When I was a teenager, one time my parents took my diary (not just read it, they actually TOOK it and even brought it to my therapist) and to this day it was a huge betrayal of trust and really hurt and pushed me away from my parents making me more secretive.diaries and journals are so personal it's crossing major boundaries to sneak and read them, whether or not they are your minor children

[@judithmurray8220]

I had to clean the kitchen, wash clothes and clean around the house after school was out. I'd get home at 4 everyday. I always had homework but everything got done on time and I still would have plenty of time for myself afterwards. My dad would take my phone if I didn't have my stuff done but the chores I had to do would take probably 10 minutes to do each. Kids nowadays complain too much. My dad used to have to clean everything in his house as a kid. his mom would go around with white gloves and if any flat surface was dirty she'd make him clean it again. You're lucky you don't have surprise military inspection type cleanings.

Give me a break. I snuck out, had sex at 15, drank, etc. and I'm currently a college student, getting almost all A's, living on my own in a happy monogomous relationship. Wanna know why?

These mothers could take a lesson from her.

[@BlueHazyDreams]

I was 100% trusted as a kid, quite independent and was free really to just be a kid. I turned 18 and was able to easily transition to adult life and be rather successful going to college across the country and living independently. I have several peers including my best friend who were monitored and controlled relentlessly as kids and then had to deal with teen pregnancy, drugs, alcohol, etc. She partied, raved, drank, did drugs. Her college experience was ended early when she had to drop out to go to rehab and move back in with her parents, and she's not allowed to go back because she'd go straight back to cocaine if left to her own devices. I'm sure some of these kids are able to go on to live normal lives, but I've seen a crazy correlation with putting kids in cages and then when they're released they don't know how to handle their newfound freedom and just crash and burn.

My dad is very similar to this and Tyra is right. An animal chained up is going to try to get out aggressively. He would block any number on my phone that texted or called me too much. Well my work was one of them and I got in trouble at work for not answering their calls. My boyfriend would be blocked too without my knowledge of knowing it. He even installed a tracking device on my car that notified him wherever I was and when I went over 5mph. This type of parenting is smothering and does not have good outcomes.

[@pinkbows14]

[@Potatoes_are_great24]

I remember when my mom thought I had sex. She was yelling at me saying, your body changed, you look different, you're always tired. And I always told her, no i didn't and when I do you will get a nice hand written letter when I have sex. Trust me, and I'm tired because I have school and work. Like parents don't realize, that going to school at 6am-3pm and then going to work doesn't get you tired.

[@october31996]

As a teenager, coming home from dates or a certain friend's house, my mom accused me of smoking cigarettes and would smell my hands when I never touched one. My mom would also accuse me of having sex and would point out that I had dark under eye circles (which were always there) which meant that I lost my virginity apparently. School caused my under eye circles and my hands would smell like everything I'd touch. I wasn't as bad as she thought..

Sorry but I disagree, my parents are exactly like this and I agree with what they do... I haven't rebelled once.^

[@xmisogyny]

hoshikou I think /lack of/ pressure is the reason why the second mom was such a failure. All the time I see so many white kids(majority) that are just straight up disobedient to their parents who will do what they want and the parents have no control over it or them. And they are still minors by the way. When I listen to the first parent, I'm hearing a girl who played those same tricks on her parents and is educating her daughters that they aren't 'slick' and that she knows what the real world is like and what's best for them. Just by that alone you can tell she wants her girls to be smart. And they are obviously But while there's nothing wrong with that.. I feel that when you reach a certain age, like 16, and you're still strip searching them, which I know it sounds crazy but I think she's wise, at that time you just have to kind of ask yourself when is it time for me to let go or atleast kind of ease up? You can't hoard your children away forever, or they're going to end up hating you for it, and that's what I think Tyra was wanting her to see.

[@divatashi]

i feel like the problem with it though is that if she's always like this 1. i feel like she was probably a really bad teenager and that's why she's so protective 2. it'll actually get in the way of normal friendships with guys and even just their friendships with girls, from experience its really too hard keeping friendships going if your friends parents are constantly calling you to check where their kid is, like don't even think relationships cause how is a friendship going to transition to a relationship if they from the beginning as a friend are confronted with so many questions

[@BOICRAZYTV]

Aniya Santiago I'm 16 and I agree. If you're actively doing wrong then what would you expect?

[@DeathRipper97]

Aniya Santiago Yeah, they aren't saying she should trust her. They're saying that she shouldn't snoop, but openly admit she'll be tracking her and that she has to send a message from the phone every hour/half an hour or something, so she wouldn't just leave her phone somewhere. After she's been doing that regularly for a while and talking to her openly, it's okay to drop it. Imagine for example if you hid a friend from your boyfriend, afraid that he'll be jealous (but didn't cheat). Would that justify him spying on you for your whole life? It's normal that his trust would be broken, but it's also normal to start trusting you again after he understood the reasons you lied for and what was his role in that and you talked it over and you haven't been doing it since. You see what I'm aiming at? If you distrust someone, yet keep saying you love them, they'll think they're not worthy of your trust anymore because of the thing they've done, they'll feel guilty and your snooping will constantly remind them of the guilt, making them project it as anger on you. They'll loose confidence and they'll just want to show you they can do it despite you trying to stop them, you know.

[@sarahb4864]

The other day I went to a movie with a couple friends and told my mom I planned on getting food while I was out. I am 16. When my mom came to pick us up, my phone didn't have good service and kept dropping calls, but I was trying to tell her where I was. I was at a restaurant very close to the movie theater. She flipped out. Interrogated me and my bestfriend (who is a gay male). When he left the car, shit hit the fan. Screaming and tears were all that car ride was. When we got home my dad and mom started yelling at me for this honest mistake. I had told her the plans were to see a movie and get food. Well they took my phone, and searched it. Read all of my texts to close friends, looked at my pictures, on my twitter. Then the day after, my room was searched. Everything. My dad found a book I was writing because I've been interested in literature and he assumed it was about a real guy. He repeatedly told me that he didn't believe me. I do online school and now I can't even do schoolwork without being in the same room as a parent because I am on my computer. They keep accusing me of dating my bestfriend. If he were a female they wouldn't have a problem, and he practically is to me. Now my dad set up where he can track and see at any given moment where I am. I have never had any type of behavior or other problems. I've never snuck out, never even kissed a boy. But here I am at 16 being torn apart by my parents all because of an honest mistake. Snooping can absolutely tear a child down. I don't do anything bad, and actually avoid everything i can. Parents go overboard with the whole "protective parenting" thing, because this is down right invasion of my fucking life and privacy. I don't feel like I have anything anymore. They aren't here for me, if they were they'd just talk to me like a person other than being condescending and outright telling me that they don't trust me.

try talking to them one more time. if that doesn't work, take out the chip and go to a family members house and ask of they can talk to ur parents. if that doesn't work... than its time for an outright rebellion

[@DeathRipper97]

Sarah Beach Try this. Ask them is it really important to them for you not to do the stuff they deem unacceptable now, and not important to them what you think about it. I mean, it's not going to make you more mature not to do stuff if you don't know why. Tell them you know why, but you're aware they think you don't, so you want them to tell you what they think about it and ask you whatever they want. Be honest with them. I don't know what do you think about relationships and sex (which is obviously what they're worried about), but tell them honestly what you think about it. My guess for a teenage girl your age who hasn't kissed or had a boyfriend is that you sometimes think about it, shyly fantasize, but that you don't really want it yet and don't feel ready, or at least feel awkward about it. Tell them that, tell them you wouldn't be pushed over the edge by peer pressure and you're aware it's a personal decision and that you're not mature enough yet (bear in mind this doesn't belittle you, we all grow at different rates and you're probably better at something else). I have to sympathize with you as a fellow writer. I never wrote romance, but I know what it feels like to be told that you support or like or idolize views of your characters or that you have to be similar to every character you've written about, or you wouldn't know what to write. Let them know that you have friends who told you about stuff, that you read and watch movies and that you feel it's important to understand romance before you get into it and understand your needs, so nobody would be able to play you. Let them know it's your way of working on yourself and trying to prevent things they're afraid of from happening one day, when you start dating. Try not to say all of this as arguing, try to just ask them about their reasons and show them your own, honestly. I know there might be a lot of emotions involved, but try to be as rational as possible, even if they snap and can't control themselves. If all else fails, let them know you feel like you're dysfunctional and ask them to go to family therapy. If you have to in order to convince them, tell them you feel like it might be something wrong with you, but you'd really like to solve it together. I really feel sorry that you have to be the mature one in such a situation, but I really hope it all works out. Things like that can really break you, parents not trusting you is one of the most hurtful things they can do to you. Just don't forget they're not like that because you're not worthy of their trust, they've got their own issues and they worry too much about you. They're the ones who need help, not you. And that doesn't belittle them either. Everyone makes mistakes, it's important that we try our best for the people we love. Good luck with this. ^^

Relax.

[@princeicio]

I'm an Arab and not even our parents snoop on us like that!!

[@princeicio]

What's that supposed to mean?

[@shatharx]

+ Millie me but Arabs are white af dude

[@princeicio]

racist bitch

[@TiaNichole17]

Princeicio well as an African American women that was raised in a home that you had no privacy in the house male or female you have no privacy. she is actually just really good at snooping my mom never did half the stuff that the first mom did

[@TiaNichole17]

But I don't think Millie me meant any harm

[@katparks4631]

My mother read my diary when I was a teen. I was so pissed! Being way to strict makes a child rebellious, or really sneaky.

[@Cherrywavess444]

I grew up with so many friends with really strict snoopy parents and they all would still do the bad things their parents don't want them to do just behind their backs. You have to learn from life mistakes sooner or later.

[@SarahGurl211]

I wonder how these girls are doing now, seeing as this episode is about 6 years old. I hope they're doing good.

[@caffeineabuser95]

She's sooooo beautiful.

[@maeganjames2490]

OK Two things... 1) I love how she cares enough about her daughters to watch out for them, and check up on them to make sure they're safe. 2) She does NOT have to know every little detail about their lives! Isn't there supposed to be trust in love?

[@inhaledexhaled5460]

+Natasha Bonnici my dad used to snoop when we had phones confiscated so we just learnt how to avoid it. delete history etc. it helps if anything ;)

[@Caraphatash]

[@inhaledexhaled5460]

Natasha Bonnici okay well thats my personal opinion compared to your overly exaggerated one. why dont they people start protecting their privacy more? lock phones, take diaries with you or keep an online journal. etc. seriously its not that hard...

If my parents were that intrusive I would start to resent them soo fast!

[@rodgersgirl1980]

I'd move out

[@Maisie.Meehan]

That girl with the second woman, Lily, - I'm sorry but she SHOULD be kept tabs on. 15, an 18 year old boy, sneaking out at night. Maybe not as extreme as it is- but that mother needs to seriously crack down on discipline.

[@GeorgeTheRapper2]

I've never given my parents any reason to snoop, if anything I spend too much time in my room that they actually want me to go out and party and go do shit.

[@alexismorgan6292]

im they same way im a bit anti-social i prefer to live in my room cause of the people i live around and go to school with they are mostly jerks . Ill stick to hanging my family thank you along with my immediate friends who are my family away from home and my pets

[@bobswolfie2001]

Haha, same here. They try to get me to go with friends. XD. I just stick with my pets and family.

[@kimpossible3962]

The first mom should put her daughter on bithcontrol serioulsy if she is that scared of them getting pregnant and educate them about condoms and sex. I would run away if my mother was like that really

[@nighthtrash4028]

Cutting is a sign of depression, not acting like an idiot doing drugs and sleeping around... wtf is up with that mom?!?!?

[@elizabeth-nicole67]

People who self harm are crazy and need help. No sane person would hurt themselves

[@LauraWilson19952014]

Em Sheeran Me too!! That just makes them want to self-harm even more, because they get the idea that their parents don't even care. laelonnnie denton So what? It's not your place to judge anyone. I'm pretty sure no one wants to self-harm; they just do it to cope with the pain.

[@kyrawilliams1404]

[@sabrina-wv7le]

I used to self harm and my parents punished me by taking my phone AND,I was way better without it,sometimes they punish you for your own sake.

[@sharpnicolecatherine]

I really like that that lady said that you should be up front with your kids about monitoring them instead of snooping behind their back. I think if my parents were up front and honest with me during my teenage years about that we would probably have had a much different and better relationship

[@daydaygreen703]

Im just glad these shows are in quality

[@angeltv3112]

I can understand that these mother's worry about their teens getting into trouble. But at the same time, they as the mother need to build a trust with their kids and I feel like they're not building that trust, thus giving them some right to snoop on them. When I became a teen yeah I did rebel on my parents but thankfully they didn't snoop like these parents have. I got my first computer at 16, but I didn't have a social media page like facebook until I was around 22 because it wasn't for me as a teen. Plus i needed a computer for school. Going back to these moms, I personally believe if they keep doing what they're doing, their kids will only resent them later on. Honestly if I were in these girl's situation, I would never want to speak to my parents again because they don't realize this is not helping our relationship. It's like if you can't trust me as your child, I'm done, gone.

[@BrieeLovesGerardWay]

After my mum took my phone away for nearly a year now, I seriously couldn't thank her enough. Really opened up my eyes and made me more mature haha.

[@shannonreid7691]

My mother checks my phone some nights, of course I don't want her to but if she discovers something she doesn't like we sit down and have a civilised conversation. I know she does it because she loves me,she does trust me and I am forever grateful to have such a amazing mother.

[@haethon5632]

This makes perfect sense! How else will my children learn dishonesty if not by my example?

[@Bestarstruck]

A word of caution to the "snooping" mothers out there, you only get one chance to raise your child, continue down this path and your children will hate you forever. Build their confidence and grow the trust, don't take it from them by going behind their back. Q

[@maggiemoore2614]

she says back in my day like shes old

[@ilylove1]

The first mom had two really good girls. She was over doing it. You could tell the girls had an innocence about them and that they weren't doing anything despicable. I hope the mom figured out that being a stalker isn't the way.

[@AshleyAjibade]

Her snooping is a full time job! I can see where she coming from though😄😂

[@jenellelynn4551]

The last mom is an idiot. Cutting is a serious sign of depression/anxiety and she should have brought her daughter to a psychologist immediately. Snooping would only make it worse. 😡

[@IisisShepheard-zc4rs]

[@jessebrooks7929]

My parents check my ipod and phone almost every night, and i barley leave the house. Like, what the hell? It makes me distrust my parents.

[@0Onyx13]

+Dawn “GamerTag” Speed I understand how that can be frustrating as heck, but like this woman said, your parents are probably not worried about your behaviour, but they don't trust people you are in contact with, everyone to them is potentially trying to corrupt their innocent child.

[@tayrayxo]

Put a passcode on your phone and iPod

[@TracyTodd2199]

Dawn Speed...Be thankful that they actually CARE about YOU. It's annoying while you are the teen but please try to understand really bad things happen to young people these days.

[@haveagreatday3664]

I'm sorry. I had a parental snooping problem and it's hard and they don't realize that it will just make kids more sneaky instead of not communicating or doing the things they are afraid of them doing at all they just figure out ways to do it under the radar. Humans are people and as young people grow into adults they have a yearning to become their own person and sometimes they think they are more ready before their parents think they are. So it's important to remember what yellow jacket lady said.

[@BlueHazyDreams]

+Dawn Speed I was just a teen not too long ago. I'm 20 now, and I have to say as smart and mature as I was for my age, I still made a lot of terrible decisions. Teens' brains are still in development, and some of the last parts of the brain to develop deal with decision-making and judgment. I didn't think I was making bad decisions at the time but now I know I was pretty damn stupid, and yet way better off still than most of my peers lol. I wasn't monitored or punished at all though, and I desperately wish I was because it has an effect on who you are as an adult and too little discipline and supervision is maybe not as damaging as too much, but it still has an effect.

[@heenasmiles1321]

Really grateful for having a mother who has been protective, however not overly protective to the extent it will drive me crazy. There is a limit, I think if my parents were this protective I would probably be insane...makes me appreciate my parents in all honesty.

[@valeriaaguilar1792]

I've never done anything wrong, ever. I've never given my parents a reason to not trust me. They would never let me stay at friends houses ever. I've never been to a sleep over with friends, just cousins. And I've never had friends sleep over either. I couldn't stop by a Dairy Queen, like 2 streets over from my house and from the school, to eat or hangout or whatever while walking home from school with friends. Even if I'd ask the day before, i couldn't do it. I did one time and my dad slapped me on the side of my face. I couldn't go to the park to do homework or study with friends. I couldn't walk around our small town with my friend without my parents thinking we were going to meet up with someone. I couldn't stay at a friends house across the street for long before my mom would all or text to come home. I was only involved in one extracurricular activity throughout high school and that was dance my freshman year. They were so angry because that meant I had to go to every football game and perform with the team. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 and a half years already and they don't let me stay out til past 10. He's the only guy I've had sex with and that have met my parents. Pretty much my first real boyfriend. I'm turning not 19 in 2 months. Sometimes they don't even let me go out with him. Yet they don't like him coming over sometimes either because they can't go about their normal day with him there. I do kind of blame them for lots of things. I couldn't really enjoy being young. Very strict parents. They were very vague about their feelings as well. Never told me they loved me and to this day they never do. So yes. Strict parents create sneaky kids. I sneak out, go to parties (not often), hangout with my boyfriend. It sucks that I have to be sneaking out to hangout with my boyfriend and to try and actually be normal and socialize with other people without feeling guilty or on edge about what my parents will think or where I am at. I do wish they would stop. I have a brother who is turning 21 and he goes out whenever and sometimes they don't even know he's gone. I've tried moving out with my boyfriend to his house and my mom pretty much told me if I did then I couldn't come back. I wish parents weren't like this. It really takes away the whole idea of being young and experiencing growing up..

[@sk_1237]

That's on the verge of abuse

[@xoyouaremysunshinexo]

Valeria Aguilar I would try talking to them one last time. If that doesn't work then maybe you should just go, move out, and don't ever look back. Honestly, your home life sounds awful, borderline abusive. Well you said your dad slapped you, and your parents are emotionally detached, so that IS abusive. I know it's scary, the thought of not being able to come back, but wouldn't it be better than staying there with them? Would you really WANT to go back? You need to do whatever makes you happy, and they seem to be prohibiting that. Life is too short to be miserable.

[@Trashbag77]

Valeria Aguilar I'm so sorry for your pain. My parents were quite strict but not anything like yours. So you're 18 and they won't let you come home if you move out with your boyfriend? Is that right? I feel like I'm missing something. In the UK an adult is 18. Are you still in school; are they asking you to stay until you finish? Maybe they don't want you to change your routine or have a stressful experience like moving before final exams? If you are 18 and have finished school, let them know you need their support if you are moving out. Ask them why they wouldn't let you come home if you did move out. Perhaps they think he's 'trouble'? I hope everything turns out ok. I used to sneak out sometimes, but didn't have a steady boyfriend, and sought the attention I wasn't getting at home elsewhere.. Ultimately I put myself in dangerous situations with, in hindsight, predictable outcomes... I blame my parents too for not being there to support me when I was a teenager. I was the oldest and much of the attention went on the younger children. I read about a theory (bit old-fashioned but interesting) that female teenagers needed lots of attention and support at home, otherwise they tend to turn to promiscuity and, like me, seek attention elsewhere. This is a time when higher moral development, social interaction, and decision making processes that you are developing could benefit from being nurtured rather than ignored. For example I had so many fights or falling outs with friends, which it would have been good to talk to my Mum about without fear of judgement or criticism. Just things like that, sitting down to talk things over with them, would have been helpful. It sounds like you're a lot more grounded than I was at that age. I'm so sorry your parents don't tell you they love you. I hope you know they do. It's not uncommon for some families to behave like this, and be emotionally reserved, but I feel it is important that you feel loved. I wonder if you said 'I love you' to them, how they would respond. Maybe you could leave notes lying around the house for them saying 'I love you, thank you for being my Dad/Mum', as that might be less confrontational than saying it aloud... And ask for hugs, and give them hugs... And gradually change the pattern of behaviour/interaction in the house? I do hope everything turns out ok, sending lots of support and love to you. You are loved, Valeria Aguilar.

[@egbelanh]

Valeria Aguilar I had the same problems you have... with my parents up until the age of 20 and it only stopped because i got soo mad and fed up with how i was being treated that one day i packed my things and moved in with my boyfriend...things changed then...they wanted me back soo much that when i did move back (due to being accepted at top university i was applying to transfer to and they offered to pay for the fees if i came back, which they did)...that once i did move back i was aloud to have more freedom i was able to go to my friends houses and go out with my friends, and was able to see my boyfriend during the day and i even was able to stay over at his... i was able to have a life while being with my family and trust me i was warned before i left that if i ever did i would be out of their life for good but the opposite happened....I'm not saying it could be the same result for you but if you just get up and go they will go into panic mode and will do anything to have you back...they will change because they have no choice but to do so.. i hope things get better for you but your gonna have to do something in order to do so... my parents also used to beat me so i understand the fear but be strong and do something to change your life or your anger and resentment will just keep growing.

[@valeriaaguilar1792]

Thank you guys so much!!!

[@elm1230]

I've never forgotten this episode. It really affected me when I saw it years ago because I'm so deeply private and have felt violated,helpless,& angry, when a family member has snooped in my room. Luckily it didn't happen often because I *always* kept watch over my room and had a lock. Even now as I still live at home while in college, I have a key to my room.And every other day my mom is snooping in my sisters room and my sis is in my mom's room. They so wish they could get in mine,lmao

[@missawsomechick]

Jesus that third mom is crazy. You're trying to get her to stop cutting herself, not make her kill herself.

[@horrorfanjess29]

my older sister would tell my mom she was hanging out with a friend but was somewhere else and ended up pregnant so I understand the last mom's fear

[@Zoey-si5ct]

That's just an invasion of privacy

[@mayday9676]

That last mom made me sooo damn mad. She is so stubborn and doesnt see that her feelings toward how her mother raised her is affecting how she is raises her kids. The hate for her mom is blocking her view and she is not seeing that her kids ARE going to be the wild teen that she was.

[@mayday9676]

Also the body language of that girl is clear to me and her mom cant see it!! Just amazes me.
