Leaving my private stuff (diaries) behind

Basically, the short story is I am going abroad for a year , maybe slightly longer and so I am limited with luggage space.
Over the course of growing up, I have accumulated diaries I attempted to write, some which have some dark stuff in. I don't want to take them travel with me, nor do I think I have the strength to chuck them out for good. They remind me of good times too, as well as bad. The only option left is to leave them behind, at my parents.
I am so scared they will find them. They have never gone rummaging in my room as far as I can tell, but still, if these were read, well, it'd be a mess. Any recommendations what I could do? I am at a loss.
I also have a corset/pants/suspender set.... and again, no idea what to do with that. Kind want to keep it (cos it is practically band new nd not because I use it), but it may have to go. Not something I want my parents/sibling seeing either.
I have a "good girl nothing is wrong image" perfected with them!
Advice?! I didn't want to post on here but really can't see what to do.

Or anybody you know that you trust that you could leave the stuff and they could hang onto it for you?
My mum actually bought me one specifically for that purpose when I was 13 or so and my sister found and read my diary.
Similarly with the underwear, if you suitably bury it amongst other clothing then chances of it ever getting touched are pretty slim - unless your sibling or parents are likely to want to borrow some of your clothes.
That, or can you drop a small box/bag of stuff with a friend?
