Hello
height is a matter of genetics/hereditary. So at this age your height groeth will be stopped . so dont worry 5.1 is not bad height.its OK. Dont try any drugs in the maket which promise for increasing in height. none of them work out.
Take care

hi;
As you are 16 yrs you still have at least 5-6 yrs for height to increase.Right now you are 5'1" & definitely it will increase till you are 21-22 yrs old .No you are not dwarf ;its just a teasing thing don't worry.Keep in mind the height of your parents even you will achieve the same height or may be more.I think you are Indian ;if you are then remember people like SachinTendulkar ;Aamir khan;for that matter Salman khan are also short but they have achieved respect like Legends.so don't worry be happy.
thanks
