You may not grow a whole lot more, but many men continue to grow through their early 20s, so you should at least make it to average size :-) You're only an inch away after all.

Most boys don't stop growing until between 18 and 20.
However there are alot of other factors. Heredity being one.
How tall is your dad ?
If you have any brothers...how tall are they.
There really isn't any way of knowing exactly how much more you will grow. But you still have a couple of years before you will really know. Some kids are late bloomers and grow several inches in the last stages of puberty. So just relax. you still have lots of time to get taller. And if you don't...5'7 is OK too!

There's really no magic way to tell how tall you'll be, Is your father and mother tall?, grandparents-either side?, how about brothers or sisters? If everyone in your family is tall then you'll get taller, if only a few are tall then its just luck of the draw. My mother was tall father med-tall my sisters 2-tall,1+myself short. My children all 3 are tall my ex. was short also. By the way my son is 6'2" at 18! hope that makes you feel better.

yeah. most guys continue growing up until their early 20s, but i know some guys who have continued to grow until their 30s, and also i have known people who were short and within a year grew like 8 inches

A lot of it has to do with genetics. I am 17, and 6'2''. I grew a lot since last year. But yeah, I would expect a couple of more inches.
Good Luck

i grew about 5 inches after turning 16. but i have a feeling i'm kind of a freak. it's all in genetics and out of our control...

At age 16 you should be normalizing. You could probably reach 5'9 by the time you're 19.
