You will probably hit the same height as your parents. Your dad if you are a male; your mom if you are female.

I was 4"8" at 16 - that really is short.
I had given up all hope of growing them whamo! 12 months later, 5'4". I finished up 5'6".

The moral is, it will happen in it's own time. Some kids have early growth spurts, others do it later. Don't be depressed! Hell you are what you are, and that's good enough!

If the boys give you are hard time, just get funny. Something like "blame it on the parents. they were sooo up to date on everything they forgot to grow until they were 20! do'h"

dont be, height isnt everything if we were all tall and the same height the world would be a dull place. however id say your height is pretty average, im a guy 16 and a 1/4 and im about 167cm/5'7 i think, slightly shorter than ppl my year.

No worries. My oldest son was your height at your age, he is now 21 and 6'3. Everyone grows differently. If you are worried, ask your Dr. He can give you an idea of how tall you will be when you are done growing.

ay bro i grew 9 inches from 14-18 so i really wouldnt trip unless your still the same height in a couple of years

You're really not short for your age. People's growth happens at different rates and at different ages. I know that I was about your height at you age and then during summer break I grew quickly and ended up being taller than everyone else. You'll get there, just give it time.
