I think my parents went through my purse! I came home last night and my purse was on my bed and it was opened! I feel violated, and hurt because i dont know why they would feel the need to do that. should i wait it out..because maybe if they went through my purse then they would talk to me about it soon? or should i confront them? if it ends up they didnt look through it they would think im paranoid and think i mmight have something to hide right?

You need to talk with them. Maybe you've been shutting them out latley? Not saying you have but maybe they are feeling a little left out of what's going on with you.As a result they may wonder if there could be a reason...besides just being a teenager!
Just have a talk.Tell them you found your purse opened and that's not how you left it.Do have have brother or sisters? They could be the culprits as well. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
sweet_heart answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 12:33 pm: i ask them nicely, like
"Did you guys look through my purse, because i found it open on my bed."
somthing like that. If they did you can talk to them about it and if they didn't hunt down your brother or sister (if you have one) lol
good luck hun [ sweet_heart's advice column | Ask sweet_heart A Question ]

h.i.h. and good luck! [ ShYbl0nD3's advice column | Ask ShYbl0nD3 A Question ]

Say that someone has been through your purse and its invading your privacey!
Crystal_Moon answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 11:05 am: I would blow it off, if they didn't find anything it probably gave them the peace of mind that they needed and they would probably not do it again. Yes it is a violation of your privacy, but parents will be parents and they are good at snooping around, so I wouldn't make an issue, because they just might think you are trying to hide something.

LoveNJstyle answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 9:40 am: calmly ask them to please not go through your things. if they need to check anything if theyre questioning your behavior, they should ask you first and you will let them. (not saying that u actually will...make them feel like they can do somethin) <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
