Do you have anything to hide? If not, then you shouldn't be worried.
If you do, then your parents have a legitimate reason for doing what they did.
Also, they have every right to do so... my guess is that they bought the computer and they pay for the internet.
Being open is the best way to gain their trust so that they leave you alone!

Privacy and security is very important, I put a lot of effort into securing my computer. Everyone has something to hide, and life is not meant to be transparent. BL4CKB3L7_F41RY, if you truly have nothing to hide, then I challenge you to publish your browsing history every day. If you're not comfortable with that, secure your computer; with your computer unsecured you're letting anyone see it.
On websites I use random characters as passwords, like:
BZ1vVl.HX?%D
These are hashed from a master password(which I use for nothing else) and the name of the site. For passwords where I don't have access to a hasher, I've memorized a series of passwords that I use. Some are longer than others, and I use a 20-digit password(composed of uppercase/lowercase, numbers and special characters) on really important things. If you do your passwords the same way I do, even if someone has access to your account, they can't do anything because you have different passwords for everything.
Windows security is very poor. It's crazy easy to break into an account, using the administrator account or a recovery service like this:

Never rely on Windows to secure your account!
If you want to see what they are doing, you can download a keylogger. This has the unfortunate side effect of recording everything you do, too. I recommend "actual keylogger":
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Remember to turn it on before you leave the computer, or set it to run on startup.
Good luck!

well you can't really do anything about it right now, but the best thing would be to catch them later on. Maybe try a password that is super hard to remember. Like your school locker combination, lunch pin number, favorite movie etc.
Also, i've found it really cool to change some of the letters into numbers. like the E in a word could be a 3 ,and an A could be a 4 ETC.
you can even try to hide a camera somewhere near and record it when you are off the computer to catch them.
