life help: I’m so depressed and I need help. - Help.com

I’m so depressed and I need help.

My parents are always trying to find out who I’m texting. I really hate it. I don’t like them knowing about my personal life. If someone is harassing me I will tell them. There is no need for them to know who I am texting. I already posted this but I need to post this again. Hardly anyone responded.

I don’t try to intrude my daughters’ life. I think it’s wrong. Try talking to someone at school about it.

My parents are like that themselves, I guess it’s just because they’re concerned about us for some reason. =/ I used to be kinda vague about it, but then I started saying, oh, so and so’s texting me. He’s wanting to know how such and such went. I just gave up about them asking me questions every five minutes. Maybe you could try not texting in front of them so much or just tell them you’re texting friends?

They can see who I’ve been texting and what I said online

That’s not even fair! I guess the only option there is to be careful who and what you text and all or just call people. Unless they have that rigged too! ;-)

write it down on paper and give it to them. You’ll have several attempts at getting the wording right

Perhaps the reason they ask is because you don’t talk to them. I’m not saying you have to tell them everything but whats so wrong with giving them a little bit of infrormation now and again so they feel included and won’t worry so much. I have a 17 year old niece she doesn’t tell her mum everything but her mum isn’t always hassleing her for information because she talks to her mum
