Do you live on the second floor? Are you dying to go to a party / rave / whatever fun but your strict parents won't let you? Here is the perfect solution. If your parents are going to sleep very late and they're downstairs, plan to sneak out the window.
Steps
Step 1. If there isn't a sturdy tree right outside your window, go to the garage or warehouse when your parents aren't home
Look for anything that can help you drop out of the window (e.g. long, thick ropes, high ladders, anything that works like a rope or ladder). You should only use the rope if you know its strength; a safe limit for most ropes is 2.5cm thick for 68kg. Test your limits - better be sure than apologize later.
Step 2. Bring the rope - or rope-like object - into your room and hide it
Test the ladder: put it under the window. It will work if you can crawl out of the window and onto it with confidence. Place the ladder or ladder-like object somewhere in the yard, where it can be easily reached and hidden.
Step 3. Try to see if your parents and other family members are asleep (preferable), or if they are in their bedrooms with the doors closed
You may even be able to sneak out the front door. If they aren't asleep and you can't wait and you have a sturdy tree right outside the window, climb the tree. If you have the above but don't have a tree, follow the rest of these steps.

Make sure you have at least one friend who is willing to come to your house to stay under the window in case you fall. Two-three friends would be great, but make sure they are strong and that you can rely on them to arrive silently and at the designated time. Tell him to bring a flashlight.
Sneak Out of Your Second Story Window Step 3Bullet1 -
Examine your room. If there is a sturdy table, chair, bed etc. near the window, use it. If not, silently move one of these objects. Tie the long rope around the legs of this piece of furniture (around how many legs the length of the rope allows). Each leg should have a distinct knot, and the first leg should have at least three very tight knots. Make sure everything is securely fastened, and that the rope hangs as far as your friends can catch you. Slowly and silently open the window, pull out the screen and drop the rope. Put on gloves so the rope doesn't burn your hands. Make sure your friends are ready, get in position and go down the rope.

Step 4. Tell your friends to go get the ladder from the hiding place and put it under the window
These friends should know your yard well enough and be very quiet. Put on your sports shoes or go barefoot; socks will make you slip. Invite your friends to keep the ladder legs steady and crawl out the window, then down the ladder. Once you are safely down, hide the ladder somewhere nearby.
Step 5. Get away from home or get picked up by someone a block away, or push your car at least 100 feet and go enjoy your big night
Step 6. Go back at least an hour before the time you expect your parents to wake up
It will be easier to go through the front door. If doing this is unwise (you have a large dog sleeping downstairs, alarms etc.), then use the same method you used to get out.
- Put the ladder back under the window, willow it, tell your friends to put it back in the hiding place. Put the screen back, close the window.
- Tell your friends to hoist you onto their shoulders and climb up the window. Untie the rope, put the screen back in place and close the window.
Step 7. Ask one of your friends to let you out by saying that you need to study, do your homework, do a project, etc
Advice
- If you are worried that someone will hear you, pad the bottom of your door and the doors of your family members with a thick blanket or pillow to reduce the sound entering or leaving the rooms.
- If you are sneaking up noisy stairs, go slowly and wait a few seconds after the loudest noises, to hear the sound coming from every other room (like someone waking up).
- You can also try sneaking out to your friends when your parents aren't home, so you don't go wrong.
- Climb out the window, hang on the windowsill, then drop. You will have less chance of getting hurt than jumping straight out the window.
- The best way to tie a rope will be to put your weight on it and follow a figure eight. Look for external links for a tutorial.
- If your window has a screen on the outside, try taking it out the day before.
- It will be useful to have a partner on the ground in any case.
- Don't reveal its presence.
- If you need to climb a tree, use cleats if you have them.
- Do not fall!
- Scaffolding is also good for descending.
- The chimney can be a good way to go ashore.
Warnings
- Nosy light sleeper brothers. These pests can ruin your entire night. Make sure they are really asleep or have no intention of bothering you for the rest of the night.
- It could be extremely easy for a burglar to enter if he were somehow aware of a rope dangling outside an empty room window, all night long.
- Be careful if you climb a tree. Someone might hear the rustle of leaves and you don't want to be trapped outside the window; it would also be a good idea to have at least one or two friends to help you escape.
- Pay attention when you climb out the window, you may fall and get hurt.
- Animals that make noise. If you have to go out of your room at any time, make sure these animals are certainly sleeping in the room of one of your family members.
