How do I get my mom to stop looking through my texts?

[DiNoOoOo]

My mom had looked through my texts again and at the time I was emotionally vulnerable and was venting to my boyfriend about something my mom had said that had hurt me and that very night she looked through my messages and lectured me about it when I woke up today. She can look through everything else but my messages, I see my messages with people as a diary so invading my privacy like that pisses me off and if I tell her she’ll think I’m being sneaky. I’m not even doing anything bad like sending nudes, or taking about drugs, or being sexual on it. I just want her to stop. I don’t like my privacy being invaded like that it’s infuriating. So how do I get her to stop?

You don’t. You are 15! Your mom’s first responsibility is to make sure that you are safe. And yes, that includes seeing your texts, social media accounts, and emails. Your mom is well within her rights as your parent to make sure that you aren’t getting into any trouble. There are a lot of bad people out there who prey on kids.
Look, I know you want your privacy, and you don’t want her all up in your business. But, I have to side with your mom on this one. If you want to get a regular diary to write those thoughts down, great! But anything tech related, she should know about.
Kindest wishes,

-A Mom

As long as you are underage and not buying and paying for your own phone she'll have the right to look through it.

You could use something like WhatsApp though, option to turn on fingerprint to get into the app, so even if she gets on the phone, she can't get into that app without your finger print, or hers if it is programmed into the phone.

I don't know if she making you unlock it so she can get in or how that goes down, but good luck.

Just Delete all your messages all the time on your phones message app. Then she won’t know
Didn’t you ever Figure out how to use your brain or are you just asleep 💤 and never Know Anything never know how to Think and process information
Your just emotional you don’t think you React in emotions like it’s supposed to mean something or like it’s supposed to make you more important than the Old lady that cleans Windows for a living.

[DiNoOoOo]

Pfft how embarrassing, you sound exactly like my 12 year old brother. How pathetic. Seriously this generation of adults are turning into immature little bastards. It’s disappointing, really. did you seriously think that stooping down to my immature little brothers level would make me think you had a point? You’re only making a mockery of yourself, it’s embarrassing. Who the fuck are you to be talking down to one’s religion. Not only is it wrong it was unrelated to my question. Maybe I’m not the one who’s “sleeping” after all? It’s selfish. You would think your parents would teach their child to keep their damn mouth’s shut and to keep your beliefs to yourself unless lacking in the common knowledge department runs in the family.

@DiNoOoOo just to let you know, that user has been frozen by a moderator. Hopefully if he comes back he leaves you alone. If he doesn’t, please report him.

[DiNoOoOo]

My best advice, use a messenger app that deletes the messages after you send them like Snapchat. Separate logins, you can send messages to delete after a certain amount of time, just don't do anything risky because then your mom won't be there to help you if things get weird

Sorry, but whoever bought the phone and pays the bills for it gets rights to it.

Pay for your own phone.
