I'm 16 and my mom doesn't give me privacy?

Would you consider this "bad parenting?":

I get out of the shower, and my mom is in my room on the computer. I understand the computer is in my room, but do I not have the right to get dressed in my own room? Shes like "Go get dressed somewhere else" I'm 16, not 5. This isn't the first time it happened. When my sister had this room, she would always get out when she came out of the shower. I told my sister she was being annoying and my sister said "Leave her alone, the computer IS in YOUR room". It made me so mad. Why am I the bad person in this situation?? It makes no sense.

Your ideas?

Update:

No I do not walk around naked. My bedroom is down the hall from my room. My mom should have the common sense to get out. I wear a towel.

Secondly, I don't like bringing my clothes in there cause its too steamy to put on clothes in there. And what if I want my OWN room to get dressed in?

    I was gonna say the same thing as Holly. :P Maybe you could move the computer and put it in the lounge or some thing. That way your mom won't be in your room and you'll be able to have your own privacy! :)

    maybe u should move your computer in another room instead of yours or u should buy a lock for your room that only open from the outside when using a key but if u got one of those bathrooms connecting to your room then get a lock for inside your bedroom... thats what i do...

    Bring clothes you want to change into in the bathroom with you. Why are you walking around the house half naked soaking? I'm sorry but I have to agree with your mom on this one.
