my parents are always giving me compliments on how beautiful i am, blah blah blah. i hate it!! it annoys me so much, and i don't know how i'm supposed to respond. it doesn't bug me when my friends compliment me and stuff, but i absolutely hate it when my parents do it. i cant even fix my hair in the mirror without my parents looking at me and saying to eachother "look at my daughter, shes so pretty". i used to wear my hair up all the time and i used to wear glasses. my parents got me contacts, and i liked wearing them, but when i didn't they would get mad, especially my dad. they would be like "wheres your contacts, you're so pretty. and wear your hair down!" omg, so i stopped doing it because i hate getting compliments from them. i wear my hair down and contacts now because they stopped complimenting me about that, but still they compliment me. i cant even put on makeup in front of them because my mom would just stop and watch me. i hate it! what am i supposed to do? i feel like i cant even groom myself and try to make myself pretty now because of them saying something. i don't like it when they do it. what do i do?

Tell them it embarsses you and that it makes you feel uncomfortable. Sk them to please..in a nice way..stop.
Maybe they are just stunned that they produced such a fine human being..
