Have you ever minimized your screen so your parents wouldn't see what you are doing ? Not necessarily because you are trying to hide something bad but just because you don't want them invading your space and trying to see what you are typing. etc...
but somehow it ends up like you are hiding something anyhow. |

Chyeah. Anytime my mum sees a picture open, she wants to know who it's of.
 And they try to read over my shoulder. Pisses me off.

Yeah.
Either that, or I'll block the screen. I don't go to inappropriate sites, but I don't want my parents up my ass constantly. |

i open up yahoo because that seems like a neutral page...and i always look at the news there whenever anyone comes by...
i hate it when people monitor me i can minimize things pretty fast so they really think i am looking at the news but when i'm playing the sims it kind of lags |

Yeah, it's like, when I was chatting with someone on AIM, then my sister came by and I minimized the screen because me and the person that I was chatting with were talking about my boyfriend. My sister didn't let me have bfs, so yeah.

Oh yes. Many times. Especially with my dad. My mom has no clue as to what I do online, but I do it just in case.

Yes, all the time when I'm on MSN coz I'm not allowed to use it...........parents have issues with it...............
I'm still using a web based version of msn which u don't have to download it. When I'm doing h/w, I open up multiple windows, several are doing h/w, and other sites are just sites like these I go into when I don't feel like doing h/w HOWEVER I've figured out a way to minimise much quicker!! I'm a dope at computers. Pressing "Alt" and the "Tab" makes switching pages much faster!! ^^Coz its pretti obvious is everytime mum or dad comes and i minimise everything, they know something's wrong.............

Yeah, I do that, or I open a new window or something. I just don't like it when my parents try to pry and see what I'm doing.
