   It could be as harmless as a new crush. Generally harmful things come with other signs like new friends, bruises, dropping in grades, bad sleeping habits and so on. If it’s just privacy your teen wants then give it to them.

   Teens are fighting for their own identity and own space – give them a little and they’ll calm down a little. You’d get real secretive and moody too if our mother insisted on knowing everything you were doing ever moment of the day.

   I can tell you know, just by asking, that spying on your teen is not a good idea! Try and have things that could be secretive more out in the open. Things like computers should be in the lounge room rather then in your teens room. Even on the computer don’t allow your teen to have their own user profile with a password lock on it – that will only allow them to hide things that may be dangerous such as different website viewing or chat rooms. Also phones are a good thing to have in the lounge room. Try to avoid the cordless revolution and have one attached to the wall in the middle of the kitchen, then they are in public domain and can’t talk about anything unsavory.
