Should I worry about my height? Thank you.?

This is a very odd coincidence... I was just checking through a lot of the questions here (laughing at most of the ones I clicked on admittedly) however I thought I could actually help here.
My parents are the same height as your parents (except my mom is 5'5 and my dad is 5'2). When I was 13 I was 5'7. I am now 16, I'll be 17 in October, and I am still 5'7 (or maybe 5'7 1/2). I'm not sure when I first had pubic hair, or armpit hair, but by 12 I did have some.
Unfortunately that was probably not what you wanted to hear, however there are other factors which with any hope don't apply to you.
My parents are different races, so I am mixed, which probably means I'd be shorter than I would normally.
I have very unhealthy eating habits, I generally eat fast food. If you eat a balanced diet you are more likely to grow taller.
This may be complete nonsense, however I was told that caffeine will stop your growth. When I was 13-14 I would take in quite a lot of caffeine. So that may have stopped my growth.
I really don't see you hitting 6 feet, but the best of luck to you.
It depends, you might stop early liek your parents or you many be growing for quite a while yet.
It seemed like my boys (I have 4) all continued growing until they were 21. Each have reached 6ft, one actually 6'3". hang in there, you've got a ways to go.
Your height will reflect your parent's height. Your parents are short, so you most likely will be short.
You cant make yourself grow taller but dont look just at your parents but their parents as well if they were short to you may be screwed. Genetics suck but thats just how it is. Im 19 and only 4'11 my dad is 5'5 and my mom is 5'3 but there is nothing i can do except accept it and move on. Girls like confidence so being taller wont make you any more attractive if you dont have confidence.
i was the same hight as you at 14. im now 6'3 both my parents are smaller than urs, dude, ur gonna grow a lot... drink lotsa milk and try to weigh like... under 11 stone (no clue how to convert that to pounds... sorry...) i weigh under 10 stone, which is apparently not healthy (but i dont care. i can sill lift twice my bodyweight above my head =D thats all that counts)
It is unlikely that you will reach 6ft. Your height depends on your genetics and adequate nutrition to achieve your potential.
you cannot alter your ultimate height- another 2-3 " as a guess depends where you are in your growth spurt
You still have a ways to go. My brother is 6'4", our dad was 5'9", but maternal grandfather was 7', so you know where bro got his height from! Don't worry about it, there is still a chance you will keep growing until you are 19-21 like most males do.
Besides, any girl worth a grain on salt won't care about your height. My BF is 5'8" physically, but he is 10' tall in my heart.
sorry to disappoint you but unless your parents have some taller ancestry you are about as tall as your going to get but then again you are only 13
If I were you I wouldnt worry about it...at 14 I was 5'4", I'm 16 now and 6'1"...got it all at once
Dude....
I turned 13 a month ago and i'm 6'1".
people at my school are short so you'd be considered tall.
You will at least be 6'0" but could be as tall as 6'2".
your pretty tall.
and your waaaay more into puberty than me.
so good luck
