ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

My mom read my diary without permission!


 

Check these out, too...

  • What to do when your parents are worried about something big
  • Should I set up my sis with her crush?
  • I'm following Mom's no-makeup rule, but sis is sneaking it!
  • Oy vey! Am I allowed to have this crush?
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?
I have a big problem. My mom went through my diary and didn’t ask. I don’t want her going through my stuff. Help!
 
Dear Privacy Problem,
I don’t blame you for being upset. Keeping a diary is a great way to express thoughts and find your voice, and a diary should be for the writer’s eyes only. Here are three suggestions: 1) Hide your diary. 2) Be more open with your mom so she doesn’t feel she has to pry to learn more about your life. 3) Tell your mom she has raised you well and can trust you without invading your privacy. When a daughter gets into trouble, parents (understandably) feel more justified being nosey.

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.
