Is there any way to become taller?

I'm 5'1 and my height never really bothered me until recently. I was thinking about if I were to get into a fight or if a robber broke in, my height alone has no intimidation and I would probs get my butt kicked. Also the girls at my university are super tall and I feel like an irrelevant ant standing next to them. I wanna be able to walk with long strides and make people feel intimidated. Right now I take munchkin steps and i feel like a joke. The yogurts/fruit cups at my dinning halls are on high shelves and I always wanna get them but I can never reach, but other girls can get them without a problem- bish i wanna do that too!!! Is there surgery to make people taller or are there any illusions I can do to appear taller?

    Ah height. I always wished I was short, but it wasn't in the cards for me. I'm a 20 year old girl and I am 5'10, and my height has always bothered me. People coming up to me and going, "Omg you're so tall, you're just going to get taller, how tall are you?" I take that as a insult. I mean really, would if I came up to them and said, "Omg you're so fat, you just keep getting fatter!" It's basically the same thing.

    Everyone in my life is so short, and I always wanted to be dainty, and mini, and cute. Instead I've always been tall, lanky, and awkward. People had said I'm lanky, and I'm sorry but lanky isn't a compliment. I hit my head of stuff all the time and have to duck because of my height, people always make me get things for them on the top shelf because of my height, I can't wear knee length dresses in the summer because they always go up to my crotch, and my feet are huge!

    When I picture a beautiful women I picture a women who is very short, and she has this big man that protects her and it's adorable. I feel like my height makes me manly. My boyfriend actually is 5'7 or below, and I'm thin but God love him he's skinnier then me! I have to bend my knees when kissing him, and I'm just like, "Jeez whyyyyy do I have to be tall!" And all his family is short, so it's like when I'm around them I'm the odd one out. I just wanna be their size!!!!! My boyfriend and his friends think I'm just so cute, but I mean women that are 5'10 cannot be cute! I mean 5'1 you're freaking adorable! I love short people! I envy short people! You see little memes on facebook about short girls, and short girl problems, and like "I want your problems!!!!!!" No one cares about the tall weird and awkward chick, nawww screw her. And then you see these little memes about, "Short girl with tall guys equals perfect, tall girl with short guy equals awkward," Its like FFFFFFUUUUU! Everyone is shorter then me, so if I can find a short guy that loves me (which I have) then screw you society!

    Anyways lol enough of my ranting. No height is perfect, and I don't think anything is really happy with their heights. Trust me I would love to be 5'1, and if we could trade I would. And just because you're short doesn't mean you can't be powerful. I might be tall, but I have the power of a kitten. Height doesn't determine how strong someone is. Actually the last guy I dated (who was also shorter then me) used to lift me up in his arms while we kissed, he used to pick me up a lot. So height doesn't mean power. I love short people, and you should too because lets face it, short people are the best.

    Move to the Philippines where the average height is 4'9" or something. You will be a giant.
