My daughter just got a new MacBook and she is using it to text. She noticed on that MacBook she can see my texts and her brothers texts as well. On my very old itouch I can also see everyone's texts? How can I fix it so my texts do not show up on these devises. We all have iphones and the same provider.
MacBook Pro, iOS 9.2.1
Set up Family Sharing to share purchases.
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
Create an Apple ID for each member. If necessary
Family Sharing and Apple ID for your child - Apple Support
Then use their own ID for all places, including Settings>Messages on iOS devices and Messages>Preferences>Accounts on the Mac.
I have my own account already. What is causing it to show up on her computer and my itouch but not on any of our phones? Is it because of imessaging and wi-fi?

They must still be accessing the same iCloud ID.
No, wifi has nothing to do with it. The email addresses/phone numbers listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive on iOS devices and Messages>Preferences>Accounts>Settings>You can be Reached at must then be the same between two devices
