One way to get around this is to isolate your subject by holding your hand or putting a piece of paper behind your subject. Press the shutter release half way down and let it focus on your subject. Once you have the proper focus, without letting go of the shutter release, remove your hand or paper and take the picture.
Find in your manual the focus modes and where to access them on your camera and reply to this thread with the kind of camera you have and list the different modes of focus for your specific camera.
Spend the week with your camera manual and camera and learn how to use the different focus modes and get to a point you don't have to consult the manual on how to access them and can readily switch focus modes specific to what you are shooting. Try shooting the same subject using all the modes and see if there is any difference.
