you are quite likely to grow taller, even if your parents are short, you still have plenty of time. Boys have growth spurts later than girls. a lot of boys are still growing at 18-20. you should also find out the height of all your grandparents to see if any were tall. Don't give up hope just yet. and you don't have to hit anyone. i also am very short and get picked on often. i have learned to embrace it though, it makes me who i am. i have seen over time that if you have confidence in yourself, less people pick on you. when you have low self esteem people will bother you more, but if they see that you are proud of what you are, they aren't as likely to mess with you.

Generally males stop growing at the age of 21 and females stop at the age of 16. I grew 4 inches between 17 and 21. There is hope. Don't give up. Good luck.

Well you may grow a bit taller, you have up to 21 to get there. However, for you to deal with your height difference. Embrace it, we all have differences and being short has great advantages. Find those advantages and use them to their fullest. Become a comedian and find all the short jokes you can then make 'em laugh, then they won't want to hit you. Who cares if your short, super tall, overweight or paper thin, just be the best you, you can be!

My growing stopped at around 18. When I was 15, I was 5'6". At 18, I was 6'1"... So you have a ways to go. Don't be worried by the kids at school. If they didn't bug you for being short, they would bug you for something else. It happens to all of us.. just don't let them bother you. And remember, you are only 15. Get in lots of fights now because soon, you will go to grown up jail for fighting. Beat their asses down for talking to you like that!

some do some don't, I haven't grown an inch since 16 but I am 6' but my brother was 5'8" til he was 20 and then had a 2 inch growth spurt, so its all about whenever ur body is done growing.

Hey,
Being 16 you probably already hit your growth spurt. But hey, you never now....... A wise man once said "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

run away from home and head to the mountains and take some chickens with you. people grow taller in the mountains because the gravity has a lesser effect. the chickens will lay you eggs full of protein. god speed G Smalls

I am afraid you will not grow any taller than you already are. There is nothing you can do about that. Fortunately, it's not too late for you to learn proper grammar and spelling.
