I'm actually 20 and I'm still living at home untill I transfer out of comm. college...my parents are pretty leaniant so I don't think it would be a big deal...they might be a little disapointed at first maybe tell me to throw it away(I don't think they'd ever notice it though because they never come upstairs and It's about to be shut off from the downstairs with a seperate door and staircase)(outside) so thats not really a big problem...my parents know my brother smokes...my mom even washed his bong one time and didn't know what it was until his girlfriend said something lol
