<prompt> Human: I posted something before, but it got removed so Ill ask a more direct question. My deposit for the extra money that I get from scholarships is coming in the mail soon, and my parents 95 chance theyll open it might take the check before I get to it. Is there any way that they could put that money in their account?  <response>: One simple option - go to the post office and put a hold on your mail. You can do this for up to two weeks at a time. The postal service will hold all mail in your name. Its usually done when people are going on vacation, but Ive done it before when expecting big checks in the mail and was nervous about them sitting in the mail box, similar to your situation.
