i have seen that *minimize* topic and i am definitely a victim of it...
but one thing even worse is that my mom logins my email account and look at MY emails, going on my xanga and read what i wrote there and my friends' comments. one time i changed the email password and she gets hella mad at me. anything happen to you like this? |

QUOTE(lilangelgurlpnai @ Apr 15 2005, 10:37 PM) You should delete your history.  yeah, you should definately do this, my boyfriend does...i'd tell you how to but i don't know  you should also probably delete the websites that are in you web adress bar  plus, delete your favorites and save all your stuff on floppy disks, give each of them some project or school thing name, and hide them somewhere... that's so horrible that your parents invade your privacy like that...have you tried talking to them? |

Nope.
The only time she reads my stuff is when she looks over my shoulder time to time. She knows I have a xanga, but she doesn't read it. I always delete my history. My dad is computer alliterate, so I never have to worry about it. He's scared to turn on the computer, 'cause he think it'll blow up or something.  I'm really sorry your parents do that to you. Seriously, you need to demand some privacy ( in a nice way). |

Aw that really sucks.
Talk to them about it. or delete everything you have. heh. Thank goodness my parents don't check up on me. They know I have a "website" (xanga) and sometimes asks to see it. I say "it's on hiatus" and they buy it.

That really sucks...I'm glad my parents trust me. Why don't you make another account for everything that your parents won't know about and keep the old ones?

my parents don't really know much about computers, so no, but a few times my mom made me show her an IM window and it was really private. She wanted to know what it was, but i told her "oh no, that's all, what you see, that's all" heh and arghh my dad reads it, he hovers over me and read the convo or looks at what I"m doing..it gets me pissed
