My mom read my diary without permission!

Check these out, too...

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.

MOD MOD MOD MOD So my dad works at a health food store (actually he's always worked at a health food store as long as I can remember) and so my parents are pretty strict about what I eat and what kind of makeup and beauty products I use. I'm rebelling a little bit when it comes to those things though. My mom and dad are probably right most products do have bad products in them but I really just wanna try them! My parents won't buy them for me and I'm broke right now I have like $7 which is not enough. I wanted this sunscreen lotion buy Hawaiian Tropic that smells so good, it's smells like the best coconut scent ever! But the answer was no. I don't know what to do! I'm going to Hawaii for a month this summer and so I was planning to save the one my mom got me and buy the Hawaiian Tropic one for the pool.

Hey girl. I wouldn't suggest going against your parents rules. If they advise you not to buy certain sunscreens or makeups, then your parents probably have full insight on why these products aren't as good for you as other brands. Plus, if you buy the products your parents dissaprove of, they might get mad and then you won't be able to have a great time in Hawaii! So although it may be a pain at times, listen to their advise and follow their rules. They only have what is best for you in mind!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!! my mom needs to take me to get a clear strapped bralette for dance and last recital when she was helping me pack my stuff she said oh and your bralettes are here which was kind of embarassing because it was infront of my dad! its not that big of a deal but how do i kindly ask her to keep these things more private like maybe come in my room with just me where she can say where everything is without me getting emmabrassed?! and how do i get the courage i dont want it to be awkward me and my mom are really close! p.s. i barley had the courage to write this and send it!!!!!! eek (sorry for the long letter)

Hey girl. I would suggest pulling your mom aside one day and just letting her know that all of the changes you're going through can be a little embarassing for you and that you want to keep that stuff just between you and her. Speaking to your mom calmly and nicely will let her know that you want "girl talk" to just stay between you two and that it's something you want to remain private. Good luck in your dance recital!
