I am 13 & 3 months at 5'6" tall. When I was 12 I was only at 5'2. Do you think I will continue my growth spurt and grow 4+ inches by the time I turn 14? How tall do you think I can get?

You will continue to grow until the caps at the end of your long bones fuse shut, around age 19-21.
How tall is your dad? Your uncles?

I'm guessing you will end up between 5'8" and 5'10" or even a little taller since our nutrition now is much better than during the previous generation. Your doctor probably has a growth chart and can do a good guesstimate based on your height at certain ages.
