Jia’s mother is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 23,000 parents. The results show that 40% of the parents read their children’s secrets. That’s why , like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.

Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary , too. But he doesn’t write it on paper. He writes online, which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents know nothing about the Internet.

Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Liu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.

“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s lives,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing, “But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution. If your parents know that you are safe, they’ll let you keep your secrets.

Friends are very important to us. We start making friends almost from the time we can walk. Most people have special childhood (童年) friends, and some of them become their life-long friends. As for me, friends are often like family. In fact, I spent more time with my friends than with my family when I was a student. I also told my friends more secrets (秘密).

With the use of the Internet, people can also send (發(fā)送) messages and e-mails to friends who live far from them. And many people make new friends online. The Internet is also helpful to find long-lost friends. That is to say, we can find our old friends through the Internet and start the friendship again.
