tell them how much its effecting you. they probably don't know its lowering your esteem. My family use to do the same thing to me. It really lowered my self esteem. They even called me ugly but the truth is they weren't aware of how it was hurting me. i grew up feeling that way and just learn to have confident in my self. I would say talk with them. sit down and tell them how its effecting you. or every time they compare you to someone or call you fat, tell them how you feel and that you will appreciate it it they will stop. Be strong about it. be a little assertive so they will take you seriously. I dont think its fair in the first place for someone to call you fat or keep comparing you to others, or even calling you boring. good luck and let me know how it goes. hope i helped.
