So I'm italian, and I'm pressured by family/friends/media to have a tan because most italians have tanned skin.
I'm naturally light skinned (not pale) but I do tan easily. The thing is, I'm so tired of tanning..and I don't want to ruin my skin. And I hate fake tanning products! I tried it and it's so annoying having to waste my time reapplying each day. But, I feel like every guy prefers girls to have tanned skin; on TV all you see is tanned skin! I'm fine with my skin color overall. Do guys really care what your skin tone is? Does it matter if your just plain white or tan? (link)

You need to address how this is affecting you to them. Their behavior is utterly ridiculous and ignorant, and no matter what skin tone you are it has nothing to do with your background, and moreover, who you are as a person.
Judging by what you've stated, there are some deep seated issues regarding how you present yourself. Not surprising when you're living in a world that's constantly shoving mainstream propaganda down your throat. The truth is, you are beautiful the way you are.
You should be tired. At this point, I'd be fed up. There's absolutely nothing wrong with not tanning. Actually, there's more wrong WITH tanning than not. Skin cancer isn't beautiful. You are entitled to love the skin you are in. And no, it does not matter if you are white, black or tan. Real men care about personalities.

Thankyou so much! I'll definitely try to state my feelings to them. I just feel so pressured sometimes..and you're right, skin cancer isn't beautiful. Unlike them, I won't have skin cancer
