Most medium mass stars such as our Sun DO become red giants.

Smaller stars do not have enough mass to initiate helium fusion when the hydrogen supply begins to run low, and do not become red giants.

What are red giants in astronomy?

Red Giants are stars that have become larger throughout millions of years and are about to blast and become tiny white drawfs. Our sun after millions of years will become a red giant it self and when it does we won't be alive because it will be so hot and much more closer to the Earth then it is right now.
