If you started at 13, then I don't think you have anything to worry about. You can grow (maybe not as steadily as before, but still) even up until 19 or 20 for some people, so don't worry. I believe the average height for an adult man is 5'8. How tall are you?

I was 4'11 at 13, (no joke). Some people just have a different rate of growth. You may start and stop, grow a foot and then never again, anything is really possible. Just give yourself time. Stay active and eat healthy, and you don't need to worry about anything.

Thank you for replying! I appreciate it. I'll quit worrying.

I really don't think you stopped growing, you will probably continue to grow, you might not stop until you're probably 19 or so.
