How do i stop my parents from snooping through my chats
Hi op,
I completely understand how youâre feeling. It can be really frustrating and even violating when your parents, especially your mum, go through your personal messages without your consent. It makes you feel like youâre constantly being watched and that they donât trust you, which can be emotionally exhausting.
However, given that youâre 16 and considering the typical mindset of Indian parents, their actions likely stem from concern rather than control. In their eyes, theyâre just protecting you from potential dangersâcyber threats, misleading friendships, or situations where you might unknowingly put yourself at risk. You mentioned that the chats were about something as harmless as Instagram feed changes, but from their perspective, any private conversation could be something serious. This overprotectiveness is common, especially in families where parents believe they need to monitor everything to ensure their child doesnât make mistakes.
That said, this doesnât mean what sheâs doing is justified. Trust is a two-way street, and by constantly snooping, sheâs not giving you the space to develop your own judgment. Hereâs what you can do:
> Set Boundaries Subtly
- Keep your phone with you at all times or use a strong lock screen password. If she asks why, you can say itâs to prevent others from misusing your phone rather than directly accusing her.
- If you donât want to delete chats but still want to maintain privacy, you can archive important ones or use disappearing messages (available in WhatsApp/Instagram).
- If your mum asks what you were talking about, give her a brief, harmless summary so she doesnât feel the need to check. For example:
âOh, we were just discussing some Instagram changes, nothing serious.â
This might reassure her that youâre not hiding anything.
> Use Indirect Communication
Some Indian parents donât respond well to direct confrontation, but they do take hints from outside sources. You can casually bring up:
- A friend who feels bad because their mum checks their phone, and how itâs affecting their mental health.
- A news article or a conversation about how privacy is important for teenagers to learn responsibility.
- If your another family member is more understanding, talk to them and see if they can explain your side to your mum.
> Understand When to Pick Your Battles
Some parents are just wired to worry excessively, and changing them takes time. Instead of constantly fighting over it, choose when itâs worth addressing. If itâs a casual chat about harmless things, maybe let it go. But if it starts affecting your mental health, then you definitely need to assert your need for privacy.
> Emotional Balance â Donât Let This Consume You
Feeling like youâre always being watched can be exhausting, but donât let it make you feel powerless. Instead of focusing on what she does, focus on what you can controlâhow you react, how you communicate, and how you manage your privacy.
Remember, youâre not alone in this. Many teenagers with strict parents face this issue. Over time, as you grow older and prove that youâre responsible, your parents will likely ease up. Until then, balance patience with setting small but firm boundaries.
Hope this helps, and stay strong -

PLEASE CLEARIFY MY DOUBT ;=; (Also posted in r/hindu)
Did Brahma, Vishnu or Shankar ask you to workshop them?
Just because someone dies makes them not good enough? Ram, Krishna, Sati have all died.
Worshipping's sole purpose is to show your devotion to someone, it doesn't promise you eternal life.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Devi, you, me and everything that exists are forms of the same parmatma.
Puranas follow this pattern of glorifying one form of parmatma over the others, in Vishnu Purana you will see Vishnu as the supreme lord and cause of all that exists, similarly in Shiva Purana Shiva will be the superior one. -
