Speaking as a parent, I d advise you to not lie to your parents. You DO want them to trust you, don t you? You earn trust by being responsible, honest and trustworthy. And, remember that things have a way of getting back to your parents.... What happens if something goes wrong in your trip? You never know. And, if you re young enough [and immature enough] that you have to sneak around and lie, then you re probably not old enough to be going out-of-state with other adults, or, god forbid, other kids.Do you know how much of a madhouse Times Square is on New Year s Eve? Do you know your way around NYC? How are you going to get there and back?Just don t do it.
How old are you? If you are a minor and an adult is taking you then they can be charged with kidnapping if they don t have your parents permission.
