Is it normal for my parents to be this concerened with my appearence

cant choose your parents, but you can ignore them once you move out ;)

Thats why I moved out as soon as I turned 18 !!!!!

My mother is the other way around. When I wear makeup she says "Why would you cover up Gods handiwork? You are beautiful just the way he made you."

I don't think it's normal. I'm also 18, 5'4'', and between 140-145 ibs, but no one has ever called me fat, and I'm the only person who thinks I should lose weight.

You're parents don't seem very supportive if they say that you're "scary" without make-up- I don't wear make-up at all, and no one says anything. And if you're boyfriend think you're fine the way you are, then why should you have to change?

She shouldn't fuss over your taste in vanity, but no one likes an ornery female either. If you are happy the way you are then stay that way.

This is really strange, it sounds almost like they're planning to marry you off! Just you be happy with your appearance coz I'm sure you don't need a lot of make-up. Next thing we'll hear is that they're dragging you off for plasic surgery. I think most parents would be proud you weren't over doing the make-up and maybe looking 'tarty'.

my family is the same way. they want me to wear make-up, hate the way my hair looks, and are constantly telling me how to dress. this seems normal to me, because parents and grandparents have expectations of what a girl should be like, and want their own to be that way.

I wanna kick yer parental units faces off! They have no right to tell you what to be so... Excessively!!

No offense, but those two are TERRIBLE people. I have to deal with that crap when we see my grandma twice a YEAR and that's still too much. Move in with your boyfriend if you can. If you were younger I would tell you to call CPS for verbal and mental abuse

I don't wear make-up either and my mum is forever telling me I should. She wears a fair bit so she's always saying "Put on some lipstick or let me give you smokey eyes" It is so annoying so I totally sympathise with you on that front.
They probably think they are helping but they are going about it in entirely the wrong way, have you tried telling your parents that you find it hurtful? Also, your weight is healthy for your heightso you needn't worry about that. I'm sorry to hear that their comments are getting you down...it sounds like your parents are being really spiteful. Since your 18 is there any way you can leave home? Is there anyone at your college who you can share a flat with? Good luck!

What the hell is wrong with your parents? Wait till they're asleep and draw clown masks on them...alternately tell them to back off. Don't let ppl tell you what to do regarding your personal self confidence.

It's not normal, but some parents are like that. My family does the same thing. I always just ignore it and do what I want, respectively of course. I'd reason with them, telling them I'm confident with the way I look and I'm not hurting myself. So, there's nothing wrong with being myself. They eventually let up, but they'll just make comments like, "you are so weird", or start singing a random song I remind them of. So, now it's all playful teasing, which is kinda funny and better than the nagging they used to do. I guess once they realize your confident being you, they'll let up.

your mom is just unhappy i didnt do he lastnight
