You might not grow anymore, I stopped growing when I was 12. If you are still growing, there is no way to speed it up. There's nothing you can do about it... except get surgery to have steel added to lengthen your leg bones, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Since you're only thirteen it is a very high possibility that you will continue to grow. On the other hand, if there is someone in your family that is very tall, you can grow to be taller than your father. However, if your dad is one of the tallest people in your family, than it will probably turn out you will be around 5'7-5'8. But remember, genes are not just passed down from your parents, they are passed from most of the people in your family, it just depends on the genes you get. So if you grandfather was 6'7 and you recieved his gene, you would be tall.. you understand.

hon, you're only 13! it's ok, cuz i'm the same height as you. you'll grow more. ask this question if in 4 or 5 years you're still the same height. but it's good because shorter people live longer than super tall people.

I went to high school with a guy who was no taller than 5'4" when he graduated. You can imagine just how shocked everyone was at our 5th year reunion when he had shot up to about 6'4". And I'm not kidding! So hang in there.

please don't tell me this is the best thing you could find to complain about. so many people in the world have so many more serious issues, I can't believe you are wasting brainpower on this trivial question. you are probably peaking in the height you are going to achieve. accept it, you are a runt. nothintg wrong with being a runt, you have about as much choice as to how tall you will be as a black person has to what color he will be.
