Hi, I'm 13, I am asian, and I am 5'8 1/2. I have had a growth spurt already in the 7th grade making me from 5'3 to 5'7 but i haven't grow a lot since. I am afraid that I will stop growing and not be able to be taller than my dad. Will I keep growing and get another growth spurt? help me and tell me how to grow

You'll keep growing till you're 20-21. Chances are you won't be that much taller than your family member. 5' 8.5" isn't short either so relax

You are only 13 yet, you have had a sudden spurt of growth which is usual, but im sure u will continue growing but this time at a much slower rate, you might not realise that u are growing but u will grow slowly inch by inch, dont worry about it.
Also growth is determined genetically, so there is no other method of inducing growth, so u will stop growing wherever the code in your genes says. So dont worry about it.

You will continue to grow until you are at about 19-20.

Usually you stop growing around age 18 to 21, while girls last a bit shorter. You'll continue growing taller if it is hereditary.

If you're asian, you're probably done growing. Just understand the dishonor of being shorter than your father and cut off a finger or two and live the rest of your life peacefully.

There is nothing you can do. Why does it matter if you are taller than your dad? You probably won't get too much taller, maybe an inch or so.

you´ll keep growing ´till yours 19-20 years, and maybe your height is more influenced by your mother than your father.

My guess is that you'll grow a bit more.
