Answers: I just turned 16 last November...

Is anyone in your family tall? Your dad, mom, uncles, grandparents? If so, you have a good chance of getting as tall as they are or even an inch taller. If everyone is 5'10 or shorter, then you may not get much taller than them. The fact that you are only 16 give you a good chance of a few more growing spurts.

My sister and I both grew 2" taller after our 21st birthdays, so don't give up hope.

Also, if you don't get much taller than you are now, don't fret. There are many women that prefer men who aren't towering over them. And don't worry about what other guys say about your height or your body. Just be the best person you can be, and you are better than them already. Reach for the stars through books, dream and work towards making it to the top and your success will make you the tallest man to the people who love you.

Yes, especially if your growth plates haven't fused. Between 16 and 18 I gained 3 inches.

Men usually stop growing at the age of 21, so I would say its indeed a posibile to grow an extra 2 and a half inches and more

You have the potential of still growing until you reach 21 or 22 years, so yes it is still very possible that you could reach your goal. A good way to gage this is to look at your parents, if they are taller then you have a good chance.

Yes easily, I grew 5 inches in on year, 5,9 to 6,2 and then 2 more inches before I turned 18
