Hello and thank you for your question. At the age of 18 you are not likely to get any taller. Height is determined by genetics and nutrition and peaks around the age of 14-15 in most teens. There is no pill that you can take to make yourself taller. However, short women can be very powerful and successful in business or any other profession that you choose. Do not be concerned about your height, work on developing a professional image and being the best you can be at whatever career path you choose. I wish you great success.
