How do I convince my mom to let me get a new phone?
“A trashy phone”? Does your phone work? Is there some function you need (need, not want) that it doesn’t perform?So your existing phone is practically satisfactory?Then the new phone you want would be merely a status symbol. Has it occurred to you that you are still a child and your development is still the responsibility (mainly) of your parents (or your mother)?She may well be teaching you that if you focus on status symbols you are at risk of missing things you actually need.
How do I know if my parents are tracking my iPhone?
**Ok so I think everyone else answering this question are parents and that’s why you’re not getting the good straight up answer to this.**I’m facing the same problem that my parents are still tracking me and I’m already midway through university.So first off, I can only answer this question for iPhone because I don’t know the deal with the other phones’ trackers. Also, any of this would only work if you already know your Apple ID username and passwordThe most obvious answer is to go to settings > privacy > location services, and turn off the location services. However, this is unsustainable and you’d want to use the tracking for other things too like maps. You can scroll down on that same page and see if there are any apps that your parents could be tracking you from and delete those.Another option (which I use) is to log into your Apple ID online and first check under “devices” to see who is currently signed into your Apple ID. If it isn’t your own phone or your own laptop, delete it. THEN, under “Security”, turn on two-factor authentication. This is magic. You can’t be logging on all the time to see who is on your account so basically what it does is it sends a notification to your phone anytime someone tries to log into your account and check your location. BOOM. you’re welcome
My mom keeps going through my phone and texts!!!?
Whenever my mom sees my phone she ALWAYS grabs it and goes thru my text messages and reads every single convo I have; she always thinks I'm talking about her behind her back when I never do! - ok maybe I talked about her twice out of the years of having a phone. No I have never talked about sexting or drugs (well once I did because we me and my friend had to do a project about cocaine and stuff like that 4 science) but NO I don't talk about anything inappropriate.. I just really dislike how she never trust me ... I get good grades and I listen to what my parents tell me too. But it bugs the **** out of me What do I do... I've already tried telling her in a calm mannerly way to stop reading my texts and u know what she said?! She said "ur hiding something from me..." Me: no I'm not I'm just asking u to stop going thru my phone Mom: let me see your phone then... Or else I'm taking it away
How can I get my mom to stop invading my privacy? I'm 16. My mom keeps taking my phone, going through my stuff, reading my journals and telling others my private thoughts. Now I don't talk to her about private things. How can I get her to stop?
Perhaps it's time to tell her the consequence of her invading your privacy. I have been through that and I can tell you even now at 30 years old, I still don't tell my mum about private things. It's not like I still don't trust her. She hasn't done anything to lose my trust in the last 10 years or so. Even when I told her not to tell anyone that I was pregnant because I want to keep it a secret, she actually followed through while my mother-in-law told every single soul she knew about the news (we weren't very happy with this). But when the habit is formed, it's hard to break. I didn't trust her for years and I made sure I hide and wipe everything that she could find out about my private life for years. It has become a habit that I couldn't break. Even now I only tell her about things when it's all set in stone.I love my mum and I wish our relationship has gone differently. I envy people who has great relationship with their mums and can share with her about many things like best friends. I wish I had the courage to tell her “Please stop invading my privacy and stop telling people about me. If you keep doing that, I don't think I want to tell you anything anymore. If you wish to know more about me, please give me a reason to trust you enough to tell you.”
MY MOM IS ABUSIVE I AM RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME IS MY PLAN GOOD?! any suggestions?
I'm a 14 year old boy in New Zealand, and this almost had me in tears. Although this is an excellent plan, what are you going to do if something goes wrong? Food, petrol, rent and bills will suck up all your money fast, and it's hard for people our age to get a job to support us alone. If I was in your situation, I would contact authorities and inform them, however I've never actually been in this situation before, so I wouldn't know. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck. I'll be praying for you. I'd appreciate it if you'd stay in contact with me, I'd like to see how things turn out.

What would you do when someone says they hate Christmas?
So that they dont ruin your Chistmas. Do you think there is any way to change how they feel? What would you do to nudge them gently into enjoying Christmas? It isnt about the money, or the gifts because I have always believed Christmas is about being with good friends, or family, if you have any, great food, and just enjoying yourselves. I have never gone all out for Christmas, not since the kids were very little. What would you buy a man who says he doesnt want anything, doesnt need anything, doesnt think Christmas should be used as an excuse to buy things for people because it just another day. He doesnt mind chowing down on turkey and all the trimming though. No he isnt Jewish, or cheap, he is just a real grinch --
