Everyone grows at their own rate. There is no age where you musts tsop growing...some people develop early, some later. At 16, I wouldn't worry. You still have years for your body to change so I wouldn't worry about it. Just focus on being healthy and let your body do what it is supposed to do. My father was 5'7 when he was 18-19 and then he grew to 6'2. You may grow, yo may not..its in your genes
Besides, who really cares how tall you are...if anyone does than they are morons so they dont really matter
hope that helps :)

Most physicians will tell you that males can continue growing up to and sometimes beyond the age of 25. Don't try anything to grow taller that will compromise your health. Just try to be patient, even though it's hard. If you are truly concerned, talk to your family doctor the next time you visit and listen to what he has to say. If nothing else it will put you at ease.

It's very possible you will grow taller; everyone grows at different times in their life, and males usually grow later than females. It could be you are a late bloomer, or your could just be naturally short. Being tall is nothing special, trust me. Anyways 5'7 IS tall compared to some people. Just eat right and stay healthy with exercise and such.

Did your brother have a late growth spurt? If so, you probably will, too. If your voice has not changed much, if you don't have much of a beard, you may have more growth left.
Growth hormone is extremely expensive, best given at the advice of and supervision of an endocrinologist.
