My dad read my texts...?
Well, the thing is that this was just a bad day. I got a text from a BOY at my school and being really very bored, I answered back because I knew him. I don't know how he got my number. Anyways, we were talking about a movie (avatar) and i mentioned that it was a bit of an action movie. He replied with, "Action,,, as in Sex." I just responded, with "..." and then he changed the topic. The thing is my dad read the text messages and now he's super upset with me. As in he came at me with a KNIFE. I admit it was my fault for talking to a guy, but i'm 17... He's angry at me for responding in the first place. Trust me, I have the bruises to prove it, I'm just wondering if this is my fault.
I have never done drugs, never had a boyfriend, never done anything rash. I get good grades...I'm going to college. I'm not about to have sex or anything. I will never do anything sexual with the guy. I wasn't the one who made the joke. Perhaps I should have deleted the messages but I felt I had nothing to hide. I go to a co ed school. It's kinda hard to avoid guys... Also, my dad really wants to know how he got my number. I said that one of my friends probably gave it to him. My dad said that's illegal and that he's going to go talk to the boy's and my friends parents... and the principal. What should I do? His ideals are old, apparently, it's my fault the guy mentioned sex. I regret even replying back to that text... What do you think about the situation?
Update:I caon't call the police. I'm very loyal to my familly and I understand where he's coming from. But I can't talk to him because he has a huge temper...

He pays the bills. He has every right to check on you. Good thing he does too.
Well.....your 17, you should get your privacy. And yeah...beating you...that's way over board over a text. Report that. And tell your dad that you need your privacy....your almost 18 and you can do whatever you want whenever you want and he can't stop you. Just delete any messages after you txt or get them from someone if you think your dad will flip out about. I think he shouldn'y even be looking at your phone in the 1st place. When I got my phone when I was 11....my parents thought I needed my privacy so they let me be with my txting.....I am so sorry your dad is like this.
If he is bruising you and threatening you with a knife, call the police. What he is doing is far worse than what he seems to think you are doing. It's abuse, plain and simple. He needs to be stop before he does permanent harm to you.
And by the way, it's not illegal to give someone a phone number.
the only case i'm able to verify you not being waiting to be mad at him replaced into in case you have a Motorola telephone, because of the fact no count number what in case you get a textual content message no count number if it quite is on silent, loud, vibrate, despite, its going to beep honestly everyone couple of minutes when you get that textual content message that's quite annoying. yet i recommend incredibly you won't be able to do something approximately it. Its already executed and while you're nevertheless mad then you certainly are blowing it way out of proportion. And in case you have been speaking approximately something which you weren't meant to in the 1st place then you certainly shouldn't additionally be mad. fantastically while you're nevertheless residing at abode with him. So merely quiet down, take a deep breath, its merely a textual content message.
report your father to the police. he does not have the right to hit you. this is not your fault, you didnt do anything wrong. you didnt give your number out and you didnt make the joke about sex. your father shouldnt even read you texts. you're 17, you dont have to be afraid of doing anything sexual with a guy. its not the end of the world and its good to experience these things.

I think you should just explain the whole thing to your dad. if he is always so abusive to you, you might want to tell the school counselor or police. i think your dad over reacted, he still should of reacted, but not to that extent. tell someone if things get worse with your dad. its illegal to abuse children
put a password on your messages so know one can read them only you :-) try and tell your mum what happened and it was a joke and she may tell your dad :-)
Uhhhhhh he shouldn't have read ur texts. Call the police.
call 911 and report your dad for beating you
