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.

Have I was just wondering is it good to keep a diary?

hey girl! I'm not exactly sure what you mean...I guess it's really up to you is what I'm saying! Some girls love keeping diaries, and some girls don't. It can be a useful way to vent your thoughts and feelings, or to just get ideas down.

@Allison31 I know how you feel. All of my friends do that to, to make matters worse, they all have rich moms who let them get there legs waxed and were boat loads of makeup. So ya me and my twin sis Bella stick out like sore thumbs.

I have a great mom, love her a TON, but she won't let me do what most girls do. Example: shaving or wearing heels more then 2 inches high. I'm 12, and most of my friends are doing both. My mom thinks shaving (the legs BTW) will make my legs hairier. (I've read a report on the news that it isn't true!) I have tried to convince her that the rumor isn't true but it just won't work... I have had some people make fun of me because I have hairy legs or my shoes are "sooooo" outdated.
Help??

I feel like my parents need to respect my privacy sometimes. Is it wrong to have a notebook to write in about your feelings?
