How to grow taller when being a vegetarian?

I’ve been a vegetarian since 2006 and I think that it may be effecting how much I grow (in terms of height). I’m 16 now and I started when I was 14. I am about 4’11” and I was 4’9” when I was 13. So if it is effecting it, what can I eat to help me grow. I’m a picky vegetarian, I don’t like tofu. Also, I take b-12 every morning. Are there any vitamins that could help?

calcium tablets and protein shakes . . . the shakes are nasty, but you need your protein!
