I ran your data through an Adult Height Predictor, and it said you would be 6 foot by the age of 21.
I don't think you need to worry - you just haven't hit your growth spurt yet; some boys grown 6-7 inches in just a few months!

Oh dear! Don't worry, you're only 13, you're going to hit your growth spurt quite soon, each and everyones body is a little different.If you want to speed up the process, then you have to do a little hardwork for it.
I suggest you drink a lot of water, 6 glasses minimum a day, milk helps too, but don't overdo or you'll have to "live" in your bathroom, try finding a door frame in your house that's high enough for you to practice on.Mark a point on that , that you find difficult to reach.Jump up and try to touch that point [leave the door open! or you'll hill the door!]- do this often, regularly everyday, like 30-40 jumps, alternating which hand you reach with.
Chomp on green with every meal, it wont only help your height, but your skin and other things too! Trust me if you get into the habit now, you'll really be healthy..
Get into a sport that involves a lot of movement, something like basketball maybe? Regular excercise encourages good blood circulation,and that leads to many benefits, not just height.
So remember, give yourself time, you're not going to be 5'0 forever!
you're sister and brother seem to be tall, but you havent told me how to tall, consider asking them how they were at your age, if they were in the same predicament, i wouldnt be worried at all.
and oh.
i like short guys.. :p
GOOD LUCK

dont worry too much. with your parents stats you are a good candidate to be tall. for further assurance find out how tall your grandparents are or were and they match up to what your moms and pops are then rest assured you will be getting as tall as everyone else. but you are still young and should not begin to worry till you are around 17 or 18. by the way are your fingers and toe long/ they are a pointer to height in most cases. just be patient and wait

well u might have to wait a while longer. but trust me u WILL get taller. my uncle was just like u. he was about 5'0 all through middle school but once he got into 9th grade...BAM he had a growth spert. so my guess is u should be as tall as ur 18 yr old bro.
good luck

I'm 14 and still less than 5'0 ft but but I take vitamins to grow taller, My mom is only 5'3 and my dad is only 5'6....in your case, if you will also take vitamins, you just have to eat and sleep a lot don't worry you will not gain weight too much bec. when you take vitamins to grow your metabolism will burn foods faster....also according to Ernie Baron a man can still grow taller until he reaches the age of 32.

hey dont worry u r just 13.u still have 5 to 7 yrs to grow.
u should take very gud and healthy dite which helps u ia lot n increasing ur hieght.
dite plays a very major role.take milk regularly and do some exercise like pushups and skipping.
dont neglect ur diet at all.as ur parents r blessed with gud height u will also get it.
do exercise and take care of ur diet.and try playing basketball it will also help u in increasing height.
dont worry buddy u will definitely get gud height in very few yrs.

one of my best friend's brother is a freshman in high scool and hes only like 5'2 even though his dad is like 6'3.you gotta give it time, growth spurts come at different times for different people.unless you have dwarfism which i highly doubt, you will be pretty tall since tallness is a dominant gene and both of your parents have it unless both of your parents have one short parent and one tall parent, then 1 out of 4 children will be short, so that may be you.sorry to break it to you, but you may stay short for the rest of your life though i severely dought it and the chances are not very high.the only way you could get taller is by getting a surgery done in which they break the bones in your legs and strech them out or something.i heard you could be one inch taller for 1,000 dolars.if you ask me thats a pretty good bargain

maybe youre a late bloomer. Wait about another year or so and you'll probably have your growth spurt.. I new someone like that.. He had his growth spurt at around 15.. so you still have hope. esp since your older siblings are tall too..

relax your only thirteen. you have 8 years to grow taller. since both of your parents are so tall youll probably be tall as well.

I know a lot of boys in the same position as you....
give it time, you'll grow eventually...Perhaps it'll take a bit longer.
