have your parents ever read your personal diary?

hi, kul-dude. I used to write diary on paper while i was a kid. now I write it on my PC. So my parents can not read my diary. But I ofen talk about my company with my parents in order to share its good news and bad news with them.

When I was younger I would tell my diary every thing that is till I found my mother reading it. She was never one to come right out and talk to me about what was going on. She would sneak behind my back and read my diary. I had tried to talk to her several times telling her if she wanted to know all she had to do was ask. She never did understand that even though I was a minor in her house what she was doing was below the scum of the earth. I dont feel that any one has the right to read your diary. If they do they are violating your privacy. No matter your age every one has the right to privacy.

I never shared deeper secrets with my diary still wrote in it fairly well. It was after my dad read it without my permission and maybe looked forward to this again that I changed my writing style completely. My diary became just a log of daily routine. It helped somehow but I lost the personal touch with the diary. And eventually I stopped writing, can't even say when....

when i was a child i started to write diary. I think now i almost have over 20 diary notebooks. I tried to keep them in a secret place but it was not easy. at the time i did not have my personal space. So my parents and my sister all read my diaries without my permission. it was really upset. I protested many times but i did not find a better way to do with my diaries. also my parents had no intention to know my so called secret,especially my father. I think my mother was just curious. now i have my blogs as my diary. my parents visit them regularly with my invitaion.

No, the last time when I wrote my diary might be 10+ years ago when I was in high school, I never suffered such cases which my parents very respect of my privacy, they never force me to do what I am not willing, after I graduated from university, they let me choose works which I interested, what good parents I have?

I used to have a diary when I was young but I make it a point not too write too personal in there. I am also concerned of somebody finding it and reading it that will expose whatever I have written in there. If I have too personal things to write, I just wrote it in a piece of paper, and pour all the emotions in there. Afterwards, I will tore it apart and throw it so that nobody can see what's in there. It works!

I used to write in a diary all the time. It helped me get my frustrations out without exploding at someone. My aunt (who has raised me so she is practically my mother) really upset me one day and I had to write it all down. I was crying and everything. She ended up reading my diary and the only way I found out about it is that she wrote her response below my entry. I was so angry and didn't write in another diary for many years. Now, I only write memories that I want to remember, rather than feelings. I cant stand the thought of someone being able to read them whenever they want...they should only be able to know the thoughts and feelings that I voluntarily share with them.

I used to have one when I was young and I write everything inside. I really mean everything. Then my mom found it and she read it. Worst, she shared it with my family. It was an embarrassing moment. If there's a hole, I might jump in and bury myself instantly at that time. After that I changed to the one with lock. However I kept misplacing the key. It's annoying and I stop writing in the end. Now days I have blog but I don't pour out my heart content like I did in my diary.

Oh yes.. they read my diary.. and all of my postal mail.. and emails... and notes from school.. and poetry and anything that I possessed... only my mother though. My mother completely violated every sense of trust that I had in her and to be honest, it quite helped to ruin the relationship that we had then, and has led me to not want to have a close one to her now.

Yes! When I was 11, my mom opened my diary. She then came to talk to me about how happy I was and that each morning I had to wake up thinking of that. She had brought me a new very fancy diary, so that each morning I could write: "I´m a happy girl". I hated her when she was talking and hated that new diary. I never wrote a word there. I resumed writing diaries more than 2 years later, when I thought I could hide things better. I even invented a code, just in case. I NEVER read my daughters diaries. My youngest was the kind of girl that lost things so she quickly lost her diary key and left it open. I never read it. And I know for sure that a mother who is near her children can read everything by looking at their eyes and listening at the tone of their voices. I´m 64 years old now and as you can see, when I remember about it, it still hurts. Take care!

i remembered my dad read my diary when i quarreled with them fiercely?and i wrote my words in my heart that i really wanted to tell them?the lucky thing everything had been solved after my parents read my diary,thank god!

no. i used to keep one before. although there were no real secrets and too personal ones, there were not seen by anyone. i am good at keeping it somewhere.
