I have a problem with my parents. Everytime I get a letter in the mail, regardless if its junk or not, they feel the need to go through my mail and I've brought this up to them and they've said "Oh, but we're you parents and we have a right too. Are you trying to hide something?" I'm just like, no, its mine and you shouldn't read it. Of course up till now I really didn't care as much, but I am getting college letters (like acceptence or rejection letters) and they open it and I am kind of ticked off with that. I mean, I came home from work today to find my letters from Temple and Albright opened on the kitchen table. All the other letters I really don't care, but these college letters I think I have a right to open them. Do you guys think I'm just being weird because I mean, I understand they are excited to see if I got in but I still think I should have the opportunity to open it because I am the one going to college. So what should I do?

not without his permission. the federal law is very clear that the person that the letter is addressed to, should be the one to open it. they cannot go and get the mail sent back to the house when they cannot prove they are the people the mail is addressed to.
i am not sure how it works. on usps.com, you get redirect your mail but only if you are moving. you should go to the post office and figure it out. UPSP HOLD MAIL SERVICE USPS REDIRECTING: you can send it to a PO box (enter the address in the street field) but it has to be a USPS PO box. it would cost quite a bit of money. PO BOX RENTAL FEES i think you should at least give talking to your parents another try. |

Uh, the law doesn't apply to minors. Parents have a right to keep tabs on their children's lives. It's called "raising kids". |
