pull your shoulders back, don't slouch as this makes you look smaller and it makes ur boobs look a size smaller too!
hold your chin up and look forward as you walk. boost your confidence and you will increase your height!
you may still grow though hun! i grew another inch or so after i was 16. and i was told you pretty much stop growing 18 months after you start your periods but i think that was rubbish cos i carried on!
an the heels things and not smoking!

Probably won't grow much more after now, an inch at the most if lucky, girls usually do their growth spurt early.
I assume you eat well and have not suffered with anorexia.
To answer, high heels will help a bit.
Otherwise a larger ego and more presence, lent by clothes, vocation and reputation can make you feel and seem taller.
Height adjustment surgery, having your legs broken and extended is a bad idea, the new bone is never as strong as the old.

I am 43 and 5'0ft. Just remember that lovely things come in small packages. To appear taller, walk with confidence, and stand straight.

You Dont. I am 5 foot and 24. I am happy. When I was at school i hated being short and took it out on my poor feet- wearing high heels to cripple. Now, I am proud to be short, proud to be different and play on it! I love wearing flip flops and wonder why on earth i bothered working against nature.
The question is not how do you increase you height, its why is it important to you in the first place.
If you still hate it move to thailand- there are much smaller there!!! :)

You can not increase your height.
You could wear shoes with a slight heel.
Verticle stripes can also make you look taller.
You are only 16...you may grow a little bit more.
Most guys like to be taller than their g.f's so I wouldnt worry about in the future either!

Go to an endocrinologist "hormone specialist". They can give you growth hormones but you should go before you are 18 as hormones taken after this age lead to an un natural growth level. Some parts of the body get bigger "hands feet head" (see Barry Bonds - baseball) and other parts dont. If you take them before 16 the bones grow naturally in most cases.

you can pay for an operation where they break your legs and stretch them. its a bit drastic though.
as you are only 16, theres a possibility you may grow a bit more, but if 5ft it the height your genetics designed you to be, theres nothing you can do im afraid
