My mom gives me absolutely NO privacy!! She checks everyhing - meaning she'll listen in on my phone calls, and she asks EVERYTHING! I don't mind, because I tell her EVERYTHING anyways. But I draw the line when she demands to know my computer passwords! She even goes through my GARBAGE to look at old school papers and read notes from my friends! She goes through my purse and everything. Other than my cell phone, I don't have ANYTHING she doesn't check. I'm 15, if she asks something, I'll tell her. Isn't it my right to atleast be able to have my own screen name without her being able to get on it?? It would be so embarrassing if a friend IMed me and was saying something personal to me and my mom read it! And I'll change my password so she can't get in, but she demands it! What do I do? I try to reason w/ her nicely and say stuff like "Well I tell you everyhing anyways, can't i atleast have SOME space?" & she flips out!!

Your mom is really over protective. It's awesome that your mom cares and loves you but you really do need some privacy. Sometimes my mom would read the conversations I have with my friends online, but that is only when I leave the computer on. Anyways, even though she is your mother she shouldn't be doing that. Did you do something to make her not trust you anymore? Instead of yelling and saying I need privacy!! you should really "talk" with your mom about this. You can also tell your dad or gaurdian and talk to them about thing. Do things that would make your mom trust you. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
