If you are still at school you should be still growing and its a well known fact that a growing body needs to be fed with correct nutrition\nso talk to your parents about this that is if they claim you

yes. sometimes, when you lift too much, with poor technique, it can effect your spine, and effect how tall or short you ultimately are.

yes it will help your bones get stronger, and also aid in helping you grow. don't worry though, you are only 13 and not at the peak of your growing age. most people don't stop growing until they hit 18. you will grow more through the years...trust me!

from your avatar I assume you are a female. What you didnt say was how old you are.   If you are 12 or older consider your self done growing unless you grow sideways from eating to much. In other words you wont get any taller and your feet wont get any bigger either. Picture yourself like  the frame of a house that is built. The only thing now is to fill it in.  And from 12 to 14 is when this filling in takes place and the hips will shape and so on. \nBoys dont finish building thier frames until they are 16 and some not untill 18 and then they fill them in. No matter what size you are  be it large or small be happy with it because it is yours and noone else in the world can have it which makes it special and makes you special. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

There are no studies to indicate that your growth will be affected by going to the gym. In fact, doctors would encourage you to be active and healthy.\nTraining will not make you any shorter.

I don't think so - mine grew a size quickly with a growth spurt too - seriously not implants!

No its not gonna stunt your growth, but it is a terrible habit to start, and even worse to stop if you do start so please think about it very hard, you can be cool and not smoke.

Be very careful here...Yes, tremendous growth if you work out like a banshee. No muscle will develop without being forced to. Steroids (testosterone) will enhance the effects of working out, but there are some nasty side effects: Shrink your nuts up like made, and destroy sex drive. Take the wrong kind long enough and you may develop breast tissue. You have to know what you are doing to play with this stuff...I do not advise touching it if you do not have a good coach on the subject. AND, this stuff is now classed as a nasty substance that can land you in jail if you are caught. Trust NO one when buying it...they may be narcs! And, there is one heck of a lot of counterfeit stuff out there. Almost no way to get it any more.

you have your last growth spurt when your 18. so unless your past that age i would just leave it up to time but you can go to your doctor and ask about a vitaman that will increase your height

yep.  It stalls your growing taller when you are young.

I think it does....I started martial arts and being athletic when I was 10. I'm now 5'6 but I'm the shortest in my entire family!! My brother is 6'6....\n\nHowever the answer is No. There are many athletes and bodybuilders who are tall yet started lifting in their teens (for example, Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Michael Vick, Dave Draper and Arnold Schwarzenegger). Weightlifting being a growth stunter is a myth.\n\nThat is absolutely false. It is a complete myth that weightlifting stunts growth.\n\nRunning and jumping alone puts a force more than 5 times a person's weight on one legs. If a man is 200 lbs, he'd have to be squatting more than 1,000 lbs in order to be putting more stress on his legs than regular running or jumping would do. If running or jumping doesn't stunt your growth, neither will doing squats.\n\nWorking out and lifting weights should not affect your reaching your potential genetic height

Well, I wouldn't call it normal, but it isn't all that bad a thing either. I have a friend who is in your exact situation, but he's very proud of it. You should be too. And you never know, the rest of your body might just "grow" into it in a couple of years.

To be sure you could go to a growth specialist, but my guess is that you will grow to be at least on the shorter end of average. Don't expect to be NBA tall, but also don't worry so much about your height, you are many years before your growth stops.

it's always possible.  Genetics plays a huge role in how tall you're going to be.  Go to the dr. they can tell how tall you may be or if you have stopped growing.

please don't take growth suppliments. you are what you are. being taller wont make your life better. Try doing things that make you a better you on the inside.

Being short is not a curse. I am 18 years old and have been 4 11 since i was a sophomore in High school. I love being the way I am. I would not want to be any taller if I had the chance. You still have time to grow. Just eat healthy and perhaps you can get the most out of the growing time you have left. If you want to know whether or not you are done growing go to your doctor and get an x-ray of your growth plates in your legs. If they are fused together you are done growing. I have been done for  a very long time. Embrace your height, it is not a bad thing. Granted you will never be a basket ball player but you have many other things to your advantage.
