The average height of a boy 13 years old should be about 62 inches. This will be just under 5ft 2 inches. Their weight should be about 102 lbs.
By the time a boy is 13 and going through puberty, he might be about to start or is already going through growth spurts. A boy will reach his peak growth spurt when he is 13.5 years old. A growth spurt could last 2 to 3 years, where a boy could grow 4.5 inches in this time. A boy’s weight and height might see many changes when they are a teenager. They could lose and gain weight quite rapidly, and also grow taller seemingly overnight. Every child matures and grows at different rates when they are a teenager.
Most boys will also start to develop sexually from the age of 10 until the age of 13, and will carry on growing until they are about 16.  Sexual maturation is also called puberty. Dramatic changes will take place for both girls and boys. Hormones will transform a boy and girl into a physically mature teenager as his or her body develops. It is important for a boy to eat a well-balanced and healthy diet. He should engage in a physical activity every day to make sure that he grows and develops properly during his teen years.
Boys will tend to start showing the physical changes that come with puberty from the age of 10 up to the age of 16 years. They will grow quite quickly between the ages of 12 up to 15 years old. The growth spurts in a boy are usually about two years after that of a girl. By the time he is 16 years old, he could stop growing but his muscles will carry on developing.

Well, there is no exact height. I've been a midget and a giant. At 12 I was 4'11, 13 - 5'3, 14 - 5'7, 15 - 6'0, 16 - 6'3, 17 - 6'5, 18 - 6'6. Nobody cares how tall you are just enjoy your height

That's not an easy question to answer.  Every one is different.  You could be 13 and be 5' or 6' .  a lot depends on your genes.

Hey I'm a 14 year old boy and I'm 5'6 3/4 to be precise (169cm).
I was 5'3 - 5'4 last year when I was thirteen. It all depends on your dads and moms height and how your lifestyle is and if you exercise. My dad is 6'tall or maybe smaller and my mom is 5'6 1/2.
I hope I don't grow to much more because I hate being tall. Don't worry about it anyways you have plenty of time to grow and by the way I know a 15 who is 4'10!!

I'm 13 and 4'9" so I'm pretty small. My parents are 5'10 and 5'4".

I hope I get a massive growth spurt soon because at the moment it doesn't look like I'm going to very tall😓

Well I'm 13 and I'm 5,2 my dad is 5.4 and my mom is 5,3 so I don't think I'm going to get very tall but I would say that the average height for a 13 year old would be 5,4 5,5

I'm a 13-year old girl and I'm almost 5'8. Most of the boys in my class/grade are at least 5'5. Some boys are 5'10, some are 5'6. There isn't a certain height a 13-year old boy should be though. It depends on recessive genes and all that other scientific stuff.

Actually they might not be lying, I'm 13 and I'm 5'8" and I have a friend and his name is blake and hes 13 and he is 6'1" its ridiculous but hes not going to grow anymore thats the downside, people grow to fast too quickly and they have problems when they get older so...their probably not lying

I am 5ft3 and just turned 13. I think average should be 5ft2-5ft4 inches tall. I was the tallest student in grade 6 at 5 feet tall. And average weight should be 100-125 pounds. I am in grade 7 and taller than all my friends. I think I am pretty tall in this case

This is the time when you may experience a serious growth spurt, and your limbs may ache a little. That is uncomfortable, but normal. Best advice...eat as healthy as you can. This will help you achieve your optimum height...and health, overall.

I am 13 and 5"4. It all really depends on how you handle yourself. Whether you eat right, parents height, etc. I have really been trying to grow taller but nothing has happened so far...
Remember, you are undergoing height changes during this point.

I'm 13 and 7 months I'm 6"0 1/2 and weigh 215 pounds and I lift weights so the average is about 5"7 150 pounds but it depends on genes if you play sports eat health sleep enough.

Wow! Those are some tall people! I am 5'6 and 100 pounds, which is about average. Most of the people in my grade are 5'4-6'0. I am under-weight for my height though. Mostly 5'4's though. But most of the guys are my height or taller.

I am 13 and about 5'2 or 5'3 but my dad is 6'9 but then again my mom is only 5'5 or 5'6 but I am hoping that I'll grow taller soon, but like a few other people on here I'm a quarter asian on my moms side and I've been 13 for about six months now.
