    Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Hei Longjiang began to write her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can't read English.

    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 parents read their children's secrets. That's why, like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.

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."
