This could be down to you being in the perspective camera. (shortcut [P]) try going into orthographic if you are having trouble selecting things acuratly (shortcut [U])

Hope this is a simple fix for your problem.
Cheers,
John

You didn't say what display mode you are using. For example, in Wireframe you need to select objects along their edges.  This can make selecting overlapping objects easier.  You could always hide background geometry if it isn't temporarily needed. And then there's always the Select by Name option.
