what can I do?!
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?

Kittzen talking,
Maybe you can try on your birthday sitting down with all your family and nicely telling them all at once. be polite and ask them why they enjoy to gather on your birthday. maybe you'll find the awnster is you don't have a family renioun and people chose to take it out on your birthday, or they just love you that much. you never know.
Try and if they don't listen try gatheing on their birthdays and see how they like it. Second though are you sure someone in your family isn't telling everone to gather?
Hope you can find relif from your bithday mayhem.
enjoy,
Kittzen

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.
