Hi
I'm 18 yrs old female and 5 ft 3.5 inches tall. Pretty short. Right?? I know and it's really depressing. I been stressing about my height and I really don't want to believe that it's height is hereditary because both of my parents are pretty short. I want to be at least 5ft 6 inches tall. I was wondering if vitamins would still help me to grow. I also heard that vitamin b-6 could boost your metabolism. I might be wrong. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

um... if you think you have reason to be depressed, then i guess i should just kill myself because i'm only 5'1" lol. you shouldn't feel so self-conscious. that's not even short in this country; it's average, and i bet in vietnam it's probably above the norm.
my guess is you can't change your height. my mom was concerned about my lack of height (because i'm significantly shorter than both my parents) so she took me to a growth specialist, who told me that girls generally stop growing three years after their first period. and personally, i've never heard of any girl growing after the age of 18. so you should just accept your height... it honestly sounds ideal to me anyway... not too short, not too tall.
from your topic title, i thought you wanted vitamin recommendations and i was totally going to recommend flintstones sour gummies. they taste fantastic.
edit: i must be on something... the OT didn't even mention vietnam did it? i think i scanned it, mistook vitamins for vietnam, and assumed you were from there... god that was weird

Height may be partially genetic, but it also has a lot to do with diet. Vitamins might help a little bit, but diet has a much bigger impact. But the impact reduces with age, so you probably won't get a lot more growth even with an improved diet. Also, stress can play a role as well, so stop worrying so much about your height - it's counterproductive!

i suggest you to give up since you're 18 already 
those vitamin supplements won't do anything to your height
it's all in your genes and your diet during your puberty times.
