Keeping my parents out!

Post Reply New Topic

Ok, hopfully i can get some good replies from this topic, i know my parents check my computer and room every now and then, because i have my ways of keep track of things, but it's not enough i need to keep them out. Any ideas on how to keep parents out of my room, i can handle the computer ( i know some scray codes to pull on them), but i haven't found anything to keep them out of my room. I can't screw, nail, plaster, or mount anything along my door, already tried that and got in to some bit of trouble for it, im running low on ideas. Please any and all are greatfully appreciated!

and why i want to keep them out, well im done trying to cope and deal with there ilogical rules, i'll listen to them else where, but this my room, my "sanctuary".

I wish I had some ideas, I'm fed up of people coming into my room uninvited. This is my place, not theirs.

I hereby declare de facto independance from the rest of the house, no, the rest of the country.

Yeah, they mean good my parents, but they dont need to look at my room, computer, or what i write. I promise theres no "WMD's" in my room

what ever you can think of, chances are you parents can figure a way in. There were you age once too and know all the tricks.

that being said....

prop door closed with chair and always use window as you way in or out.

stuff a lot clothes and stuff at the bottom so its harder to open.

tell you parents you enjoy your privacy and would prefer they not snooping in your room.

super glue the hinges ( and again only use the window)

secretly switch rooms with a sibling or the family dog ( hey, how many time do you see you parents snooping in the pets area)


Over all your best bet is to tell them you would rather your room be private and ask them not to enter it unless they really need to. Odds are they'll reject the idea, but then they'll know how you feel and might invade less.

Yeah i think my parents forgot what they said when we first moved in, i made sure to keep this in memory, "This is your room, you can do all of your stuff in here, not in mine or your sisters!". I like loop wholes

I second that

Who owns (or makes mortgage or rent payments on) the house? Do you pay rent on your room? Who buys your food? If you are a minor, someone is legally responsible for your physical well-being as well as your behavior. If all these things were up to me, I would feel justified in keeping an eye on you, too.

Maybe your folks check your computer to be sure you aren't communicating with some anonymous stranger who might rape and murder you.

I agree with you. My door is always closed. Except for the dog stay out. My mt said I should make a keep out sign for when I need to be alone and think.

I dont give that information out, i have seen people whom have been hurt, because they gave there info away to someone in some general converse. Though im sure every teen says the same thing, with all my heart i truley do beleive that it is highly impossible that i would give my info to someone. Besides im the ony person in my house who really knows how to even go about a computer, the second best in my house is my little sister who is 5, not to say that i know more than my parents, because i dont, sadly enough i dont, they have had life experience which counts for more than any book can teach you, but im "different", if you would like to use that term, im different from all of my peer's ( not talking about anybody on this website, but the average NT teenager), and if all my mom has to go off of is the NT Teens then she might have the wrong prospective. My mom feeds from "emotion" and my Dad feeds from "whats happening at that second", and while those help in certain situations, they are not always to be true in others. I don't say this to gloat, or to babble on about how smart i am, it's just everyone i have met in my life goes off first inpretions, and im sorry i really dont care what other think, but first impretions, dont count for squat. You need to get to know a person to paint the full picture, otherwise, your just making stuff up!

No i dont pay rent, bills, or transportation fee's; but if i could i would, but i can't, and i understand your point if i were responsible for someone i would keep an eye on them, but i would think that i had earned some amount of trust over the past 15 years with my parents. I agree parents are supposed to and should keep an eye on their children, but there's a line there that you dont cross parent or not. I've tried to explain what im doing to my parents before i do it, because i want them to be able to help me if im hurt ( because we all make mistakes), however they do not respond in a mature way;

. By raising there voice and yelling, assuming situations without any knowledge of whats going on
. Or one of my most hated respones "because i said so" ....... what the heck does that mean?!?!?!

It's just the fact that, i have some problems such as school phobia and severe depression, so i have time during the day to think and do anything i want, well i started to actually listen to how my parents reacted towards me, and why they did it at specific times, and i'm noticing alot of it dosen't make sense, i relize there humans, which is why i confront them about this type of stuff in a calm manner in a "family meeting" sort of thing, but it always ends the same way, with nothing accomplished or i'm in more trouble than i was to begin with.

My parents are my, if you will "dictators" until im 18, because im am not of age to bwe able to think clearly on my own right now. However i beleive some where down the chain of generations, the word "parents" was taken to far an the powers with it were "abused". I could be wrong and im just wasting my time ranting on about it, but i could also be right and be bring up a topic that needs to be fixed and tweaked a little?

Maybe, maybe one day it will

I think your best bet is to have a sit down with your parents. Let them know that you dislike the invasion of privacy behind your back. If they insist on this, then offer to be presence and show them what your doing. If they still are not willing to cooperate, try to involve a outside 3rd party like a counselor.

Mainly, you need to convince your parents that you are growing up and do not need to be under the watchful eye constantly. You are growing more responsible and have become capable of handling some aspects of your life.

Well, i have had time to take my door apart and figure out a way to lock it permanetly ( however there is a key to opening it), and i have my CPU locked off, new passwords and all, but if i lock them out and they truly cannot get in, what are they going to do? I'm a bit rusty with all of this info since the last year or so of yelling delt with nothing more than my diagnosis. I know thats a stupid question to ask, but i really dont know?
