Is it wrong to want some privacy?

When you were younger, privacy probably wasn't such a big deal. If your younger sibling barged into your room, you welcomed the company. If your parents asked you a question, you answered without hesitation. Back there may be times when you wish you could close the cover. "I like when I can just keep some things to myself,"
Why sudden desire for privacy? In part, it's because you're growing up. for example, the bodily changes that take place during adolescence can leave you highly self-conscious even in the presence of your family. Also as you grow, you start feeling as never before the need to ponder over matters privately. this is a sign that you are developing "thinking ability"
Of course, you're still under your parents' authority, and they have a right to be aware of what's happening in your life. But when you combine their need to know with your need to grow, there may be some conflict. How can you deal with the challenge?

well, back when i was a kid, no one got much privacy especially kids. 
but i just sneaked in some here and there and hoped for the best till i could get on my own. 
but even then it was short lived. i had kids of my own and they dont leave you much privacy either. the only time ive had absolute privacy is when i had my own house and lived alone. then there was to much.

Privacy is for everybody, as long as we think that we need it then we should start having it. We should respect other's privacy too. If my privacy is invaded then I would really feel bad.
