Thanks for writing in. At 16 years there is still some growing your body needs to do. From what I know, Asian people are traditionally small in stature and I wonder if your family are too.

There are many things that influence height such as how tall your family and extended family are, and your genetic makeup. If you are concerned about your height I suggest you have a talk with your doctor so they can check you out physically. Growing taller just happens as we develop and there are no other ways to grow taller faster, sorry. It is important to learn to love yourself for who you are, because it is what's inside that matters, not what we look like. Talking to a trusted friend may be a good place to start. Take care.
