How can i grow taller? i'm short for my age?

Question

i'm 13 years old, going into 8th grade in a few days. i'm 5'0. my mom is 4'11 (i think) and my dad is somewhere between 5'5-10. we're an asian family. my dad is on the kind of tall side for an asian and my mom is short. i'm like the shortest in class. do you think i'll grow to be like my dad or like my mom? i know there's a 50/50 chance... anyway so what are some great methods to grow taller, other than putting injections and taking pills? and do asians have growth spurts? if so, do i still have a chance?

Answer 1

I am half asian, I am Venezuelan!!!!!! I am 4'9 and i am 11 years old!! So u are taller than  me!!! Don't worry about it!!! Just do some exercise and play any games u like and eat healthy things!!! my mother is like ur mother height and my father is like 5'5 and being short doesn't matter because there are high heels!!!! Take care!

Answer 2

You're Asian. You're always going to be short, and probably quite thin. Be grateful. Just think, you could be like 6 feet tall and 300 lbs! That would be a LOT worse.

Answer 3

Congratulations you made it to 5 feet.

You are in no way the shortest in your class, you just haven't noticed that at least 5 % of your grade is shorter than you, boys and girls that is if you go to a public school with about 300 kids.  

Answer 4

I am a CCMA

There is nothing that you can do as you are dealt the hand you are given.. You have plenty of time to grow at least another 5 years
