Answer 1

Sweetie, your height is predetermined by genetics. You can stunt it by improper diet, etc but there is nothing you can do to be taller. (Yes, there is surgery where you can have your leg bones separated and plates put in to lengthen your bones but this is only done for those of less than normal height. It is also very painful with a long recovery period). A male will continue to grow until age 21 while a female reaches full height at 18.

That being said, you are ONLY 13 so are no where near finished growing. To get an idea of how tall you might grow to be, go to the link posted here, enter the required info and receive an estimate of how tall you will get to be. Remember, it is only an estimate!
