What Should I Do?...

Who's house is it? Do you live with your parents or others?

What do your parents think about it? Personally if someone took my kid's phone and looked through it there would be some words. Like chickened said, grow a backbone. I bet if you were assertive and told them they had no business invading your privacy and to never do it again they might oblige. If they don't I would talk to your parents about keeping them on their own side of the fence. I don't think these people would dare touch an adult's phone and snoop through it. They are just taking advantage of your young age. Stand up for yourself no matter what. Even if your parents are on their side.. though that would surprise me.

it is my view that they know no respect. You know no respect for yourself. If you can not say no,then they don't have to behave like good people. Nice people do not treat others the way your neighbors are treating you. You grow yourself a back bone, have respect for yourself, and do not let these people treat you like a doormat in your own home. This is not something your dad can fix. You need to. And do not feel guilt about it either. You let them continue, then you have no place to complain. Put them in their place, on the other side of the door.

I am so glad I am not a kid anymore. Teen age life is hell.

(this might not help but hey what the heck)

if its late invite them to stay for dinner the purposely burn the food and cover they're food in spice/sour stuff the might not come back.


Maybe (if it isn't already) password lock you computer so they can't use it.

Sounds to me as if you need to practice saying "NO!"

and i agree with this :/

Sorry, read to quickly. Missed the part where you're living at home. Lock and password protect your phone. I know it's a pain, but hey...

They came back this afternoon talking about they "forgive me" and whatnot... I no longer just let them come and go in the house as they please, and I told them that they can't use my stuff without my permission. I have put a lock on my phone, and I changed the password on the computer.

 

[OldGuy43]

They forgave YOU???!!!

You've got to be kidding!! Please put your parents on the line. I think it's time that they and I had a little talk.

Or better yet, put them on the line. These people need to be slapped down decisively.

That's good. Hope They leave you alone now!

It is NOT your fault. You did NOTHING wrong.

Although, I wonder if they, if they're your age, use your stuff (I am not saying that it is right. You shouldn't let them without permission. Girl, I love ya like a sister, but say no. XD ) because they get treated badly at home, or have no access to things like that. Sometimes (relating to experiences and using my own knowledge of human biology), when people don't have access to technology, or something popular, that when they come into contact with it, they're amazed. Something in the brain turns on (There's a name for this kinda thing, and I TOTALLY cannot remember it), and they cannot maintain a grip on the fact that it's not theirs, and they have no right to touch something that isn't theirs. They just are not used to it, and want to see what it does. Now, I'm not saying this is the case, this is just me wondering if it's the cause. I've dealt with things like this, and it's just a fact of human biology.
