How to tell your parents you want privacy?

Dear sk8rgirl,

As always I believe that the best things in life are the ones we don’t understands…PARENTS are a great example of not understanding some thing wonderful…they are your parents yes, but they are also REGULAR PEOPLE too and so they are going to mess up now and then we All DO..OVER and OVER some less then others and then some more then others…it depends it is not that we mess up that matters it is how we deal with it.

If you MOther is going through your things then she is mostly worried about you,…she may not trust you or she might be PARINOID ( you never really no). Have you given her repeated reason not to trust you? IF so that is mostly why she is doing that if not…well she is being a Mom and they will do that is they are worried or freaking out..odd…really but it is how they are…funny thing is you will be in her shoes one day…try and look at it that way.

Ah Boy issues..welll being 15years old you shouldn’t have a hole lot of them…any type of relationship you have mostly will not last…past high school if even all the way through it…I can still understand you wantting to talk to some one about it..however if your parents do give you a reply like that do not take it personally…men don’t mature till they are like 26 if you ask me and then even then they need help…Women mature a lot faster though…when it comes to talking to parents just tell them that you need to talk to them and you would liek to do that more tell them you want a closer relationship I think they will get that…ummm or write a letter if you do not feel like talking to them.

The onlyother thing is you are 15years old…trust me on this I am seventeen very soonto be 18years old and do you know how many things I held at value at 15 that I do now…Only Two God and my Family everything else changed…as I got older my prioritys are a lot different my opinon on my now…welll that is pretty much the same. I am loving being single too. Less stress and a lot more fun…more time to focus on things I care about that I know wil last too.

Being a teenager sucks though you go through a lot of emotions and transituions as you get older just about everything changes…you are only seeing a small picture of it right now but trust me it all changes.

Well good luck

Dear sk8rgirl_noggin20, Your mother is going through your stuff because she feels she can’t trust you? Try to think of something that you did or said that may have created some suspicion…broke curfew, spoke with someone you shouldn’t of had, spend the night out with boyfriend? These things tend to make a parent crazy. She may be treating you like 4 because you are behaving like 4? We all have rules to follow and when we break rules we have to take the consequences. Another think is you are the only girl and you will be over protected by your brothers and your family for the most part of your life. It may not seem fair but as you get older you will understand and even be very glad for it. Sue…good luck

JUST SAY YOU HAVE PRIVACY. I NEED IT JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE
