Your own space
As everybody remembers, when we were children, we didn't have a right to our privacy.

Everybody Needs Some Privacy

Lourdes Joza from Ecuador

In everybody's life there is always the necessity to have at least a little privacy. It can be privacy in your personal life, at work, or at school. It seems like even though you are a very social person who likes joining big groups, there is always a moment in which you need to have your own space and privacy.

Privacy is something very important for many people, but why is it so important for them? I think it is because privacy is related to being mature or adult. Why? As everybody remembers, when we were children, we didn't have a right to our privacy. Our parents used to decide almost everything for us, even our clothes and what to eat. Our opinion didn't have too much value at that time, and it was impossible to hide something from them.

But as the years pass, and we start to be more mature, we want to have more independence. Our parents also start to let us make our own decisions. Then we feel great because we feel like we are starting to become an adult and finally have our privacy. Of course, when we are teenagers, privacy is over things that are valuable, but only for us.

I think invading the privacy of someone is like a crime. Everybody has their own things that are important only for them. I'm a very curious person, but I don't like to violate the rights of anybody because I know how important it is for everybody, and I wouldn't like anyone to invade my privacy. Maybe you can't have too many material things, but privacy is something free that I think everybody has to respect.
