Well, you could always try talking to them? biggrin Make new friends and all that, you might find you have things in common that you didn't realise that you did!

If you are set on getting out of their way though, I don't know what to tell you. My/their parents would always force us together to make merry and have good times, so when it comes to avoiding these things I've never been very good!

Booyaka!

Don't take this the wrong way, but you seem to have started out with a negative attitude. If you haven't seen your cousins since you were two, how do you know what they are like!? Perhaps you should make an attempt to get to know them a bit. After all, they are family!

I don't think you should worry to much, there family so your bound to have something in common with them no matter if you believe it or not. Your best bet is to find some common ground with them by doing your best to get to know them better. I have a cousin I rarely see, in total he's visited three time, but he's like my best friend because we had fun when we're together....poor Woody (toy story). xd

If you can try to show them to spots in town you like to visit or do stuff with them that you and everyone else enjoys. Maybe if nothing else works have a close friend or two to come over I'm sure it could work out, or make things worst....But think positive I'm sure whatever you do will work out alot better than you think.

How old was he in the vids?! You can't judge someone based on their actions as a child... I was a trouble maker as a kid, but I've mellowed out alot.

I say just give 'em a chance.

I agree that giving someone another chance (esp if you have not seen them in years) is a good thing to do...


However... I can see the other side to this as well. If they get to your place and seem no different just grab a book and keep to yourself. Try not to start anything, if they bother you just tell them you have a school project to work on or you need time to study.


Also, just try to be nice. you get more flies with honey. there is this really great invention out there... its called a little white lie. tell them they look nice/are funny/are cool... you never know how far a simple complement will get you.
