I need some tips/advice on sneaking out?!?

Question

Ok well I'm going to attempt sometime to sneak out of my house to go and hang with one of my older buddies. And i want to make sure i don't get caught in a lie so i need to think this through and i need some advice on how to lie to my parents. Cause i have never lied to my parents before and they trust me a lot and i don't want to ruin that by getting caught.

I was thinking about telling them I'm going over a friends house but instead im gonna hang with someone else. But idk yet cause i hv never done this b4, and yea i no its dangerous but i live like in the middle of nowhere so kidnappin is really rare where i live.

Ok, first off consider the best and worst outcomes if you go and don't go. If you don't go, the trust you have earned in the past years is maintained, though you may not be satisfied with staying in the house. If you go, then you might be satisfied though bad things could happen due to you being out like accidents, kidnappings, or simply being grounded. Don't leave your judgment to chance. Seriously consider these. A good compromise would be to just ask your parents or let them meet the guy as it still gets you what you want and what they want, without any trust lost.

If you find for whatever reason sneaking out is worth it, you can try telling them that you are going somewhere and supply a reason, and then go to your desired place. This works best if you call before you come back and then arrive on a set curfew so they won't be suspicious. If this isn't what you had in mind, then you can try sneaking back in through the entrance that people are by the least. You can try coming up with multiple options and peeking through the window to make sure they aren't insight or verify which room they are in. This entrance may be a window, a front or backdoor, or even something else. Just make sure you have a way in (as in that the backdoor will be unlocked or you have a key, or that the windows aren't painted shut and can be opened from the outside). Also make sure that the transition from inside to outside is smooth, quick, and quiet. Then you can kick off your shoes, hop in bed, and be watching TV so your parents won't know how long you were home (if you do so, just make sure the TV is at a low volume and the lights are off as not to direct any attention as to the sudden turning on of lights).

So, you can weigh the consequences and see what you want to do, and then proceed with doing it. If you need more tips, read this article:

Answer 2

Just be honest with them.  They need to respect your needs.  They need to reward you for being a good son.  Tell them where you are going and what time you will be back, and some contact info.  If they are not cool with it, they dont appriciate you and the good son that you are.

Answer 3

Is there a reason why you would have to sneak out to hang with this older buddy?  Why can't you just ask permission?

I'd advise against lying to your mom and dad about this and my guess is that you don't even know this "older buddy" that well, otherwise why mention it being dangerous and mention kidnapping?

Just do yourself a favor, don't do it.

Answer 4

Your older "buddy" would not want you to risk losing your parents trust if he were an actual friend.  Also, think about it.  Why does this older person hang out with you in the first place?  You probably don't hang with guys who are a couple years younger than you, why would you?  Often older guys hang out with younger ones to feel power over them and talk them into stuff and just use them.  Don't let yourself be used by anyone!

Do your parents never let you hang out with friends?  Why do you need to sneak out?  I have a teenage son and I would be so upset if he were considering this.  I love him to death and would be terrified if I discovered him missing at night.  I would much rather he talk to me and we could work out something if he felt he didn't get enough time with friends.

Answer 5

Don't do it.  Your parents trust you and that should mean the world to you.  Never, ever lie to your parents.  You are their child for gods sake, they love you.  If you have never lied to your parents before why start now when you will need them the most later.  I repeat do not lie to your parents.  This relationship is not worth it and it is very risky.  A lot of things could go wrong.  What if you need to call them for help or something, they will be devastated.  I don't think you are a very nice person to want to do such an evil deed.  Grow up kid.  Life sucks.
