Answers:
Dude don't worry so much, you're 13, you have so much growing room to go! You'll probably sprout up when you hit 15 or 16!. I'm 19 right now and 5'4"! So you'll probably end up taller than me! Don't worry so much about it, just eat a healthy diet!. Your period has nothing to do with your height, so don't worry about that either!. And guys love shorter girls! I am yet to meet a guy who likes girls who are taller! And believe me, you're not short at all, you're on the right track!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think (I'm not sure) that girls stop growing when they're around 18-21!. Some people are just born short!. Well, everyone's born short, but you know what I'm talking about, lol!. But sometimes it can be cause of an underlying problem, such as celiac disease (which is where you can't digest gluten, so it damages the small villi in your small intestine causing malnutrition, which can stunt growth)!. You can get tested for that through blood tests and an upper endoscopy (where they stick a camera tube/endoscope down your throat, take a sample of your intestine and test it for celiac disease)!. Not saying you have that, but I heard that sometimes that can stunt growth!.

Anyway, don't worry about being short!. I'm 20, and my height is 5'1"!. I know, that probably sounds horrible to you!. But remember that good things come in small packages!. It's easier for you to fit under a guy's arms when he holds you (or so I've heard!. If I ever experience that I'll let you know, lol)!. Also, you're still growing!. So don't get so upset!. Don't worry, be happy ;)

You will probably peak at 5'5 in the next 2 years as girls usually stop growing at 15!. Sometimes there is no further growth 2 or 3 years after your first period!.

Plenty of protein (meat), calcium (milk) and zinc (red meat, oysters, mussels and nuts) will help your destined normal growth and a deficiency can stunt it!. Under eating can also stunt your growth!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can't just grow!. It's the way you were born so you gotta live with that!.
I'm 16 and not going to grow anymore!. I'm 5"5'
