what to do if u have no privacy?

[RadicalDude]

Sue your parents

[Sarky]

You are 13 for crying out loud. You are under the care and control of your parents/guardians and as such have no privacy from them.

You do not have any legal remedy for this.

Have you tried just asking "Why do you have you little trust in me that you place me under this extreme surveilance?" If you and your parents see your grandparents, ask your grandparents in front of your parents whether they did anything like this to your parents when they were children.

I suppose you could threaten that if they keep this up you will go to the other extreme by leaving home and cutting off all contact with them once you are 18.

First, as a parent, let me say that I would never do this to my kid (my kid is older than you are now and never self destructed from lack of supervision). I have seen good kids become bad kids because they couldn't handle this sort of pressure.

I suggest that you let them hoist themselves with their own petard. Start making diary entries of horrible things that you couldn't possibly have done...meeting with Abdul to work on that bomb you've been building, prostituting yourself on the other side of town at times when you were in school, helping Sam dispose of a body, etc. The key is that they must be so outlandish that they couldn't possibly be true...for example, the meeting times must be while you were actually having dinner with your family, while you were hard at work in school, while you we at the movie theater with your mother. If you can arrange for some phony phone calls, all the better. Loan the tracking device to a friend who takes it miles from where you are (when you have a solid alibi) and then returns it. Accept any punishment for your "misdeeds" without complaint. The more they try to crack down on your imaginary life, the more ridiculous they'll look.

Do this for about a year if you can stand it, at least a few months if you can't. Then spring the trap. Complain to your counselor about the punishments you're getting and the bizarre offenses you're getting them for (making phony diary entries).

I guarantee it will make your parents reevaluate their smothering, overprotective ways.
