It depends how tall your parents and relatives are. If your parents are both really tall, you will probably be between your mother and father's height. You can also get genes from you aunt or grandma or even great grandma. There's no way to stop growth and if there is a way, that would be unhealthy. I think you should just live your average teenage life being tall because you can't do anything about it...sorry to break it to you. I'm incredibly short (5 feet) and everyone is taller than me. Well your taller than everyone else. Yes, people might stare, but don't feel that insecure. Embrace your height and live happily because why waste time wishing you will be shorter when it won't happen. Anyways, back to the point. There could be chances that you will be done growing and some people will stop growing at the age of 21 or something like that. Some people grow throughout their life. We don't stay the same forever. If you do continue to grow incredibly taller their could be a chance you could have giantism but it's not very popular in the UK. Hardly popular. I hope I helped you overcome your insecurity.

Well depending on your age you could already be done growing, but if your not done I'm sorry to say that theres no way for you to magically stop growing, it just cant happen.

To be honest, there is NOTHING wrong with being that tall. You have the ability to be a model while others aren't as fortunate because their not the height to become a model. You should really look into modeling because they LOVE tall girls. But other than that, I'm afraid there isn't a way to become shorter or stop growing. By now, you should be as tall as your going to get considering your 16. Good luck sweetie! ♥

If you are a girl: Girls stop growing usually around the age of thirteen-fourteen.
If you are a boy: Boys usually stop growing around the age of sixteen-seventeen.
So of course you'll stop growing. Nobody grows forever hun. =]
Sorry to say that there is no magical cure to stop you from growing though. It's all up to your body and genetics.
Being tall isn't the end of the world though. It can actually come in handy. I'm on the short side so I often can't reach the upper shelves at stores. I'm always having to ask taller people if they could help me. So thank God for people your height! =]
Honestly, I doubt anyone really thinks you're a freak for being so tall. You're the only one who's judging you. So don't stress, be happy and secure with yourself.
Be proud to be tall ;]
