I wouldn't like it either, but depending on your age your Mother and Father may be legally responsible for you and in a lot of ways you have no "right" to privacy, especially when you live in their house (please do not take this as some suggestion to take off).
In many countries even adults do not have a hard and fast "right" to privacy, just specific laws that say when and how personal information can be shared, and rights vis-a-vis arbitrary search and seizure. Similarly, it's normally an offense to open someone else's regular mail, but that's not strictly about privacy, it's also about the integrity of the mailing system (so you can send cheques and contracts etc via mail). I'm not aware of any laws that make it illegal to view someone else's email, messenger, FaceBook, Twitter, etc.
And at any rate, the law would not interfere with a parent's historic right to snoop on their kids, even if they are assholes.
IIN its illegal to read email but its ok to spy on your kids?
