Nick W	i dont know it might be, but your dad is definately short, but mabe his brothers or his father is tall, or on your moms side, ask them about it and when you get your check up, the doctor can give you a brief estimate to where you are in your growth spurt.

KC	MAYBE BECAUSE OF HEREDITY....it's normal that the son is taller than his father..and you can still grow depending on your genes and physical aspects.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bonnie S	You are not done growing. Your dad is extremely short for a guy. What height are your grandparents, aunts and uncles, mom? They all have a genetic effect on your height. Does your dad have an illness that made him shorter. My grandson had a heart problem that made him shorter, kidney problems can sometimes cause a child not to grow as well. He may also just be genetically short. You won't stop growing until your around 19 but are at an average height for your age. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Chris	your no where done growing you just started puberty. usually when teen boys leave highschool from their entering they look extremely taller then before. trust me youll notice that if you leave highschool freshman year and return senior year the kids look humongous, even little kids i thought would never get any taller. second question is yes its normal your growing up in the future where people are taking in more vitamins and nutrients than when your father was a kid so your probally healthy lol hannah i know what you were talking about, i thought the same thing when i saw the beginning. im bigger than my dad im 13 almost 14 lol Was this answer helpful to you?

FeatherHead	You'll grow until about 20... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Neville J	This is normal, especially if you take after the men in your mother's genes. It can be also that you have skipped a generation of genes. Either way you will surely gain more height and feet size, you are only 13 after all. I think most likely you took after the men in your mother's gene pool. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

luuu	nah, you're probably just hitting your first of many growth spurts. its totally normal Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

victimofya	its just how it goes, kids can grow taller than their parents otherwise we'd all be the same height apparently 1 in 10 people werent fathered by who they think they are though, so shrug Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hannah H	scared the beep out of me at first...if you know what I mean...LMFAO Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PeaceOfMind	You don't necessarily get your height from your mom and dad. You could've gotten your height from one of your grandparents or great-grandparents etc. and the gene just decided to kick in when it got to you. My dad is only 5'8" and my brother is 6'4'', so you can't always go by your parents' heights. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Marmar	it's normal and no kobe bryant was 5.6 when he was 12 and now he's .... and also hes dad isn't that tall Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

michael43551	You could be taking after your mom's side of the family. Not at all unusual to be taller than or bigger than your father. Two of my brothers are HUGE (like giants, 6'2", 6'4") and me and our other brother tend to be not as huge (more like big/average, 5'10", 6'). We all do have the same father, but he is slim/average (5'10"). Our mother's father was HUGE so that's where the ginormousness in our family comes from, anyway. Genetics are strange. Remember, old folks like me (39) tend to shrink. The best way to know for sure that your done growing is to get an x-ray of your ankle. The doctor can tell if your bones are done or not. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scarface	because you only get half his genes. What about your mom's side of the family? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ilyangela123	yes hunny it is so normal this happens to lots of boys ur age. it happend to my Brother. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Shadow	yes its normal my friend is that way to. youll grow a little more. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sandman	You got your jeans from your other family like your dads ancestors or mothers Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

baby7k	I highly doubt you are done growing, you're very young. My mom is only like 5'2 and I'm about 5'5 and my dad isn't much taller than me. Its not just your parents height that has something to do with how tall you're going to be. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Girl.	Totally normal! You just got the tall genes :] And no...it doesn't mean you're done growing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tsengjin	It's normal. Maybe you got your parents recessive genes and turn out to be tall instead or there is possibly genes that skip a generation and goes on to you. As you get taller your foot does too. Sorry not done growing kid. You have several more years to go Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

l00k_up	Done growing, I would doubt it at your age. If your feet and hands are bigger, than you are going to be taller too. It just tends to work that way. You probably have 2 more years of growing left. This is very common to be taller than you parents. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dan R	Cause... He'ss..Not..Your..Real...Dad... J/K.. Are your grandparents tall or even great grandparents? Genes passed down through generations can show up at the strangest times. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

C.Danger	Your dad is on the shorter side - the average height of a man is 5'8''. You're going through your growth spurt and chances are you'll be average height when you're done growing... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ohyeah887	you more than likely are not finished growing, unless there is some abnormalities you are genetically more likely than not either bigger than your mother or father and there is no determination to how much bigger you will be its perfectly normal for you to be growing it may feel weird to be bigger then your father since you look up to him but try not to think much of it after all he is still your dad if you want to ask your parents how tall your grandparents were learn some stuff about your aunts and uncles genes run in the family and you have genes from both your mothers and fathers sides but by the sounds of it everything is perfectly normal and you are also going threw puberty so you will probably growing a lot faster than you're used to. lol good luck with all the growing and don't feel bad just because you're taller than your dad Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
