hey guys
look im pretty soon 15
im thinkin about gettin into graff
but this though just hit me. my parents r gonna figure it out, especially if i start shipping paint from the web. and theyr not gonna be happy.

know do you parent knows that u graf and if they do how did u told them or how did they figured out? did they got mad

what r im gonna say to them if they finds out. and if possible how i am gonna keep it as a secret (know this is somthin that i dont like to do but..)

[Mistah Bobble]

you dont necessarily have to paint ish on the streets though. will they get angry if you practice in the house? like getting huge pieces of paper, hanging them on a wall, and painting.. if you are gonna place streetbombs and ish, when they least expect it, go out and bomb in the streets. that is if your parents allow you to have the paint to practice in your house.

[flobotopics]

you got two choices of what ya can do.

1) tell em and see if they get mad

2) try to keep it secret

if they find out they arn't gonna rat ya out, plus its up to you know one else will give ya advice on this. its all up to you

[uti]

got busted.....ye they were mad, but us hunt be bothered wot ur parents think, now my parents kno there kinda supportive

MY MOMS RATTING ME OUT LOL!!! AHHAHAH

[kt_babe]

when my rents found out.. they kinda jus guessed.. i mean they knew i was always drawin crap in my sketch books.. an they knew one of my older bro's were already into it.... so when i started leavin the house with full bookbags an commin back with empty ones with more an diff colors of paint on my hoodies.. yanno... they arnt rediculously unconsious lol all they really said to me was "listen.. we appricate u like to paint... jus dont be stupid and dont get caught.." etc. they don really like it but they don stop me. they encourage me at home an shit actually lol i dunno its kinda weird, i thought my mom woulda had a stroke or some shit like that... so ya never kno, they might not care all that much or they might jus rip right into ya.... i say tell em so when they say somethin like "why would u do that?" jus be like "mom..u should be happy that i didnt lie to you about it... " an put on the guilt trip lol naw jk but yanno... like flobot said, its up to you what ya do..

good luck kiddo.

back when i was just starting to write, i remember it was pretty obvious i was into it, seeing as how everything i owned was covered in (shitty) handstyles, but it was kinda like if the subject didn't come up, my mom would just ignore it. then one day she walked in on me making a mop and she gave me the whole "you're disrespecting people/society/laws/anybody else that gives a crap" speech and yelled for about half an hour, then she kinda stopped caring, and still doesn't. now that i'm actually making money off of art (urban clothing line...not quite graffiti-related), she's way more supportive of any art that i do. but it doesn't matter, i'm an adult and she realizes this. if i fuck up, it's on my head, not hers.

[ill_logik]

why would ur parent even care aslong u aint in a gang its all good..well mayb bc ma parent dont care if i paint or not so perty much they buy me da paint lol they actually like it bc atleast im not into gang shit n im not into drugz lol weed is goood for u lol naw why should u even tell them if they ask well tell them dat ur into it lol dat its wat they gonna do ground u bc ur into graf lol u know u dont hafta order paint online u can always get sum1 to buy it for u lol..well iono

[MC. SIK]

say that ur just gonna blackbook, or if u get spraypaint jus say that ur only gonna find legal walls to spray

[Riff's]

hehe my father knows and he's like: "I don't support it, but i'm not gonna stop you either. Enjoy your youth and don't let your mother find out!" I wonder who's gonna be in more shit when she finds out, me or him?!

[Reflekt]

my parents know i graf on paper with markers n ish, but they dont know i write on walls etc. its pretty easy to keep a secret. buy some shit clothes with ya poo change pocket money n always wear them when ya graf. that way ya mum wont question u when u get paint on ya new $50 t shirts. also try n have ya hands washed b4 ya come home from graffin. taps in parks, ppls nature strips. that sed, practice hard n get crackin

peace

you don't have'ta order paint online to begin with.. what i do is go to Walmart and peel the barcode sticker off of the cheap 99 cent brand and then put it on a rusto can.. then you get rusto for under one dollar.. which is even better than ordering from the net to start with.. but i am not saying that rusto is better than montana etc... i'm just saying to start with rusto is better if you can pull it off at Walmart... and oh yeah make sure you find a dumb looking cashier who doesn't pay attention to what he/she scans... happy painting... i'm glad to see another beginner starting up... we must concur all surfaces ....

[Riff's]

haha man living in sa does has it's perks... paints cheap and they don't give a shit who buys it as long as you pay... Oh and yeah word to what cran said, glad to see someone new getting involved.

oncei got my rents to scan some graff pics in i think they knew

my excuse was that i didnt actually do it on the streets, just stuck to paper. They bought till i got arrested 3 months later lol.
