Intrusive mommy

My mom is trying to get into my myspace account, she’s tried hacking every profile on every site I’ve ever been on!I’m sick of it, I know shes doing it, because my computer tells me and she’s not very sneaky. I confronted her and she got all doe eyes and was like of course not! No why?’ so obvious. Im not hiding anything but it’s annoying. Like you wouldn’t read someones diary, well she would, just because everyone deserves privacy. I’m also wondering if she’s put camera up in our house. I don’t know what her deal is, I’m a pretty good girl, I’ve never lied to her, I dont give her reasons not to trust me. How do I make her stop? It’s intrusive and my friends are afraid to talk to me about their problems because she might see it and get them in trouble, she’s done that three times now. Help! I love emy mom but she’s got to back off.

Answer #1

Your mom is trying to watch out for you so you don’t get hurt while on the internet. She should really try to stay out of your myspace account and your other profiles you set up. You need to confront her about just how you wrote your question. She should understand. Buy yourself one of those security cameras and put it in your room and see if she’ll get the idea while kind of like being under surveillance . We all like our privacy. Just tell her how you feel and tell her that your not messing with sites that are harmful. I’m sure she knows you’re honest. Another thing you could do, set up a whole new password and make it hard for her. Set up a password only for you to remember. Talk to her, see what comes out of her. She might not want to be confronted, but, she needs to stay out of your personal business on the computer.

Answer #2

You need to talk to her and tell her that you’ve always been truthful to her and that you wouldn’t be doing anything on the internet that you shouldn’t be doing. (I hope not!) Tell her that as a teenager, you need privacy, and she needs to understand that you need your space. She needs to back off just a little bit and not worry so much. I understand her point of view as well. As a parent, it’s your mother’s responsibility to guide you through life and protect you from danger. (As a child) She’s just worried about you. If you’re not messing around with guys, and adding people you don’t know, she doesn’t need to try to hack your profiles. Maybe you two can come to an agreement; possibly your mother could create a profile to monitor your friends list without being invasive? Remember, you’ve got to respect your mom, and if she doesn’t want you on any website, don’t go on that site. Communication is key. :)

Answer #3

its not cus she dosnt trust you its most likley not trusting othere on there. Do you here what happens on myspace, eleven year old are being raped and people are being killed, because people lie on there, so shes trying to keep you okay not pissed off and I love myspace I have one too but thats how I know that this stuff you hear is true.

Answer #4

I would talk with her and tell her exactly how you feel. it can be hard sometimes, but I would tell her just how you just wrote it, but in a nicer way ;)

Answer #5

Put a pass word on your file so she cant get on your computers account, and search your room if you think she put a camera up, or put your own camera up and see what shes doing on you computer.
