What did/do you hide from your parents?

[aphex_twin2002]

My parents where quite strict about what I should be spending my money on. I would always hide bank statments, phone bills and any "foolish" purchases from them. The day my dad found my DVD collection was not a good day. He practically did an audit on my expendature and gave a lecture on what I could and couldn't spend my money on.

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.

Sounds like we have the same parents.

Masturbation.

Smoking.
Doesn't sound like a big thing 'til you consider the fact I work in a cigar store and have a personal collection of around 7 - 8 hundred cigars.
Living out of home from the age of 16 seems to help...

Erh, well...

...porn?

doesn't count. Everyone's done that.

 

[Eleuthera]

Masturbation.

I would hope everyone hid this from their parents. Doing it in front of them seems a bit... odd.

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

I put less effort into faking emotions when I'm not around my mum.
I prefer her thinking I'm no different than any other hormone-riddled teenager.

Aside from that, though, nothing, really.

Weed, my pipe, a lighter, the absence reports, and I sometimes have to hide my report cards. Sometimes I get High 70s and a 60 is enough to please my Mom lol. I also have convinced her I only get 1 every year, when I get 2. So I can use the nicer one to show her.

Oh right and some hammers and little knives...just in case anyone breaks into my house, I'll have something to TRY and defend my self with =]

Skipping school to play Halo 2 when it first came out...

I didn't have to hide that much and I didn't have that much to hide. But I did delete the browser history...

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

My religious views. My family is very catholic on one side, and while not religious on the other side, they would not approve of me being a Satanist.

 

[cathou]

the fact that i was smoking and my homosexuality, and after they found out i had to hide that sometimes i was bringing a girl into my bedroom at night...

 

[jboking]

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

Yeah, this and any porn I had is what I hid from my parents.

"What were you guys doing?"
"Oh you know, hanging out."
"Why is your hair a mess?"
"Uhhh, she was showing me a new hairstyle."
"I don't like it."
"Noted."

World of warcraft, They don't want me to get addicted.

They're totally right to worry, I was in pretty deep. If I wasn't so poor I'd still be hiding it, instead I'm just waiting till after christmas.

 

[Klepa]

Used to be alcohol and tobacco.

Nowadays.. only the fact that I'm broke. It's never fun admitting that you still can't really support yourself.

Girlfriends, or girls i was interested in. For some reason my parents had this idea that if you started showing interest / getting frisky with a girl you're 'OMG GONNA SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH HER SHOCK SHOCK' because they are very 1960's and married young (about 19 or so) so they kind of still expect that beahviour of the rest of the world. They have not even heard of casual sex, or anything teenagers really get up to these days. Sex is a big taboo to them, even alcohol to some degree.

Oh, and porn. Definately porn. Last time i got caught (only once) with porn my mother flipped right out with this shocked YOU'RE LOOKING AT PORN YOU DIRTY MAN like it was some big shock that i was suddenly interested in titties.

Oh well, life goes on. I bet it can't be half as bad as those catholic parents who enforce strict rules on their kids and such or life under the bible-belt in America.

My shrine to John Wayne Gacy.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

My parents hate weapons of any kind. So everytime they come over I have to hid my bow and samurai sword. That and because they think archery is dangerous and that a zompocalypse will never happen.
.... Ok I'm done...

Same here, but i'm allowed these things.. xD

I dunno, I've hidden appointment slips and things like that a few times, that's about it.

 

[Pifflestick]

Well I hid the fact that liked diapers from my parents but they found out and I'm still hiding the fact that I'm bisexual from my father.
