im 24year old girl.All my life ive never had my birthday celebrated except my father and his family always celebrates his birthday.I dont have anything against it and ive attended everyone of them but my parents are very well to do dont celebrate my birthday that means not cake big party many people not even a family get together going out for dinner or some place out of town.Even having a nice meal on my birthday has to be told.Same goes for my fathers family i wish everyone of them.They celebrate my fathers 56(not once thrice,gifts like brand new house,meals at expensive restaurants,grandfathers 90 uncles aunts cousins who come over to my place)except mine.My friends and man i love dont wish me on my birthday even after subtle reminding them.Im very upset since its not about wishing on birthday its a small gesture wishing me on my birthday its not like they do anything else since we are all long distance.Im not whining or selfish its just whenever i think about it i feel bad/sad.

I don't think your selfish at all. I don't understand why they wouldn't celebrate your birthday? Especially when they celebrate your dads? I guess if I were you next year I would make it a point not to say happy birthday to anyone. Don't attended your fathers birthday. If someone reminded you make it a point to say you don't wish anyone a happy birthday that's never wished you a happy birthday. I think it's complete rude when people expect their birthday to be remember but always forget when it someone else's. Your birth is just as important as anyone else's and if they can't even make an effort to say 2 little words then they sure don't deserve anything either!
and happy belated birthday whenever your birthday was!

I think you have every right to feel sad about not being recognized on your birthday. Next year (your 25th) throw yourself a BIG party and invite everyone. Tell them well in advance to save the date - so there are no excuses not to be there. Then every year after that maybe a smaller party for those family and friends close by. Just surround yourself with people who make you happy. Maybe even a new guy in your life who will remember all those little things in life we girls like.

Honey I wish you a very happy birthday for all the years that you didn't get one. and for all the years to come. I love you. Hugs kisses and baloons and cakes and presents and all the guests that you deserve. Again Happy birthday. I know how sad that must make you feel. You shouldn;t even have to remind someone that it is your birthday. Good luck on your Blessed day. May the Lord be with you always.

You know, that's not cool. If I were you, I would go out on my birthday, without telling anyone, and do something really exciting. Go skydiving or something. Just something you've only dreamt about. And, whenever you get back, (that is when you feel like it) and they ask where you've been, just smile, and say "I was really busy celebrating my birthday for the first time." and that it was great. LOL. You might get birthday wishes next time. :)

I understand you feel forgotten or unimportant when people you care about do not remember something like a birthday. It is just a day, more important is caring about them and them caring about you and you can show caring in many ways. Also, on your birthday, you might take them out to celebrate your special day and then they might get the idea that celebrating your birthday is important to you.

Treat yourself. Thats what I would do. I mean who knows what you want better than you do. Go out buy yourself something, pamper yourself if you wish, and what I enjoyed the most when I thought everyone forgot my b-day I called them and sang myself happy birthday and made them listen. Its really fun. Plus you get everything you want and nothing you dont.

You should tell your parents how you feel and if nothing happens you should try to talk to a conselor or some one outside your family. If it makes you feel any better, Happy Birthday for whenever it is!
