Don't worry about it, just give it time........ at 13 you've got like another 6 - 8yrs of growing to do yet (when you're around 18-21), which is more than enough to hit 6ft(ish).

Pretty much the only thing you can do to increase your height is make sure you are well-nourished, eating a diet with plenty of calcium, iron, and protein. Malnourished people cannot reach their maximum height.
Apart from that it's all genetics. Your folks are reasonably tall, so you have a good chance of being tall, but it's not possible to say from here.

you might turn out tall anyway as it is genetic, there's nothing much you can do to increase the height you are destined to be
