so...my name is Rebecca and I'm 17, going to be a senior in high school . i am currently at either the 2nd or 3rd spot in my class academically, but plan to graduate as valedictorian...so if you have a problem academically I'd love to help! i want to be a journalist (and kind of am), which means i may be a little harsh, but i do have a not-so-sharp edge (don't get me wrong, i can be sassy, I'd just rather smile :) ) . I love knowing that i can help someone and I'm actually of use to someone. When i was younger i was more shy, and all people knew about me was that i was a good friend and for the people i answer...i hope you think so too!
Also, God is big in my life. Like my whole life. And for anything I help you with...I give Him all the glory. It's all about Him and what He's given us. :)

Coincidently, there's going to be a lot of relatives coming over this summer but most of them are coming like 3 days before my birthday and staying during it. I'm REALLY not a birthday kind of person and I'll just eat a slice of cake, that it. No parties, gifts, etc.
But as much as I tell people this frequently, I know that they'll try to pull off something. I just hate birthdays. Why would I celebrate getting older?
Is there ANYTHING I can do? (link)

i think the only real way tp get your family to understand you really don't want to make your birthday a big deal is by explaining to them why. particularly your parents becuase in my experiance, if you don't make a big deal of your birthday and your parents don't mention anythihg, well you guys are the ones it matters most to so other relatives or friends may think twice before making a big deal.
but i gotta say, if you really don't have a reason, enjoy it! i mean, i an understand not wanting to be the center of attention, but what harm could come out of a few hugs and some gifts? plus, i'm assuming you're still young if you still live where you can't control who comes over, so celebrate the years when you ARE young. i am probably just overly motivated right now becuase today is my birthday, but just try to enjoy it. no matter what happens, it's your day.
