Think of it this way- what if you got into a car accident on the way there or back? Gee... your parents think you are cruising on a train; they have no idea what so ever that you are in a car... Yah, the authorities would contact them if you were in a car accident, but that is not the point.
When your parents allow you to go on a trip, you need to give them the respect of knowing where you are going, where you will be staying, who you are staying and going with, and how you are getting there. See, that is how you keep their trust in you. Once you lose trust, it is very hard to regain it.
Besides, when they have to find out you lied by a source other than you, best of luck to you on being trusted to go on a trip like this again. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
imreal answered Thursday March 22 2007, 1:49 pm: Lieing to your parents is never the right way to do things. You have to realize that if you lie to them then you will most likely get caught. Every action has a consequence. Small lies turn into bigger ones and you dont want that to happen. Try to sit them down and compromise. You dont want to get mad at them because they are only saying no because they love and care about your safety. You always want to look at it from their point of view. Maybe it will help your decision.
Good luck [ imreal's advice column | Ask imreal A Question ]

You're gonna get caught eventually [they could catch you in the lie], so you might as well just come clean.
And if you don't, just convince your friends to take the train; so that you don't get in trouble. Besides, they might go for it because they might still wanna be able to hang out with you. [Your parents could not want you hanging around w. them anymore.] [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
