Opinions on teenage privacy?

I'm a 14 year old girl with an iphone. My parents are saying that they want to do a 'phone check'. I don't have THAT much to hide or anything but i just want to know what you guys think about it. If i'm not aloud to look through there phones should they be able to look through mine?

I understand you don't want your parents to look at your phone. Trust me, I had the same problem before. Well, all you can do is just tell them what you are doing before they find out themselves, but if you are doing something like 'texting' that guy, just hide it, if you don't want them to know.

Personally, I believe it's demeaning and fundamentally incorrect, seeing as the very basis of this Nation and it's modern agenda is freedom and the option of independence against the law or beside it.

However, if your parents provide for and take care of you, there really is no defense unfortunately. Their house, their rules - I suppose. Just delete all questionable material and hope for the best!

Unless you've done something untrustworthy before, I disagree with it. However, unless you paid for it, they have full rights to look through your phone with or without your agreement. Sorry, but teenage privacy, fair or not, depends on how much your parents will give you. Also, I don't know if you planned to, but don't ask them to stop. A parent who would go through their 14 year old daughters phone will most likely get freaked out if you ask for them to stop. They'll think you're hiding something…

If they bought your iphone, yes, they can do this. But I think this type an approach is too reactive and too direct and not good. They can practice more proactive and more indirect methods in order to take care of you. But no one is perfect. You don't forget that they love you and they want to protect you.

Omg i know exactly how you feel.
But my mom can be worse.
She doesn't even like it when I just stay up in my room.especially with the doors closed. She would keep asking "WHAT ARE you DOING IN your ROOM" literally every 3 minutes so annoying!
I really hate it! My mom gets bothered by even tiny little things! Like my mom is really sensitive! Ugh!
And long time ago, she would kind of check my phone, keep asking who I'm texting and what I'm doing. Also shed keep saying i regret giving u a phone and such and you cannt even control urself blah blah it gets on my nerves, i just want to die then from stress!

But now, she doesn't really check my phone(phew) because I rarely text my friends now, thanks to her, and I just use my oovoo chat to chat my friends! And she doesn't even know cuhs i'll just say i'm doing my homework.lol. And for my room problem, I rarely go to my room.sigh.such "rights" and "freedom" I have.

Oh anyways, about your phone, I think you shouldn't act so protective over your phone because it might make them suspicious and want to check more. So just act coolly and pretend like its no big deal, there's nothing to see kind of attitude. And they will prob grow off interest and prob don't care later on as long as you know how to control urself with your phone and such(x Just act like as if you don't care if they take your phone. Hope it helped~(x GOODLUCK!
