Opinions on parents going through their kids' phones?

I just wanna hear it from you guys. I went on my phone and I automatically was on my text

messages that I did not scroll through. Turns out it was my mom. Do you think its right for them

to do this? i didn't even do anything. I have nothing to hide, but these things are still personal.

Well, they have the legal right, but like a lot of things that are legal, I'd only consider it in an emergency of some sort. Invading your teenagers' personal space is quite intrusive, and destructive of their building a sense of being a separate entity with their own rights and responsibilities.
