when i was a teenager , i once snuck out of the house at night and did n't get back home until 4 am . when i got back my mom was waiting for and had been worried sick all night . did you get in much trouble ? i was allowed to kind of run wild , so never had any issues with staying out till sunrise . not huge trouble . i was generally a pretty good kid , and it was n't like i had gone out drinking as i have never enjoyed the taste of alcohol . she told me i just needed to be honest with her and check in when i was going to be out late . i still felt bad about it worrying her . it 's sweet that she was waiting up for you .
Sneaking out of the house at night without informing parents and returning very late caused the feeling of shame.
