Answers:

Eh, you'll start growing more and more around 14-17. Just be patient. You're still sort of young and 5'4 at 13 isn't bad. I'm 15 (gonna be a sophomore) and it was only last year that I really noticed the guys in my class getting taller and taller. Even my friend who was always shorter than me is taller than me now! I noticed most of the girls getting taller too. Like, omg. There was one girl. She's always been shooort and shorter than me. At the beginning of the year she was shorter than I am..but by the end she was a couple inches taller..she GREW!
Look at your family..mom and dad's sides. Are the men shorter, as tall as, close to your height, or much taller? It depends on genetics. If your father, brothers, uncles, and grandpas are all around 5'10-6' then thats about how tall you'll be. Same goes for if they're all between 5'5 and 5'8 etc. etc.
Btw: 5'9 is about the average height!
