Answers:
who knows!?!?!? if you're only 13 i'm sure you'll get taller!. most people keep growing until 18!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay, girls usually go through puberty around ten or eleven years of age, I think!. So if you are thirteen, you still have a lot more to grow, and you might be about as tall as your mom, maybe taller!

While, you can look at your parents height, and generally determine, how tall you will eventually be, it is best to go to a doctor, and get this checked!. You might also want to research your family's heritage by growing through a few family trees and checking how tall your other relatives are!.

While it mostly depends your genetic makeup, it helps to keep a healthy intake of calcium, which causes the bones to be stronger and grow!. However, since you are thirteen, you can still grow about three to four more inches!.

By the way, there are different requirements for different types of models!. However, even though, your height can help, I do not think you have anything to worry about!.

Hope this helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most girls favor their mother or father more than the other, so if you favor your Dad's side of the family, you are in luck! But your Mom is also taller than average!. I'd bet you will grow, definitely!. And remember-- you only need to be 5' 7'' to be a model!. Kate Moss was always told she would never have a career in modeling because she was 'too short', and she changed the runway rules for everyone!
So don't worry!. I'm sure you will get taller, and even if you don't, if you want to be a model, you can!. The only time there is a height requirement is when you are a runway model, and even then, if Kate Moss can change the rules for girls who are 5' 7'', then you can change the rules for someone 5' 4"! There's even rumors that she is even shorter than that! People say she is 5' 5''!.
Anything is possible! I'm sure you will grow!. 13 is still so young!. I'm 20, and I grew half an inch when I was 17!.

(Also, you will probably grow taller after you start your period)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not really the case of you looking more or less like your dad, if he is taller than your mother!. The genes are different, except some are dominant (you get those from one chromosone) and some are recessive (dominant ones take over these if there is one dominant and one recessive)!.

Because both your parents are small, i would say that you are going to be small, too!. My mum is only 5'5", my dad is about 5' 7"!. I am only about an inch smaller than my mum, but i have started my periods!. I wouldn't worry about it too much :) after all, we're still young, and even though we'll never be model tall i would rather be a little shorter than my boyfriend!.!.!.??

P!.S!. usually models have to be a minimum of 5'5", so i wouldn't worry about it so much, you're almost there and still growing!. ^_^ Hope i helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Both of your parents are tall!. Your final height will probably be the average of their heights (taking gender into account), so you'll probably be around 5'7" tall!.

The fastest growth period for girls is just before they get their first period (menarche), then growth slows dramatically but continues through the mid-teens in most cases!. Some women grow very slowly into their early twenties!.

Models are often freakishly tall!. It looks okay in a magazine or on TV but it isn't necessarily so great in real life!. The average height for women in Western countries is around 5'4", but seeing models on TV can create the impression that people are much taller!. They're not!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah you will keep growing especially since your thirteen and havent started you period!.
you can go to that doctors and they can tell you how tall you will get!. so i guess you can try that too!.
and from your parents measurements you'll be pretty tall!.

i think you should go for it with your modeling(:

goodluckWww@Answer-Health@Com

More than likely you'll probably grow some more!. However don't get too disapointed if you don't pass your father!. People usually hit a growth spurt around puberty - sometimes its later sometimes its earlier - however you'll continue to grow untill you're early twenties (although your growth rate will decrease radically the older you get after puberty)!. Another thing, thought I'd throw this in because I have a little sister who is the same age as you and she is a bit touchy about her size!. Your height is not the only thing that will grow!. Basically you're in like 8th grade or around there, don't expect to wear the same size clothing in four years!. Its not going to happen!. Remember its not the outside or the physical features that make you who you are!. Surround yourself with people who like you for you not for who they think you should be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My daughter is tall and she's 13, she wishes she was shorter She's about 5"6!. On myspace I always see her admiring all the "tiny girls" profiles at her school because boys your age like the really tiny(short)girls because boys your age are shorter!. I told her one day you'll love being tall!. I told her models are from 5'7 to 6'0!. Her favorite show is America's next Top Model!. I bet you love that show to!. You'll be at least 5'7!. don't worry about it!. As long as you're pretty on the inside, you could be anything you want to be!. An Actress, a Model!. Take care of yourself, eat healthy, live healthy and enjoy being a teen!. You're going to grow until you're about 16-17 years old!. Lot's of luck in everything you do!! =0)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Here is the thing: If you are 5 ft 4, and you have not started your period, you will probably grow to be your mom's height!. Though, you do not have to take a parents height!. I have had my period for a year, my parents are both very tall, but I take the height of my Grandmother and Aunt, I am 5 ft!. 3!. So I will not grow more then an inch!. You will grow!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

While your parents heights can be good indicators of your own height, it's best to talk to your doctor about how tall you will get once you stop growing!.

I was the same way, about 5'3" before I started puberty (age 11) and kept growing to be about 5'8" which I am now (age 16!.) My parents were the same height as yours!.

Now, I've stopped growing but my sister who is 14 is almost my height and still growing!.!. expected to be atleast a full inch or two taller than me (yikes!) So your prospect of "model tall" is pretty good I'd say ; ]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi

Yes, I believe that you will
grow!. If you dad is 5ft 11in and mom
5ft 7in they are both fairly tall!. They
say if you wait to mature that you will
grow taller!.
I have 3 sons the first one they
said would only be 5ft 9in unless he
matured later and he did so he is
5ft 11in!. my second son is 6ft 4in and
my youngest is 6ft 3in tall!.
Now are you ready for this my
husband is 5ft 11in!. and I'm only
5ft 1in!. Everyone laughs when they
see me with my boys!. It's like I"m
standing in a whole!. So good luck
I'm sure you'll get to the height you
want to be!.

hmmm your 13, and you probably won't stop growing until your an adult
so you still have time =]
and since you take back after your dad alot, maybe you too will inherit his tallness lol
and even if your not tall like other models you shouldn't call yourself short, hell i'm 17 and i'm 5'3 1/2 haha! and your 13 your taller than me lol
but i don't call myself short, icall myself "fun size" [:Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have been told that girls stop growing 2 years after their period begins but im not sure thats true!. the average age we stop growing is 16-18, depending on how early u started puberty!. but u will probably end up taller than ur mum, and depending on which genes u inherited, as tall as ur dad!. but u will most definatly be in between those two heights!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

my dad is the same height and i resemble him in many ways!. my mom is like 5'2" or 5'3"ish, but i'm 5'7" and i'm already 17!. your period is going to be your growth spurt,although 13 is kinda late to not have it already, in my opinion!. but no worries, everyones different!. once you start menstrating, you'll be transitioning into womanhood, and hormones will help you in growth!. hope this helps=]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well growth doesn't work like an average of your parents!. Its far more complicated than that!. With your parents being a certain height there are a bunch of combinations of how tall you will be and any one of them could be the gene that was given to you!.

Girls grow to about 16, 17 at the latest so you have time!. I wouldn't think about model tall!.!.!. that seems unlikely but maybe about as high as your mom!? That'd be my guess!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes you will grow especially cus you havent started your period yet and cus your parents are tall but her theres nothing wrong with being a shorty if you pay attention all songs are dedicated to us shortys lol i havent heard a song dedicated to tall freaks{no offense] so b happy on how you are your 13 5'4 thats big time taller than me im 17 and 5'1 and my dad is 5'7 and mom is 5'6 and brother is 5'9Www@Answer-Health@Com

probably, b/c your mom is fairly tall for a woman!.
5'11 is kind of average for a male, but who knows!?
even if you take after yor dad's features, you might end up with your mom's height b/c when your genes are getting mixed up when you're an embryo, the "cross"!. this means that things from your mom and dad come together to make you!. you could any kind of mixed up, wacky thrown together mixture!. so, you'll get have to wait it out and see!. this things are hard to predict!.
but even if you don't, 5'4 is only an inch below average!. you'll be okay!. haha, it's a fairly good height!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

u have to wait thats how my cousin was she didnt get her period till 15 and she is like 5'8 now and its good especially since u didnt get ur period heck im 14 and im 5'4 i know i wont stay like that because my dad is 5'11 and i'm related to tall people even though im almost taller than my mom she is also 5'4 anyways just wait and im sure u'll grow and for women if ur over 5' ft its the regular size for women so its ok ur not alone lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

you will probably grow a couple more inches taller if you've already had your growth spurt, if you havent, you'll grow more than that!. you could do some more research into your family to see if they're short or tall, and that could help, or you could talk to your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You will get taller, but no one knows how tall you will be!. Most people mimic their parents growth in some way, but often times someone else down the bloodline could pass on their shortness or tallness to you!. My mom is about 5'4, my dad 6'0!. I'm 5'8, my one sis is about 5'6 and other sis is about 5'4!. One never knows, but if its modelling you're after---models come in all sizes now!.!.!. Good luck sweetieWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well i heard that once you get your period you're done growing but im not sure!. I went to the doctor a few months ago (before i got my period) and they said i was 5'7 and had only one of my 4 growth plates sealed i have my period now so im wondering too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, you will grow, in fact, you will continue to grow until you reach age twenty to twenty two!. the only downside is that you may not hit a growth spirt till you turn eighteen or ninteen, so dont expect to get taller within the next month or, not even this year, just live your life, and itll hit you before you know it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You probably won't be close to model tall (very few people are) but you will get a little taller!.

But don't let you down!.!.!.!.you're only 13 so right now it seems like you feel you will be more beautiful only if you are significantly taller, but you will find as you get older that it doesn't really matterWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes you will be growing! you will be much taller than what you are now, especially since you're still 13!. you still have a lot of growing room left, and you haven't quite hit puberty!.
but you will be tall, juding from your parents heights!.

once you've gotten your period, you'll grow inches in no time at all!
hope i helped:)Www@Answer-Health@Com

At 13 I'm sure you will get taller!. I am only suppose to grow up to 5 feet!. (My doctor found out some how)
I am 4'11 right now!.
Mum - 5'3
Dad - 5'11 and a half
Brother - 6'4
Oh and I am 13 as well!.
Model height is usually about 5'6 or 5'7 at the least, you might be up there you never know!.
Oh and what really sucks is that I have already had my growth spurt!. I was 4'8 and now I am 4'11!. I am very tiny!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

both your parents are a bit taller than average, and it's good that you haven't started menstruating yet!. Eat healthy, lots of fruits, vegetables and protein, get exercise and plenty of sleep!. That will maximize your chances to be taller!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Up to the age of 21 you will be growing!. Take more of milk !. You are only 13 yrs old!. You will be definitely become taller!. Regarding your puberty it varies depending on the race, family etc!. The period may start some times late , for some!. So wait!. You will be getting your period!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My mother is 5' 7" and my father is 6' 1", I have ONE predecessor under 5' 7", and I got her short gene!. I'm 5' 4"!. And her super fair skin gene!. I'm nearly seventeen, and I'm not counting on getting any taller!. You're only 13, you still have a chance! Grow my friend, grow! Avoid caffeine and steroids! Drink milk!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, since you are a female, you will most likely be your mother's height, but not quite your father's!. I think you'll be 5'8", but don't be upset if you're not, because you could be linked to like your aunt's height or someone shorter in your family!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry :) I just turned 15 and I'm only 5'1" =]
I have big feet so I should keep growing!.
Also, girls grow until they are around 18-20 years!.
And once you start your period, your body will start to develop and the growth spurts will kick in!.
Haha we're in this together! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
