Well, you are gay. That gives them the right to snoop. I mean, if I had a fag for a son I certainly would snoop through his shit.

[Alex's Trip]

But...they don't know. Or do they?

[HaydenAsche]

You did leave your myspace logged in. Maybe they checked your comments and the ones left on my page they were referring to.

My advice: Kill your parents.

[Alex's Trip]

My mom was the one doing it, and she isn't smart enough to figure out how to find my comments. I don't think anyway. My dad is pretty good with computers, but he isn't here now, and I don't think he would or could look at them.

My mom specifically referred to some message where I told someone what a word meant. That might not be the only thing she saw though. So who knows?

You should lock your screen whenever you're not at your computer too, I always do as a precaution. They're nifty if you just want to grab food or go for a washroom break but too much of a hassle to take the effort to log off.

1. On your dektop, right click, and select new->shortcut
2. Copy and paste this into the box:

rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

3. Click next, set a name, and click finish.

The file will quickly do it for you if you're lazy like me and hate going into the start menu.

Edit: Nevermind

I can just hit windows + L and log off. And I just created a password for my account so it is all good.

It automatically brings you to the switch user screen, so you just type the password you set for your account

See edit...

[Inhuman]

okay cool cool! Keep me updated with how things go with your parents man, I have to head out

[Alex's Trip]

Later.

It would be hard. I have no doubt they do it due to love, but I think them going overboard has more to do with an obsession with control more so than love.

I completely understand this, but if you really think about it, it's a catch 22. If they really care and love about you, wouldn't they love you enough to respect your privacy?

I hope that I am able to have an open, loving relationship with them to where they know they can tell me anything and everything so that nothing comes as a surprise.

I completely agree with this. If they snoop through your stuff, it could easily be caused by miscommunication between child and parent. If they maintain a very good relationship, I think that the son/ daughter should be able to confront their parents about it, because that's what their there for

[HaydenAsche]

Just in case,

Hi Alex's Mom. Fuck off.

[cryptowonderdruginvogue]

[Norma J]

Small balls, Crypto?

[cryptowonderdruginvogue]

I think you are right, there is a definite line between a good loving parent and a nosy control freak. And from things you have mentioned before I think your parents go overboard. If it is any concellation though, know that they are doing this shit to you becuz they CARE about you and LOVE you! Seriously.

Now, having said that, this is the kind of crap that scares me now that I am a mama. I don't want anything bad to ever happen to my babies. I will do everything I can to teach them right and to protect them. I would die for them. If I thought by 'invading' their privacy I could save them from something bad, I might...

Aaaahhh! I don't know! Now you have me thinking too much...

I hope that I am able to have an open, loving relationship with them to where they know they can tell me anything and everything so that nothing comes as a surprise.

Thanks, Kegmama. It is good to have another Mom's perspective.

what did you say to her?
guess now that you are "protected", you wont confront more with her.

(even in best parent-children relationships, they should know that their kids dont tell them everything).

She had read a myspace message of mine in which I was talking about vocabulary words for my English class. And I had said something where I used a vocabulary word (I think it was corroboration), and she said "You're giving little English lessons online..." (something like that). I was confused and then she told me about what she did. I said, "Are you serious?" and she replied "Well, you left it logged in, but don't think we don't know about programs that record everything you do." It was pretty stupid.
