What did/do you hide from your parents?

[DoctorWhat]

That I had sex at 13

I suppose my minor depression... Put simply, I used to have terrible self esteem issues, which drove me to feel that everyone hated me. I kept that from them, but they started to pick up on it, and asked me about it all the time. Eventually, I 'fessed up and they were really supportive, but I could tell they were just trying to make sure I didn't off myself.

It's OK, I got over it, and once I started taking weed it easy, I found life to be much more enjoyable.

(does it show that I just discovered strikethrough? Fun Times.)
(in case you didn't get it, the strikethrough'd things are jokes...)

I hide my life from my family as best I can. Not really because I have anything TO hide, I just don't like people knowing what's going on with me. Makes me paranoid.

The stain on the carpet where I dropped a small, open, tin of modellers paint.

strategic placing of chairs and clothes and about a weeks worth of crayoning over the stain after it had dried, in the same colour as the carpet, yielded success and save me getting grounded!

they only noticed when after repeat hoovering over a period of a few months, uncovered the crayon layer and my demise!

Oh what a good question lol. I'll tell you as long as you dont blab to my mum.
A massive collection of 18 rated games,
Loads of porn, (the last time i got caught with it i didnt hae the net on my pc for a year!)
Fags,
and to to it all of a lil bit of marijuana.
Thank go for my loose flawboard that she doesnt know about!

Bad report cards, and in my house that meant any grade below a B. C's and D's were punishable by grounding and F's earned you corporal punishment. So four times a year I would earn a month without video games and if I was really having it bad, I'd get belted to boot.

Only once did I manage to come home with an unmarred report card. 1 A and 5 B's. I was told that this was still not good enough, but at least I didn't get grounded.

I feel your pain, sounds just like my dad.
The only things i hid were progress reports (that i sometimes forged my parents signiture when they had to be taken back to school), and a copy of God of War when I was 15 that my friend gave me.

Nothing, no bad grades or bad drug habbits, does porn on the computer count?

 

[Cilliandrew]

As far as they know, I never showed any interest in girls. O how wrong they are, but I don't care.

I'm in the same boat. I never had any desire to tell my parents about any relationships or anything that i had. I don't know why, really. I was just not comfortable with it.

I'm positive my parents thought i was gay up until i was 23 and my mom found a pair of panties that had gotten mixed in with my clothes in the wash. The relief on my mother's face told me everything i needed to know.

Im riding my bike while listening to my iPod. I know its not a big secret but my parents gets pissed if they notice me doing it :S

Lol my mom gets pissed at me for driving my motorbike and listening to music, but for riding your bike and listening to music? Thats hardcore

 

[esperandote]

Pr0n, and hentai.

Other than that the fact i used to make graffity, until the cops caugth me and she had to pay bail.

 

[Woodsey]

My internet history.

 

[Gmano]

Never had to hide anything i guess, when i was 16-17 i did admitedly hide occasional booze for a party i'd be going to etc. I think with a drinking age of 18, thats when most people will do that.

By the way, is the drinking age across all of America 21, or is it different state to state?

The state has the power to set its own.... But if they set less than 21 then they do not get any highway funding....

OT... Fireworks. (but they prolly wouldn't care...)

 

[Low Key]

I hid report cards around the 10th grade because I stopped caring about homework, even though I did earn passing grades because I'd still do in class stuff and ace tests. I started smoking weed in 7th grade, amongst others later on. In extracurricular activities, my friends and I would do a lot of dumb shit, sometimes criminal. For some reason, I always had the inherent need to learn the hard way.

Since then, I have told my parents about everything. I always felt like shit when I lied about what I had been doing. The only thing I do nowadays is smoke a little weed, but I haven't bought any for months since my main focus is on college.

 

[Joshroom]

My utter indiffernece for all mankind.

I kid, I kid. Um, probably the worst thing I had to hide from them was my friends weed stash which I'd ended up with after a party. Those 3 days were so incredibly tense as I waited for my parents to somehow sniff it out.

21 everywhere.

OT: I hid and still do hide the things I do with my girlfriend.

Play cards?

 

[latenightapplepie]

My homosexuality.

This.

However I don't have my own computer, which is just peachy.

 

[Lullabye]

my games. i've been grounded for the past three yeats straight and I'm not supposed to play. So my portable psp is my best friend...

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

I recently got a small tattoo on my upper shoulder which they don't know about, but I doubt they'll even care. They're extremely laid back. I had GTA 3 when it came out at like age ten, and I played it with my dad all the time. They know I'm not stupid enough or emotionally disturbed enough to actually copy what happens. I'm also very glad they're not religious nut-jobs, because they don't care if I have sex as long as I use protection(not that I have or ever will). Plus I don't smoke and when I drink I stay at a friends, so I really have nothing to hide. Well, except porn but they'd probably only make fun of me and laugh if they found it.

 

[Malodrik]

I hid my "Water pipes" when I was younger, and the same with my cigarettes. My mother also had a large distaste for the GTA games, so I hid the ones I owned in PC game boxes.

 

[Kl4pp5tuhl]

After I bought a game for the Neo Geo AES, I hid it for some time out of fear that they will scold me for it being too expensive. Showed it to them a few months later though, and they were cool about it.
