Today, I tried being rebellious for the first time in my life by sneaking out past my curfew. I tried to climb out of my bedroom window to stealthily leave the house. I ended up twisting my ankle when I tried to make my "great" escape. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I slipped out my bedroom window at night in an attempt to rebel against my parents. Then I realized that I have no friends and nowhere to go, so I tried to climb back in. I fell, broke my ankle, and laid in the dirt until my parents found me in the morning. FML
Today, I snuck out of the house to go to a party. When I got back later, I tried climbing back up the rope-ladder I'd set up earlier, leading back through my bedroom window. I was halfway up when it broke free. I sprained both my ankles and had to shamefully ring the doorbell to get back in. FML
Today, I was locked out of my house. With no other available option, I decided to try and ninja my way through a window. However, as it turns out, I would make a terrible ninja. I now have a sprained ankle and a broken window. FML
Today, since I was grounded, I tried to sneak out of my room to attend a party by climbing out the second-storey window and down the tree. I was unharmed, but I probably should have checked to see if my dad was in the garden before climbing down. FML
Today, I tried to sneakily leave my boyfriend's house at 3 a.m. without his parents knowing. I had a flat tire. FML
Today, I found out I can sneak out of my house... but not back in. FML
Today, my sister and I are never allowed to go out, and by out I mean even open the front door. Last night, I snuck outside. What did I do in my rare act of rebellion? I cut the grass. FML
Today, I was bitched out at 2 a.m. by my parents, for trying to "sneak out." I was sneaking out of my bedroom to take a crap. FML
Today, I snuck out to see my girlfriend in the middle of the night. When I got to her house, I decided to throw a rock at her window to wake her up. It broke a hole in the window. FML
Today, I was trying to sneak home from a party. Instead, I head-butted a glass door and woke my mother up. FML

Jesus have you guys never ever done something 'rebellious' in your youth? OP stated they don't normally do this, so rebelling just once is such a massive thrill. Lighten up a little.

Before you sneak out, at least think about the consequences. Worst case scenario you could be kidnapped and sold into slavery. At worse case scenario you could be killed or raped. At bad scenario you could be spotted by cops and your parents may be charged with neglect and you will go to a social worker.

I think OP deserves it less for sneaking out and more for not practicing her escape route in the light of day beforehand. But still deserves it.

Even legal adults have curfews while living with parents. Their house, their rules. When I lived with my dad, I was never allowed to use the lock on my bedroom door. I'm still not allowed to use it when I visit. Another rule of his and his girlfriend's was that I am never to answer the door without someone with me (my sister doesn't count). Again, that stands to this day for when I visit. I actually did that this summer to collect mail that may be important for them, and yes I got into trouble. Adult or minor, their house, their rules.

Not bullshit*. A lot of parents are too busy with their own thing or dont give much of a damn in this day in age. Thats why kids think they can do whatever the **** they want and then if they get into real shit and into legal problems they claim ¨but im just a kid, go easy on me.¨

I just say YDI for bad planning. Everyone needs a rebellion period in their lives or else baaaaaaaaaad stuff happens. And when you do too. There is no winning.

Op try again after a fortnightly may be when you are recovered completely and never let the rebellion spirit die under you. Next time follow the 3 P rule! Plan, Prepare and then Perform, YDI ;)

YDI. Don't try to break your curfew, or at least don't be stupid and use your bedroom window.

the bedroom window can work. the trick is to slowly and gently lower your body out until there is only a very small drop out or np drop at all

Nothing awesome happens before midnight.
