How do you tell if you are going to be tall but your parents are short and you are tall as them now?

well at 13 you should see another growth spurt, maybe 2
for a girl growth tends to stop about 15 to 18 in some
for a boy it there are some that don't have their last spurt till about as late as 20.
so all you can do is wait and try to enjoy the height you are now

I don't think there is a way to tell how tall you're going to be. However, girls stop growing around 16 and boys stop after 18 on average, so there's a good chance you'll keep growing and be taller than your parents.

Not much chance of telling.
My parents were both 5' and 5'2" tall and my brother and I both were over 6'
We took after my father's dad, who was tall.
And I knew a family in which two of five kids were "little persons" and the other around six foot.

Ok, now I understand your first question. My daughter is 13 and she is the same height as I am. But of course her dad is taller, so she will be as tall or almost as tall as he is. You on the other hand will be taller then they are. There is a family member that you will be as tall as.

no that doesn't say much because in girls you stop growing height wise by eighteen and you may have a growth spurts then stop. In boys they stop growing height wise by 21 and they to could have growth spurts and then stop.
