From sabina, Age 17

Ht. 5'7", Wt. 164 - I really need to vent. Today my cousins and I went to the movies and then out to eat. The whole time they were going on abou thow skinny they were and then they would tell me I shouldn't really eat anything since I need to lose weight. then when the waiter was being nice to me they go please that's the only type of guy who would be interested in you. i don't get it I am told I'm very pretty by lots of guys. They ask me out but I'm not allowed to date till I'm in college. My cousin who is my age was doing that diva thing you know the LETS TALK AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE AND HAVE THE ATTENTION OF THE RESTAURANT thing. The whole time she goes," It doesn't matter if you're fat or skinny you're just not pretty." Coming from a girl who has awful skin and paints her face with layers of makeup I know it really shouldn't bug me but my god does it hurt. It hurts so bad. and the worst part is I have no idea how to stand up to her. They were my ride home so what can I possibly say. and when I told my mom she wouldn't believe me and said they were only trying to help. I don't get it I can stand up for myself at school but when it comes to my family I just sit there and take it. Please I could use advice and don't say I should quit wallowing in pity b/c I'm not. This is my family what am I supposed to do, yell at them and cause more problems. I told them to stop and I really can't take this. I can't wait for college in a few months
