Obviously that’s up to the doctor, but it’s unlikely. You’re within the normal height range for someone your age (on the tall end, if you’re a girl) so it’s unlikely that the doctor will give you a medication with the kinds of potential complications it has if there’s no medical necessity.

That is totally up to your doctor, But I dont think they will give you anything because you are height is good for your age. They say that people who are 16 will not grow no more but that is not true because you can still go through a growth stage. Maybe this is something that you need to talk to your parents about, what do u want to grow taller because u are being bullyed in school if you are then u need to go see your principle at school and talk to them about it.
You are still growing. How tall are your parents? How tall are your siblings?
HGH is not without it’s risks. Be careful. Discuss this with your doctor. Do NOT go buying the stuff from Mexico.
You would “like” to be taller. Too bad, you have achieved what your genes gave you, learn to make the best of it. No reputable doctor will give you human growth hormone.
