Teenagers will be teenagers, so you will probably sneak out at least once or twice during your teenage hood . Here are some tips on making that tricky night a secret from everyone else.

Steps

  1. 1
    Before you leave: Try to leave a door unlocked or window up before leaving. Don't forget to pack your pajamas. Be as trustworthy as possible before you sneak out so that no one will suspect what you're about to do.
  2. 2
    Know the alarm codes, so you don't wake the whole neighborhood.

  3. 3
    Have a treat ready for any dogs (if you have any) to keep them from waking someone up in your household.
  4. 4
    If you are locked out, it may mean someone is awake and noticed your absence.
  5. 5
    Check for lights and shadows as you are approaching your home.
  6. 6
    If you are in a car that's playing loud music, tell someone to turn it off about a block before your home as it might wake someone up.
  7. 7
    Maybe a sibling will let you in, although it will likely require some bribery/blackmail on your part.
  8. 8
    Take off your shoes outside, but keep your socks on, bare feet stick to hardwood floors! Change into your pajamas secretly before you enter the house.
  9. 9
    Take the most direct route to your bedroom, and stay near the walls. The places on a floor nearest the walls take a longer time to weaken, so there will be less creaking there. Goodnight!

Warnings

  • Parents and Guardians were young once as well. There is a good chance the tricks of the trade you think are new, are actually the same tricks they used, just in a different form.

  • If you get caught it's useless having a good excuse if your parents smell alcohol/cigarettes/anything else bad on you. Spend a minute outside before sneaking back in to get rid of smells, or bring gum or perfume.
