What does your personal space mean to you?
Question:I'm only 14 so i have a "room" in the house.It's my favourite place in the whole house that i do EVERYTHING in. What does your personal space (room or apartment) mean to you?
Answers:
It's my quiet spot, my hideaway. I have my TV and DVD player in there, a comfortable place to sit, access to music! It's where I go to be alone, which I need very much sometimes! When that door is closed, it's "Abandon hope all ye who enter here!"
personal space is as important as food and drink
Everybody needs some personal space, a place where they can be alone, a place they can decorate to make them feel relaxed while they're in it. At your age, though, please keep in mind that your space is in your parents' house. Not knowing anything about your parents, I don't know if they totally respect your privacy or go in there whenever they want to. If you work at keeping it neat and clean, they're more likely to leave you alone and respect your area. Be respectful of the fact that you have a small area for yourself, many kids have to share it.
Yes it is important,we need peace at time's.
it means peace and quiet to do my own thang without ppl gettin in my face...heaven.
When I lived with my parents I never appreciated the importance of having my own room. I have lived with my husband for 10 years now and although we share a whole house, I really miss having a room of my own to do with as I wish. I suppose I feel that my car is my own space - I can personalise it, sing as loud as I want, go where I want and control the environment.
I'm the parent so any room in the house in mine and there isn't anything that is off-limits. However, on that note, I have always tried to respect a child's personal space. I just have a "Enter" or "Do Not Disturb" sign hung on the kids doors. But, then again, I have never allowed kid's friends upstairs. There is a perfectly good family room they can use and I am not constantly worried about kids "roaming" around where I can't see them. We all like to trust other people's kids, but that isn't always the case. I have found kids rummaging through draws of dressers before and this is totally unacceptable. Your own personal space in your room is OK as long as the parent feels it is not because of "secrets" or stuff that shouldn't be done in the first place. I've never been given any reason not to trust, so personal space has always been a freebie around here.
