I think my mom read my diary...?

Question

I write a lot of personal things in my diary! I wrote about a guy I liked, who's in grade 11. I also wrote about the type of guys I like. Well, today, I was with my mom, my aunt and my cousin in the car, and my mom started saying, "I think she's in love, look at her. And I know the type of guys she likes, she doesn't like the type of guys like her brother's friends, I think she'd rather date someone more smart" I practically wrote the same thing in my diary! Then after that she told me that grade 11 isn't a big age gap for me. She also starting saying how personal I am, and told my aunt that I probably write about my crushes in my DIARY.

What do you think? Please don't give me a "how would we know" answer. Moms, do you think it's right to read through your daughter's journal?!

Answer 1

It really depends, while I respect your right to privacy sometimes a mom's only choice is to read a diary.
Have you ever done anything that would give your mom a reason not to trust you?
Are you doing things that a mom would worry about? How are you acting around your brother's friends?
If your not doing anything that would worry your mom then she shouldn't have read your diary & I can understand how mad you are right now.
Try keeping your diary some where it's not easily seen. If you have another episode like the one you described above, take a deep breathe and talk to your mom about it. Tell her how you feel about her reading your journal and ask her not to do it again. But when you talk to her be very calm and don't start yelling about things. Good Luck!

Answer 2

The only way you can know is to ask your mom. Ask her if she had gone through your room and read anything personal lately. If she gives you some bogus answer, then ask her why she knows personal things about you. Even if you know that she did, if you ask her, it'll show that what she did was wrong and an invasion of your privacy. Also, DON'T go ballistic, it'll just show her that you're immature and that she'll need to read more of your journal, thinking that you need protection and/or your hiding something serious and she needs to know what it is. That's just how moms are. Just tell her calmly that you think that was really inappropriate and that you, as a youth need your privacy and freedom of expression and by reading your journal, she took that away from you. Also just make sure that your journal is kept safe where only you know where it is. God luck on this.

Answer 4

keep your diary in your locker at school, and write in it at study hall or something. when u get a car someday, u can keep your diary locked up in your car, and make entries in it when u are all alone. dont sweat ur mom reading ur diary. i think its cool that she cares enough about u to want to snoop, and find out things about u that u wouldnt tell her. anyways, she deserves to know things about u that ur scared to tell her, because shes your mom, and u should have enough respect for her to be ok with her reading your diary once in a while. in fact, i think u should point out certain entries to her at times, and just hand it to her, and let her read. she would enjoy that. there is also a hidden bonus to this idea; it will increase her trust in you!!!! (i.e. she will give you more priviledges, a later curfew, all kinds of neat stuff!). good luck, and do everything i said.

Answer 5

I think it's not cool... maybe you need a lock and to keep it with you so no one could get in there... my mom would NEVER go into my diary, it's a place where you can write anything and everything and you expect respect to your privacy... i'm sorry that's not cool at all

Answer 6

It's definitely NOT cool for your mom to be reading your diary. If it were me, I'd ask her if she's been reading your diary. Or you could wrap a hair around it and if it's broken you know someones been reading it.

Answer 7

umm woh! I would defintly agree with you there! I think you should get a diary with a lock or something if you want to still keep a diary. And my step sisters a mom I dont think she would go through Lola's diary. So yeah I think she did go through it and it is SO wrong to go through it!

Answer 8

That's a bit frustrating. When someone read my diary, i felt so violated. I hated it. Try keeping it somewhere really secret next time (like a sock drawer or an old showbox.)

Answer 9

it isn't okey because u are kind of old now to have your mom looking at your stuff ask her if she did and keep your diary somewhere all ways with you I keep my diary in my big purse and I fill it with things on top of it so she doesn't look at it

Answer 10

I'm a mother of 3 girls, though they are very young now, when they get older i sure will read their diaries. i was once a young teen who thought i knew what life was about, i thought i was soo smart and i know now that if my mom knew half of what i was doing she would have stopped me and maybe i wouldn't have made as many life altering mistakes as i did. rule of thumb #1 as long as you live under her roof, you have no privacy rights. rule of thumb #2 don't write anything down you don't mind everyone knowing.
