If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.[9/2/08] [5/7/08] [16/7/08] [23/9/09] [28/5/10] [29/5/10] [3/6/10]

advice
my mom and dad are really strict. they dont want me dating or staying out with friends (guys or girls) till one in the morning.
but my bf (my parents dnt know he is) wants to go to vegas with me for 3-4 days. he already bought the tickets and its for august.
i want to go but what lie could i tell my parents so they let me go without them knowing im going to vegas and with a guy.
If your parents found out, do you realize how much trouble you would be in?
It's not like it's hard to conceal going to Vegas, anyway. You can't lie and say it's a school trip or something, because you need consent forms etc. and even if you did manage to wangle your way out of it, they'd still want contact numbers incase they couldn't get in touch with you.
Imagine the embarrassment of your parents phoning your friends/teachers/whatever and asking about you..
What if something happened to you while you were out there?
Your parents are doing this to protect you. As you get older, more responsible and more mature, your parents will become more lax with their strictness. (personally, I don't think they're even being strict at all. 1am IS late to be out. You didn't state your age, but I'm guessing you're mid teens.) Anyway, you aren't responsible or mature enough just yet, because you're thinking up a cunning plan to lie to them so you can go on holiday with a boyfriend they don't even know about.
Just stop and think about how far you're taking this.
You have two sensible options.
Tell them about your boyfriend, let them meet him, then ask about the holiday.
Or
Just flat out tell your boyfriend you can't go.
The tickets shouldn't have been ordered without your parents consent.
I know you probably really want to go, but sometimes you just have to stop and think. and do the right thing.
EDIT: In response to feedback: It wasn't a lecture. When you live under your parents house, you live under their rules. Might suck, but it's just how it goes I'm afraid.
(Rating: 5) thx but that didnt help me i dont need a lecture!!! and im 20 but i live with my parents they are just strict so why dont you just keep your lecture to yourself!
