It is funny that you are concerned about your growing at age of 16 only. Trust me you will grow and grow, and i bet its not going to stop at 5'8. Also look at your pops or moms and maybe their parents. If you have someone from pops or which ever side you went to taller then 5'8 and most likely you are going to be taller then 5'5. Also keep execising and eat healthy and you should be JUST FINE!!!

Depends when you started puberty. You should still be growing until about 19. After 20, and you still want to grow, you may considered taking Human Growth Hormone (HgH). It's very, very expensive and should be talked over with a doctor. HgH can add up to 8 more inches depending on dosage. Good luck!

The long bones in your body, ie the femurs in your legs, have growth plates in them. These don't close til least 19, so you can theoretically, and probably will grow to at least that age.
I was 15-16 and about your height and one of the shortest in my class. I'm now 6 feet.
I wouldn't stress over it

The body ceases to grow by the age of 21-22. If you treat it right, that is.

What you want and what you will receive are two different issues. You don't have a choice in the matter of your height. It will reach a predisposed level based on the genetic inheritance provided by your parents. Forget about worrying and accept whatever it will be. It's your only option.
