Mom reads her 16-year-old daughter's diary and kicks her out because she wrote that she doesn't see her stepdad as family: 'He's just the guy my mom is married to.'

I can't think of anything more invasive and cruel to do to a teenager than reading their diary. You really shouldn't be reading anyone's diary unless you're trying to figure out the cause of their demise, ala Laura Palmer, or you're reading diaries that were written to be eventually read by the public, ala Presidents. For the average Joe, your diary is the place where all of their most intimate private thoughts go: the thoughts that can be even too difficult to say out loud, so they must be written. 

There's probably a pretty good reason that someone isn't telling you the things that are in their diary, even if you are family or a close friend. They may need to process their raw thoughts before sharing them with anyone. We all know that the first things that come to our minds aren't always that pretty, and there's nothing wrong with having a first draft of your emotions. People shouldn't be held to the things they say in their diaries, unless, of course, they are planning some crime. But having negative emotions about your parents is not a crime, and parents of teens should know that.
