i am a 5 foot 5 16 year old black male?!

You're about half way thru puberty & won't finish until at least age 21 - maybe later.
Genetics rule - you cannot re-program genetics.
You cannot MAKE yourself grow taller.
More growth could be headed your way before puberty ends - nobody knows for sure.
You'll just have to be patient & wait to see what all develops.
Life is not always the way it's supposed to be. It's just the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

There is no telling when but you could tell your teasing friends that while your body is taking a break from growing bones and all, your major bone is getting bigger than theirs. If they challenge you, tell them to take a hike.

Affirm yourself. You will grow in time, some men take until year 25 to be fully developed. Do not despair. Tell your friends to see you in 5 or ten years and tell them who will have the last laugh.

I am 5'6" white male. I know the teasing is hard to take when you are teenager, but later in life it becomes harassment and you have legal recourse to stop it...

everyones different it just depends on your chemical make-up. You are normally somewhere in the middle of your parents heights, which means you may someday be around 5'9", which is the average adult male height.

Congratulations, Ronald Mac Donald has touched your penis
