Answer 1

I suffer the same problem as you. 4 years ago my mom made an MSN and FaceBook for me. Of course she knows my password. I get a little upset with her going on there when I'm not using the computer but it is understandable. What really dissapoints me is that she looks over every conversation I have had and JOINS into it asking what I have been talking about. Now everyone at school has their share of laughs at me for having a mom protected account. If i clear my chat history she will argue with me saying quote: "Do you have something to hide from me?" I am only twelve years old. Sure I do important stuff for kids my age online. But it is important stuff that shouldn't be important to anyone else in my family.
