You're future height not only depends on your parent's height , but THEIR parents too.
Drink at least 3 glasses of any kind of milk every day.
Eat a lot of protein. (Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs.)
Eat your VEGGIES!! (frozen, steamed, or raw.)
You will keep growing till you're 21. Then be thankful for whatever you have been given. Stay healthy! :)

you will probably be taller than both of your parents.
You are at the beginning of a growth spurt that could give you many more inches. Generally, this accellerated growth period is between 11 and 17 for boys.
Additionally, you are eating growth hormones in your foods. These days, its pretty much inevitable unless you are eating a macrobiotic and organic diet. Those hormones will be passed on to you, and you will grow taller than the generation before you.
Next thing you know, you could be 6 feet tall with size 12 shoes!

Ray,
Here is a link for a chart that predicts how tall you will be. Fill out the info and go from there. I would have done it for you, but it asks how tall you were at age 12, and how much you weigh. Good luck.

No one can truly predict how tall you are going to be. You are already taller than your mom and since your 13 your still growing, so odds are you may become a lot taller, because there is still plenty of time for you to grow.

Males usually stop growing at 18 and often earlier but sometimes growth continues beyond 18, so at the age of 13 your chances of growing another 6 inches look pretty good.

Nah, I don't think so. I have friends whose parents are short, but they are tall. I don't think anyone will be able to predict your height. You're only 13, you will grow taller! So don't worry too much!

you'll probably get to about 5'9 at most. I'm 13 and 5'0, but i know i'm gonna be tall cuz my moms like 6'5 and my dads like 7'0 (i think). Any ways both my parents are really really tall. You might even get to bout 6'5 if ur lucky cuz you stop growing when your like 18.

I think it depends more on father and as father has average height then you will be 5'10 1/2 depending upon the type of diet you take and exercise you do like cycling..good Luck

There are many many cases where children become taller than the parents and other relatives. For proof, there are people much taller or much shorter than Adam and Eve. Prediction is not possible.

Add up the following heights: mom, dad, grandparents. now divide that total by the number of people. you will be within 1" of your height.
