You are asking why, do your Parents eaves drop on your phone Conversations? First of all Parents, should not be so nosy when it concerns their kids, Second of all, if they think you are doing something wrong they should at least point blank tell you if you have something to say to them. They were the ones who raised you so, they should know what kind of Daughter they have.If you feel like they do not trust you, why don't you ask them in a nice way if, they think you are doing something you are not supposed to be doing to ask you and you will gladly tell them what they want to know. I raised seven kids who are now Married and with families of their own, and I knew my kids when they were hiding something from me and I would asked them that if there was something they wanted to tell me, to go ahead that I would not get angry but, would try to understand and they usually did. From then on there was not a problem with any of them. I respected their privacy, because if there is no trust between parents and kids they will never solve anything or any problem that arises.

Well, have you given them any reason to distrust you? If so, then I would say you need to work on that. If not, then either they are just being concerned parents who really love you, OR they are just being too nosey. Depending on your age, possibly you can talk with them about it and see if they would be willing to give you a little privacy when you are on the phone. Sounds to me like there is a little battle of wills going on at your home and unfortunately, as long as you are living in your parents' home, you must live by their rules. Hopefully they will be open enough though to give you some slack if you haven't given them any reason to not trust you.

Because you kids have too many secrets and that is not good. Some parents (NOT ME) will listen to conversations thinking it is the only way to know the truth. Trust is earned and if your parents are listening to your conversations, then you have not earned it and might want to think about why they don't trust you? Have you been open and honest? or, are you one of those hide everything, lie about everything and get away with everything teens? If you are that teen then I would be that parent who is listening to your calls too. Its called caring about you.
Sincerely,

They want to know what's going on and instead of asking you, they feel they have to be sneaky and find out for themselves. But hello, they are paying the phone bill most likely.

Because they feel that you are trying to hide something from them. I am thinking that you have given them a reason to feel that they can't trust you. Parents.......as annoying as they are...
really only want their kids to be safe.

because they are concerned about your safety and well-being. Doesn't make it right, though - ask them to stop eavesdropping, if you promise to tell them more about what's going on in your life, introduce them to your friends, etc.
I'd be surprised if they can understand much of what you talk about, if you always use such netspeak and poor grammar.

they are just concerned about you. have you done anything to have them not trust you? Talk to them about it. You should have some sort of privacy.

Because it's their phone, they pay for it, and they can. It's their right to parent you and know what you are up to.
Why are you doing things you should not be and then talking on the phone about it?
