There is no accurate way to predict...;

Part of it depends on if your male or female. If your a 13 year old girl, you may not get much taller. If your a 13 year old boy, it's way too soon to tell.

Don't listen to the shoe size theory. I am a 5'7" female and wear a size 9 shoe. My girlfriend is 5'3" and wears the same size as me. Obviously, she just has large feet, or maybe I have small feet, in relation to our height.

I'm currently 25 and between 14 & 20 I grew a single inch. A guy friend of mine however; went from 4'11" to 6'2" between 14 & 22.

Either way, you can't predict your final height....

a child can tell how tall they might be when they are fully grown by looking at the hieght of the mother and father. a child often is near to the height of both of them but not always. the hieght of the childs reletives blood relatives is helpfull as well. ask your parents how tall your aunts uncles and grandparents were.
you might find that your parents will tell you that you look like .... oh say granpa john on your mothers side. or some thing like that.
the more you look like that person the chances are the more you will have in common with them such as there hieght. .
if your mothers family was all short and her grandparents were all short . and you look much like your mother or grandmother then you may end up being similar in height to them . however if your moms family was all short and your dads family was all talll even if you look much like your moms side of the familiy then you may end up being taller then your mom.
some people keep a record of how tall they were at each birthday . sometimes parents keep this record of themselfs when the parents have kept this record they can share it with there children and the child will be able to see how similar there rate of growth is to that of each of there parents. the one you are most similar to is most likely the one that you will end up being about as tall as.
other factors contribute to growth. what we eat is somewhat important but if you are for the most part a heathly child in your eattting habbits then your growth rate would be average . only a straving child would not grow as tall as they would have if they had better food.
drugs can alter the growth of a child as well . smoking is said to stunt the growth of a child . this is true but will not make a huge differance in the total hieght of a child. smoking is somethig to avoid at any rate.
in some cases a doctor may give a child something called hormones to increase the growth of the child and increase the final hieght of a child . this is not often done and is most often
a cosmetic procedure.
other conditions and injury and illness can play a huge factor in the height of a person.
a person physical hieght is only one tiny way of seeing how tall they are. morals reputation acomplishments and attitude are what society really sees in a great person . we call a person with many of these qualiies a person of stature.
i hope this was of help to you .

No, there is no way.

Chances are, though, that you will be shorter. I'll take a wild stab at between 5'"5 and 5'"8.

There's no real way to "predict" how tall you will eventually be. You can run a search for "height predictor" and go to one of these web sites listed. The result is a potential height and not a foretelling of the future. Don't take it too seriously.

No and there is no way to make yourself taller or get to your height any faster. You have to be patient. You are only 13. Your height is in your genes.

well, i think it would depend on if your a boy or a girl, i cant tell from your name or picture,,,,, if a boy, you most likely havent hit your teen growing spurt yet, so will grow alot,,, height wise,,,,,, if a girl, you probably can expect a few inches,,,,,,,, you also might look at your birth height in inces, that is often a good predictor of adult height,,,, if you measured over 20 inches at birth, you most likely will be tallish,,,,
