Aug 12, 2023 at 11:03 comment added Dennis Hackethal Imogen, the answer to the title question is 'NO'. Your parents are being wildly abusive. Locking you in your room and keeping you prisoner is not okay. They're using dog-training methods on you and fail to treat you as a person. Your parents suck and are causing you great damage.

Jul 27, 2023 at 7:54 comment added Pastychomper thanks Monica The OP didn't specify that there was no way to escape in emergency. Most of the interior locks I've seen weren't very secure, and would really only serve as a reminder or a quick check that the door hadn't been forced.
Jul 27, 2023 at 4:29 comment converted from answer Jetpack Locking someone in a room is a safety hazard. You need an easy way to exit if there is a fire or another emergency. In the U.S., it's illegal for a bedroom to even have a lock that can people inside. I would expect similar laws in other countries. I'm not a parent, so I can't say what is the right punishment, but locks are the wrong punishment. If they want to ground you for a week, there are ways to do that without a lock.
