it's not bad enough that my dad has a key to my bedroom (which i finally got back) or that he has been going through my e-mails (i changed my password) but my parents of been going through my trash???
they are very wierd :-s i through away some pages of my journal (it is kinda embarassing so i am not saying what was on them) and my mom and dad confronted me about what i had writen and my mom said "when it's in the trash its fair game." please who says that?!? why are they prying into my personal life like this?
i dont have a job and i dont go to school anymore, i am 17 and i droped out of school (only because my mom told me too) and i tell my parents everything, my parents and i have an open relationship, why dont they trust me, why do they feel the need to pry into my life? just because i didnt tell them that i was keeping a journal or share some private feelings with them, why do they think they need to know these things?

Only thing I can say is get back into school and find something to do with your time and give them something eles to think about. Or you need to find a job and move out on your own because they have a right to go through you stuff because you live in their house doing nothing but living there. It sounds like you must have done something to make them distrust you because parents don't do things without reason.

Omg i so get you.. my mom is just like that! Exept mabey worse.. I dont have a lock on my door, and i also am 17. She reads my emails, deleted my myspace, checks my drawers, checks my back pack, she wont let me go over to my friends houses, if i go to the movies she calls me every 30 minutes, she is very strict about boys, and im sick of it! Some things I can understand why she would check, but i need SOME privacy, were almost adults..

Why in the world would your mom want you to drop out of school?!?! That's completely irresponsible. If it's the particular school, go to another, get your diploma and then try to live your life again. I then suggest moving when you have the money.
However, I suggest you rationally talking to your parents about it. Show them that you want to do something with your life and just get back on your feet.

first I want to say thank you for sharing your age- 17. Well it sounds like your parents dont want you to grow up. Even your mother suggesting that you dropout of school is part of her controlling you, you not having a job, is that because they dont want you to? That too would be controlling. What do you do all day? I think that you need to find someone that you trust, like grandparents, aunts, uncles or a good friends parents and have a good talk with them. You need someone there that you can trust and you need to get your GED. It is time that you grew up and took care of yourself, sounds like no one else is going to.

I am so sorrry that your going through this. First you need to have a serious sit down with them. Don't yell or start of by blaming everything on them just tell them that you need to talk to them about how you feel. make sure you tell them your feeling and that you feel that they don't trust you and you would like alittle privacy. Tell them what you feel.
then ask them what they think
Now this might not go perfect they may tell you that its their house and they can dowhatever they want so you might just have to play by their rules, Get back into school a, graduate and get to college and finally have your own place but untill then your going to have to put up with there crap.
remeber the bible says you should be obidient to your parents in union with the lord, for this is rightous-ephisians 6;1
I'm not trying to go all riligious on you but it really does make life easier.
hope everyhting goes well

Your parents sound like they are very overprotective, did your mom tell you to drop out of school just so you would stay home and they could keep an eye on you?

My parents don't know a thing about me.They don't know who I like, what music I listen to, how badly their divorce has hurt me, the number of times I've considered suicide, I'm surprised they know my shoe size!(to tell you the truth, I'm not sure they do)Your parents have no right to do that! You should burn your journal pages.Your parents should back off, you are almost an adult!

I can understand you have a LOT of problems. Try suicide. Or, go back to school! What kind of crazy parents do you have!??? You'll end up working at Burger King. Don't let that happen. Try.

Gee, you're 17, living at home, no job, no school. What do you do? If you don't want your parents being involved in your life, get a job, get an apartment and move out. My suspicion is that they are extremely concerned that you have no purpose in life and are afraid that you are involved in something bad. They are checking up on you because they are concerned for your welfare.
