Addicted to invading privacy
For as long as I can remember, I've been addicted to invading others privacy. Deep down, I know it's wrong but it's hard to stop. I've read conversations between my sister and her then boyfriend, hacked into family members facebook accounts to find out what they're saying about me, stalked both of my sisters blogs just to check on them, read their diaries, etc. I recently told my sister this and she's furious with me, which she has every right to be. I'm so angry with myself for letting myself be that impulsive. I feel horrible and like a huge jerk. How can I stop this habit for good? I've never heard of other people having this problem before.

I'm not a doctor and I am certainly not a psychologist or psychiatrist so I could be wrong in what I'm seeing in the little you have written.
What I see may have started as more nosey than paranoid that has turned into an obsessive compulsion. You are now acknowledging this compulsion ands asking for help. This is the first step in the right direction.
It is very possible you may have an obsessive compulsive disorder and this is how it manifests itself. As I said I'm not qualified to make that kind of diagnoses. What I do know is if what I feel is correct you going to need some help in controlling this behavior.
Before I send you off to your parents to ask for help I would like you to call a hotline set up for kids just like you. It is called the kids help line. The number is 1-800-668-6868. Anyone under 20 can call them and speak to a train counselor about anything. The call is free and totally confidential.
They also have a website you may want to look at. The web address is: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

You are being paranoid which is causing you too snoop around.
You stop by acknowledging the wrong, How would you feel if someone intruded on something that was private too you? Everyone is entitled to their privacy, To snoop around will only cause people to not trust you. In the end, It has no benefits. It is catty, dishonest and hurtful to invade others privacy because you feel the want to know everything.
You fix the problem, You are already on the right track by acknowledging the wrong. Put yourself in their shoes....Your biggest secret was revealed because someone decided to intrude on your privacy. Stop hacking facebooks that don't belong too you, Stop reading diaries. Not everything is about you or are even talked about you. Being impulsive upon others privacy isn't something you want people to remember you by, So there you change.
