Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Michigan

You live by their rules in their house. Your privacy begins when you move out. Kliszlaw.com. Tim Klisz

You have a right to privacy, but parental monitoring of computer use is not one of those areas that your rights supercede their rights. You will (legally) be considered an adult when you turn 18. This means that you may leave home and establish your own household. If your parents are doing more (to invade your privacy) than what you describe, then you may be entitled to be emancipated. This means that you must have a safe place to live and be able to support yourself, or have financial support from another family. It requires an application to the local circuit court, and a ruling by the judge.

If you need privacy on line in the meanwhile, you can go to a local library, and use a computer there. You can set up a new online account that your parents will not be able to control. Understand that your parents probably are trying to protect you from all the awful creeps that prey on young women your age. So, privacy comes with a price. You will be entering a world that is very dangerous when you start "talking" to strangers online, and you will have to rely on your own judgment to keep yourself safe. You would be smart to try to "go away" to college when you graduate from high school. Good Luck.
