wait wait wait what!??? your 13 and have a 15 year old??

well technically the tall gene is in your parents genes, so if you think of it in the terms of Xy and XX chromosomones there is around a 1/4-1/2 chance you will develop these genes.

regardless of `diet` you will continue to grow, however a lack of a mixed diet can stunt your growth to a certain extent. due to your young age it is quite hard to tell how tall you will be in the future.
i would wait til you hit puberty, or have been going through it for a while around 15/16.

but i can safely say you WILL GROW taller, just continue watching your diet and exercising and it should work out well..

take care:)

Be patient! You will grow.
