Im 15. i bought and pay for my own phone isn't it illegal for my parents to take it away and go through it?

While you may have purchased your own phone, laws regarding ownership and privacy can vary by location. Generally, if you are still a minor, your parents may have legal rights to the phone and its contents, as they are responsible for you. However, it’s important to discuss boundaries and privacy with them, as open communication can help address your concerns.
