They go through my phone and I have to leave my phone in their room at night. I do however have a boyfriend but I have to hide everything from them and block him when it's needed so that they don't see the message from him when they do have my phone. I talk about a lot of private stuff with my friends and I hate living with uncertainty about whether they will see it or not. I hardly can ever see my boyfriend or friends and it bothers me. Moving out is not an option and neither is talking to them. Please help me by giving me suggestions about what I can do? Reply to this Question

 Why is moving out not an option? You are an adult so start acting like one! Move out, get a job, live your life with friends and your boy friend, what is stopping you other than excuses??

 Moving out IS an option. You are legally an adult. Take control of your life.
In your post you deny yourself the two rational options, talking and moving out. What else is left? You surely aren't considering shooting them?
You could secretly marry. That would be one option but not one I would recommend. You could join the armed forces. That would get you out from under their control. You could leave the country.
It all comes down to standing up for yourself. Time to free yourself from the oppressive yoke of parents.
