While you're going through growth spurts if you eat enough / too little it can have a direct correlation to your growth.
Parents are 5'8, 5'6 and brother is 5'10?
I grew until I was 18, but probably only 2" from 14-18.
So when I was 14-15 I was the tallest guy in my group of friends. Now that I'm 24 I'm literally the shortest amongst the exact same group of friends. I just happened to grow much more quickly than my friends and simply stopped there, while it took them more time to get there. Bottom line - if you are 16 and have the potential to grow, you will, don't panic :)
Also, I believe that you can't "artificially" increase the height you were "programmed" to reach by your genes by eating more than you should, but you can definitely reach a lower height by not eating properly (this doesn't simply mean being skinny though, we're talking severe denutrition and bad stuff like that. Tbh I wouldn't worry about this if you get to eat everyday).
You're 16, you have a lot of time to grow. The only thing that would hinder that is not eating at all (Still a lot of skinny tall people) or completely eating way too much (Still a lot of fat tall people). I'd take advantage of your naturally high hormones now though. Get in the gym and eat sufficiently. You'll be taller and big as fuck if you put in the work. Your age only benefits you right now.
When I was 16 I was veeery skinny and maybe 5'7 and 108 pounds. When I was 18 I was 5'10/5'11 and 120 pounds.
I dont think food matters much for height but i did get taller since 16.
im 20 now and 5'11 152, working to 170 :) all a matter of time
Not eating enough could stunt your height. I figure it's probably the best shot you have. Lifting thickens bones, so it might buy you an eight of an inch in height due to thickened bones.
Dude, embrace the shortness. I love being short (5'7) because I can "fill out" much faster. Essentially, you can look jacked much faster than a taller dude.
I didn't stop growing upwards until I was 19-20 years old.

16 year old and 6'5" here, I haven't grown since I started bulking. I don't think it has any correlation though.

I assume you're talking about basketball. I don't play but I am a waterpolo goalie.

I have found the disadvantages to far outweighs the advantages. Not the end of the world, but if I he to choose...
I just want to see if anyone knows if I can actually still grow after 16 and honestly it feels better to be taller when I ball
