Someone checking your phone or messages
Wanting privacy is normal. Someone checking your phone, reading your messages, or tracking where you go to control you is not okay.
Everyday examples
- They demand your passwords or read your messages without asking.
- They track your location and question where you go.
- They get angry when you want privacy.
One next step
Tell a trusted adult or contact a help line. You deserve privacy and safety.
Remember
- Abuse is never a child's fault.
- You do not have to collect proof before asking for help.
- You are not responsible for stopping adult violence.
- You do not have to physically intervene or protect everyone yourself.
- You can care about someone and still need protection from them.
