Player1 Perhaps I can help you....
Depending on how long you've been studying the piano, I don't think it should matter to you at this point, about the relative minor aspect. Just learn your scales, and more importantly, the proper fingering for each. Hopefully, the books you are working on have lessons that progress gradually, starting with easier keys, like C major, which should give you the opportunity to observe the visual, and therefore, audible, relationships between the keys, the notes of the scale, the spacing (intervals), and what those notes sound like when played together, resulting in chords. And, if you keep at it, you will eventually see the similarities in every scale and how it works with a given key signature. Although, this may not be very important for quite a while. What is important is that you shouldn't get hung up on terminology or theory, to the point where it interferes with learning, and progressing, no matter how gradually. Over time, depending on how dedicated you are to learning the piano, and in turn however much music theory you need to progress, things that seem complicated now will become clear. A year from now, you'll look back at this and smile.
