I have two giddy, female, younger teenage cousins around my age who decide to entertain themselves at family gatherings by taking apart my room for a diary. Before you all ask and joke, I am a girl with a male Avatar because I find that people more readily accept men in these online commuties. Well, instead, they found a Psychology Today magazine about the Nature of Attraction. The cover can be considered sexual. And, being teenage girls with no sexual experiance, you would have thought from the giggles they had found a porn stash. Of course that's been hidden away, but not before they read the first page of my diary. This 'search-for-the-diary' has gone on for too long.
What am I to do? I really don't want to get my parents involved; they have enough to do. And because of my...size...I have vowed never to use it against someone unless I really have to. And they're too immature to hear my protests. My parents disapprove of locking bedroom door. And its sad that I can't trust them.

privacy can be very hard to keep sometimes. the on line journal idea is a good one, but if you're like me and would rather write in you journal, I understand. It's a shame you can't get your parents involved. one thought that crossed my mind was to threaten them saying if they do not knock it off, you will get you parents and their parents involved. Privacy is an extremely important thing for you to have...it's almost like not being able to trust your self when it's broken. another idea was to get an old book that you don't mind trashing and one they won't be interested in, and glue the pages together and cut out a section in the middle to store your journal, like from the movies. good luck with whatever route you take and I hope they learn they're lesson. always remember the golden rule:'treat others how you would expect to be treated"But I also think in some cases treating people how they treat you so they know what it feels like, can go a long way.

I have two younger sisters who have decited to do the same thing to me how about getting a "lock box" a drawer you can lock up mabey something that keeps your magazines and diary in it I dont think your parents should have a problem with that because your not locking up your whole room and sit down with the girls and tell them because you are a young adult you need your privacy and if they dont respect your privacy you are going to search there rooms and go threw there goodies. I'm just kidding but explain to them how you do need your privacy and you have started locking your personal stuff because they are to immature to deal with anything.

So are you wondering if you should tell your parents about your cousins breaking into your room? Are you worried about the psychology magazine and what they will say about it, or are you just worried that they will eventually find something else (like the diary)? And what do you mean by ....'size'.....?
Anyway, if you are wondering if you should tell your parents about them, I would say yes. It sounds like you don't really have anything to hide in there (and if you do, it is hidden really well), so I would just tell them that you don't appreciate people going through your stuff and violating your personal space. Tell them that it's not aboutthe stuff that's in the room, it's about the fact that you just don't feel comfortable with people thrashing up your room.
Hope that helps! And hopefully someday your cousins will learn to respect your privacy!

i had someone once trying his best to dig up dirt on me talking to my exgirlfriends and any one who knew me and at times he even tried spying on me all this was over a female. i couldnt stop him so what i did was turn his curiosity against him i fed through the grape vines mis information which i later gave it a name ( product of misinformation) with at telling anyone what your up to get another diary and make it look real ie... put normal stuff in there except for two or three pages make sure the dates you add the juicy stuff on are dates you can prove your where abouts... like the day you and mom went to the movies or mall on that date right somthing in there that you know for sure they will use agianst you do this with only a few days as not to alarm any one that this is the counterfit book..... when mom or dad find out via the grape vine ask to speak to them alone with out anyone around and tell them what you did bring the other book in and show them and mom and dad will not only be amazed at your handling this but also will be all up in your cousins butt.... good luck

well if you cant have your own private room then you need to save some money & buy a safe to put all your private things into there not too dear or maybe a vanity case they also lock. then if they nosy around again tell there parents.or hide your case or safe in your parents room they may not look in there. good luck.

Keep your diary somewhere else. Put in a locker at school or maybe in the attic. Surely you find somewhere else to put it. As far as for the noisy 2, take a club and knock them in the head. lol

Lock your door whether your parents disapprove or not! You have a right to privacy!

obviously you have internet access. why not just get an online journal and set the entries to private?
that way, they won't have to go searching threw your room for hard evidence

I think you should just tell them that they you are no longer going to tolerate their behavior. If they are that young and immature, telling them that you won't speak to them or have anything to do with them at all might be enough.if this doesn't work, tell their parents, if that doesn't work tell yours, they will understand. If that doesn't work, use your size anyway.
