Question

How can I hide a party from the neighbors?

Community Answer

You can't be too loud or have too many cars in the driveway, or the party will be obvious. You could have a few friends over and play some music and have some refreshments instead of having a huge party.

Question

What if I have nobody else to help me set up the party?

Community Answer

Ask a few friends, a neighbor you know well, or another family member that can keep a secret. If none of this is possible, you'll just have to set up by yourself.

Question

Would it be better to throw the party inside or outside?

Community Answer

It is probably better to hold it inside since you don't want the parents to find out. Neighbors are less likely to hear it and less likely to see it and report back to them if it's indoors.

Question

What do I do if my parents never leave me home alone even though I am 18?

Community Answer

Party at a friend’s house. If you can’t do that, it will be very difficult to throw a party. Or forget about hiding it and just invite your parents to your party!

Question

What if your parents have cameras?

Adeline Gollup

Community Answer

Consider covering them up with tape, but not for too long, or your parents will get suspicious. If you choose to make this choice, only cover up the cameras that would see your activity. If you can't reach them, consider using a stool or ladder.

Question

Is it a good idea to use the pool in my backyard for a secret party?

Adeline Gollup

Community Answer

No. It would be very easy to spot, even at nighttime. Unless your parents are away for a very long time, it wouldn't be a great idea to have a pool party without permission. Even if they're away, your neighbors might tell them when they get back.

Can a 16 year old move out/host a party without parents/neighbors knowing?

Adeline Gollup

A 16-year old kid can't move out without his/her parents and/or parents knowing. But you can host a party that way if you really want to.

Question

What if I don't have any neighbors and everyone is asleep and only me and my guests are awake, can we have a party outside?

Adeline Gollup

Community Answer

Sure, but make sure it's not very loud. You could wake up someone and they would find out.

Question

How do I discourage my children from doing this?

Lesley Ochiora

Community Answer

Teaching children responsibility at an early age can contribute to good decisions later in life. Your children see you as a role model, your decisions in life can affect them. If your child goes to school, peer pressure can also work towards irresponsible and carelessness. To be safe, make sure your child is hanging around with the right crowd, because their behavior can be influenced by bad friends. Also, watch for behavioral changes.
