Well its your Mom's house so when it comes to your privacy that sounds like it won't happen. Some Mom's always find things no matter how you try to hide them. You say,"Telling her not to look in doesn't work either." How about not, "telling" your Mom but sitting down with her and lovingly, "talk" to her about how you feel and that you would really appreciate some privacy. Telling and talking to someone are completely different. Your tone of voice may be adding fuel to the fire. And you can get farther ahead by being a loving daughter that wants to write her secrets in her notebook. Here is an ice breaker, how about asking your Mom if she had a special notebook when she was your age. Also, how about buying Mom a gift of her own special notebook that matched yours. Make it more about you both loving one another instead of, MOM DON'T LOOK IN MY BOOK! ITS MY PROPERTY NOT YOURS! And just lower the tone and talk to her like a person. You will see it will do wonders if you do. Be patient with your Mom she probably would like some privacy too.

No matter what you say if your mom is nosy then she is gonna look. My daughter kept a journal and I did not look at until after she moved away. Our relationship was very shaky at the time and it did help me to understand what was happening with her at the time.
She is grown now and still keeps a journal (and has moved back home with me) I DO NOT read her private business because of respect for her.
Since you are probably not going to get your mom's respect for privacy then I would suggest a lock box and keep the key on you at all times.

you have the right to have some things private, but if you are doing things that she feels could hurt you, then she is going to keep looking in it, or if you have given her a reason not to trust you, she is going to keep looking in it. so, have you done either of them? if you have not done something that would cause her to snoop. then i suggest hiding it some place she would never think to look. don't hide it in your room, that's the first place she is going to look.do you have pictures hanging in the house? well when you can take the book and tape it behind one of them. good luck!!

I have a little diary too and i suspect my moms read through it. if its really private take it with you to school keep it everywhere you go. in any case talk to her about it. if all else fails get another one that will look plain and boring but at least she wont look in it. it sounds like youre a writing person and it helps you to express your thoughts in writing. dont give that up. just keep it with you and talk to your mom.

Get another notebook or Hide it....
maybe you could tell her to respect your privacy and get her own damn book to look in?!!?

You cant 'make' your parents respect your privacy. Maybe you can keep it with you or keep it in your locker at school instead of at home.

keep it on your person whenever you go anywhere. If you dont want to do that, then I suggest putting it somewhere outside of the house.

They're being responsible parents. They have the right to do it whether you think they do or not.
Just a thought but don't use it as your diary. Especially if she knows you do.

Get another one and write phony things in the one she knows about. Don't hide the phony one deep.
