Well, Im not quite sure how to make yourself grow taller except what every parent tells you "eat your vegetables and fruit". But dont feel bead. You might grow within the next few years because usually a human takes about 18-20 years to fully grow. And to let you know, I am 17 years old and I am only a few inches over 5 feet and I look like a 12 year old with some exceptions. Get back and let me know how everything goes for you.

Ooo, no hun ya can't. Don't worry, my BFF is your age and exactly 5 feet, so is her 18 year old sister. You don't have to be tall. I'm 5'8 and 13, I'd kill to be short. Everyone's different. Don't worry about it at all, a lot of girls are your height.

Drink more milk, stretch more. You're only 13, girls get their last growth spurt around 18 so you've got a ways to go. You still have time to grow.

Eat a diet rich in calicum and take in plenty of vitamn D. This should help your bones become bigger and stronger. During ossification you will grow taller. Don't be too worried because you are a good height for your age. I'm even shorter. Also your putitery (sp?) gland works slowly. In time you will be tall. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

Hey... im srry i kno this wont help you but I do not know any ways but I just wanted to say.. that you are a perfectly fine height, it doesnt matter if people are taller than you or not! Plus being short has advanatageS!! lol Basically, just keep eating healthy and getting enough sleep.. Also if that doesnt work... you can alwayz resort to.... HIGH HEELS! lol

Dude, you're not short. I don't think there's really a way to get taller than besides growing normally. I'm shorter than you, same age and stuff.. believe me, if there was a way to get taller faster, I'd know. You could stuff your shoes, wear heels and such... and broken patterns on pants (like camo) make your legs look longer. Hang out with short people if you prefer, but my friends are tall, and I like them that way. Though, I'd like them just as much if they were short. Eat your veggies, drink alot of milk, and be happy with how God made you!

There's no "magic" way to grow hun, sorry. But look on the bright side, you're only 13 and girls only stop growing at the age of 18. Believe me, you'll get taller, you just have to give it time. I'm only 17 and 5''4. Plus, guys like girls that are short, they find it cute. So, that's always a bonus!
