I really have a feeling that my step brother and his friend have hooked up a secret camera in my room. I know, it sounds crazy but you would have to know them to know why I feel like this. I feel like I have no privacy in my room. How can I know if there really is a camera in my room and what are the signs to look for in having one in your room? I want to confront my mom about it but I want to know for sure before I talk to anyone about it!

Search your room thoroughly. You may just be paranoid (though I'm not saying you don't have reason to be, I don't know these guys). If there is a camera in your room, you'll know it when you see it. If there isn't, you should probably go to your mom anyway.

When I say go to your mom, I don't mean accusing your step-brother of anything. Maybe you should just explain to her that you don't feel like you have a lot of privacy. If there is a specific reason that you're feeling this way, maybe you should tell her. As long as you try to stay calm and reasonable about it, talking about how YOU FEEL and without accusing your step-brother of any wrong-doing... Well, I think your mom will probably listen more carefully and try to work with you to reach a solution.

I suspect the problem might be... Are you afraid he's going in there when you're not around? If so, maybe you could ask your mom if she would buy a lock with a key for your bedroom door. These are fairly inexpensive and easy to install. She would probably be more comfortable with that idea if you suggested that she keep a copy of the key somewhere safe, just in case she needs to get in your room for whatever reason. You may even want to tell her that, as long as your home, you'll keep the door unlocked, only locking it when you leave the house.
