My mom read my diary without permission!


 

Check these out, too...

  • What to do when your parents are worried about something big
  • Should I set up my sis with her crush?
  • I'm following Mom's no-makeup rule, but sis is sneaking it!
  • Oy vey! Am I allowed to have this crush?
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?
I have a big problem. My mom went through my diary and didn’t ask. I don’t want her going through my stuff. Help!
 
Dear Privacy Problem,
I don’t blame you for being upset. Keeping a diary is a great way to express thoughts and find your voice, and a diary should be for the writer’s eyes only. Here are three suggestions: 1) Hide your diary. 2) Be more open with your mom so she doesn’t feel she has to pry to learn more about your life. 3) Tell your mom she has raised you well and can trust you without invading your privacy. When a daughter gets into trouble, parents (understandably) feel more justified being nosey.

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

There is a guy at my church named Alex. I started liking him in early August after my mom pointed out we looked cute together. We are raising money for camp and I was baby sitting a kid. My crush came upstairs and talked to another boy, which I'm friends with. We bonded and he seemed pretty interested in our convo, but then the following Wednesday, he kept giving me a look and walked away. He did it multiple times and kept walking around where I was.
I keep seeing him follow me everywhere, yet he barely talks to me. I really like him, meaning I get weak in my knees and butterflies in my stomach. I know this is cliche' but, My heart skips a beat when I think about him or see him.
My mom says for him to make the first move, but I'm dying to talk to him, we've made small talk like Hi or something, but never a convo like at the banquet! So should I talk to him or should I let fate take it's course? Help!!

My parents can't accept the fact that I'm growing up. I posted in inside joke on twitter and they got so mad! They started talking about how anyone can see it but I just want them to chill out and accept that I'm a teenager-they should be thankful I don't smoke! What should I do? Thanks!

Hey girl, it's probs best to play it safe when it comes to social media.  You can still be yourself on Twitter, but tweeting responsibly is a great skill.  Not everyone who may look at your tweets will know that something is an inside joke, so it's good to keep that in mind.  Happy tweeting!

Sorry for bothering you but, my "friend" M told my crush (the one I miss) that I like him, and whenever I see him he is always staring at me and at lunch,he'll look to the side, and out of the corner of his eye, he looks at me. Also, I'll look at him and I see him turn away. Also M asked him if he liked me and she said he shrugged and blushed. Do you think he likes me??? Be honest I really want to know!!

 

Hey girlie, without asking him, no one can give you a definite answer. But it does sound like there's definitely a chance.

So, at school, I have a crush and I miss him. I know this may sound reallyyy corny but I do. I saw him today and still I miss him. Pleaseeee what should I do?

 

Hey girlie, it sounds like you need to find ways to spend more time with him. Talk to him as much as you can in school and maybe try to see each other outside of school. Flirt with him and see if he gives you any indication that he might like you too.
