Parents Invading Privacy?

[BanoffeePie]

Firstly, how old are you? I think that is really important when answering this type of question.

When you become a teenager you develop your own character and you start learning about who you are and develop an identity. So this type of behaviour can be really intrusive and annoying. But they are still your parents and have the right to protect you. Have you done something recently that would make them think you are untrustworthy? Such as staying out later than usual? It still doesn't excuse the behaviour totally but I would understand if that was the case.

If you have done something out of character recently then your parents will eventually stop invading your privacy once they trust you again which may take some time. If you have done nothing on the other hand you do need to think of a mature way to handle the situation. You could do this by getting your parents together and explaining that you are getting upset with them going through your things. Let them know you love them and appreciate them protecting you but say that you feel it's getting a bit excessive. Say you are getting good grades and have good friends but you don't feel like you are getting rewarded for this behaviour by their actions. Then make a compromise with them. You could negotiate a few things that your parents can check such as facebook but some things you would like to keep to yourself such as your belongings.
