	i have no privacy i can't stand my step-mom everyone thinks my sister's better than me my family is really poor my dad doesn't like my friends my mom thinks i'm insane my christian cousin is gay... i hate seeing my mom kiss her boyfriend... my sister is anorexic... my sister and i like the same guys my parents fight about money my mom focuses on mistakes i've made in the past my mom's been snooping... how do i tell my mom i want to be a vegan? I lied about dating a younger boy, my mom would think I'm a loser my dad insults me my parents don't believe in dating i'm an atheist but my mom's a lutheran i have to share a room with an eight year old my mom read my diary i'm not allowed to date! i cannot get along with my mom... my mom and i are always yelling at each other. my parents are paranoid about me dating. my mom is a big emotional mess. i just found out my dad is really my step-dad. i want to be on birth control. how do i ask my mom? my mom won't let any of my friends drive me places. i want to find my real dad. my dad and grandma are always fighting. i can hear my mom having sex with her boyfriend at night. i have my license but my mom won't let me drive on my own. my parents are getting divorced and i'm freaking out. my mom hates my best friend. my dad looks at porn online, then blames my sister and me. my mom doesn't like my boyfriend because he is not christian. should i tell my mom that i'm not a virgin? my parents don't support my vegetarianism. what can i do? my mom doesn't believe that i'm bi. how can i convince her that this isn't a phase? i think my dad is cheating on my mom. should i say something? my brother is mad because i'm hooking up with his best friend. my mom tries to fit in with my friends and it's really annoying. i found a video of my brother smoking pot and i'm worried about him. my mom won't let me wear make up. my family keeps pressuring me to find a boyfriend. how can i get them to back off?

Whenever I go to family get togethers my aunts and uncles always ask me if I have a boyfriend yet. My mom even wanted me to go on a blind date with her coworker's son.

I'm 18, I've never had a boyfriend and I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon. It's a bit of a sensitive issue for me and I wish they would just back off. How can I let them know that my love life is my business and nobody else's?

    Don't Pressure
    Well I think you should let them know that you just dont want a boyfriend right now. And also let them know that the right person obviously hasn't came in your life yet. Also tell them that if you're happy that's all that matters.

But then again maybe they think you're lonely or a lesbian. But I'm pretty sure that wouldnt be the case. And I'm not trying to say I think you are.

    Easiest Way.
    You want to know what it is? Then LIE that you already have a Boyfriend. Hire some guy who have some guts to pretend that his your BF.

    Kill One Of Them
    I'm sure if you murdered one of them they would stop pestering you. Haha I'm just kidding! I think you should just tell them to stop worrying about it.

    I think you should talk to them one by one and tell them how you feel and hope they respect your opinion.

    I have the same problem. I explain gently to my relatives that I'd prefer to keep that information private, and I let them do with that information what they will. I'm sure your relatives mean well, and they just want you to be happy, but I do agree that it's terribly annoying having to justify yourself against people you share bloodlines with.
