Short stature is a general term for people whose height is considerably below average compared to the height of their peers. Genetics is a major determinant of height. However, short stature can indicate an underlying medical problem. In these cases, many children can grow to a normal height with proper treatment. Since you are 16, do a lot of exercises and take necessary nutrients.
