your only 13.. don't worry about it you have plenty of time to grow, but if you do not.. so what!
Other than a very painfull and expensive operation to extend you leg bones... there is nothing you can do.
This is going to sound lame.. but just be happy with who and what you are. A real man is not judged by his size but by his actions, the way he lives his life, how he conducts himself in public and the respect he shows others.

A man does not usually stop growing until they get near 20 years old. You have 6 more years to grow, so relax you could turn out to be near 6 foot by the time it is all over.

You're still gonna grow alot more!! My son was 5'1" when he was 13/14 yrs old. He is now 6'4". He really didn't really take off until he was close to 16yrs old and didn't stop growing until about a year ago, he just turned 23. So, no worries, you should be fine. If you are really that concerned you have your parents take you to the doc to have your growth plate checked, it is very accurate. I had my sons checked its in your ankle.

You will reach your full adult height at around 18-19 years old. Look at your Dad and some pictures of family members in the past. Tall is a genetic trait and is passed on in families.

Females keep growing until they're about 17, males keep growing until they're about 21. Don't worry, 13 is just the beginning of horrible growth spurts.

No need to worry at all. That's exactly the same height I was at 13 now I'm 16 and 5'10". You'll definitely grow.

i dont think you should worry too much. your only 13, and you'll probably keep growing until your around 18. just drink lots of milk, jump / play basketball and do lots of exercise - even swimming helps ! :)

chill, u little brat, there's seniors at my school almost as short as i am. i'm 15(a sophmore) and i'm not even an inch taller than you, if that.... u'll grow. at 13 most boys are kinda small, then start to grow round mid teens. rightfully ur not even a teen right now, so don't worry. exercise and eat right and ull get taller. ^_^

Genetics will play a role in your height including past relatives.
