this way. I'm 37 and only 5'. At least you're already taller than me! You should concentrate on using spell check and proper English and leave Mother Nature alone.

we all grow at different rates, so you may still have some growth left before you reach your max height
good on you for playing sport and eating well
give yourself a couple of more years, as you may just shoot up before you know it
heaps of girls at my school were shorter at the beginning of grade 11, but by the end of grade 12 they were much taller (i had to reach up to snog them)
they were 16 to 18 then, so you can see that nature develops people at varying rates
keep enjoying yourself and don't worry about height so much, yeah

eat well (not too much, but the right stuff) sleep well atleast 7 hrs and keep playing badminton or whatever u want to. u still have some time to grow. btw if u stop worrying that might actually help ur cause.

It is not biologically possible to do anything to make yourself grow taller. Your height is genetically determined; there is absolutely nothing you can do or eat to make yourself grow taller than what your genes are programmed for.
As a 16 year old girl, you are probably done growing, although you make grow a centimeter or so more by 18.

hey! you can increase your heigght by stetching! but as your age is 16 so your body will not grow more than 2-3 inches.

You could try basketball or netball. These 2 sports require you to jump and would perhaps help you stretch your muscles..
That's why basketballers are so tall..hehe...
Good luck at that!!
