Are parents ALLOWED? They are your parents so they are allowed. What are you going to do tell the police? LOL.

I agree with DaniMac. Your parents should know what you're up to online. I'm not saying that it's polite for a parent to go snooping around in your business if you are doing what you're supposed to. I think a teenager has a right to some privacy. But if a parent is worried about you or if you are in trouble, I think they should be able to look up your accounts to see if there is something happening to you that is wrong or dangerous.

If you were my kid & didn't give it to me, you wouldn't have access to any sort of computer device.

Every smart kid knows they should have an innocent account that they never use.

Basically my mom thinks i'm haunted by a bad ghost, and psychics and santeros tell her that i'm going to get pregnant if I refuse to do this sacrificing ritual. I'm not gonna do that shit. I'm not doing anything wrong. I don't smoke, drink, i'm a virgin, I left the douches in my life, I have a nice boyfriend that's always respectful. Etc. She just believes psychics that supposedly know everything more than me. I'm tired of her getting into my business cuz most of the time she just ends up making it worse. For example, she'd rather me talk to druggies that would rape me at any chance than my clean-cut boyfriend who hates drugs, drinking, and sex before marriage, just cuz they have horrible lives and she feels bad for them. When I turn 16, I am getting emancipated, so yes if it's illegal to try and have my email and password, i will use that in court for emancipation.

I'm also 15 and will be turning 16 in March. What a coincidence! My parents have expressed interest in having access to these things of mine before. I just explained to them why it's wrong and how I felt that it was an invasion of privacy. I don't think there's anything in the law about it anyway. You could compromise and tell her that occasionally she can see your MySpace etcetera if she's concerned about who you're talking to, but not give her the password.

Well, it's like this... Legally, they probably don't have a right (are you going to take them to court?). Legally, they DO have a right to keep you from the computer, give you a curfew of 10:00, and do many other things to make you miserable. My hope (and their hope, too, I'm sure) is that you aren't doing anything online that would cause you to be concerned about them having your passwords. If you're going on 16, it'll be soon enough when you'll be able to keep all that private - Eventually, though, you'll miss those times when the biggest challenges in your world were giving up your passwords to your mom...
