Most parents will do anything to protect their kids. Naturally, this means setting some restrictions. Sometimes however, they can become too over-protective, albeit well-intentioned, to the point of giving them almost no freedom. In these scenarios, the child might obey their parent's every rule. Other times, they just become better at hiding things from their parents. This can go to even higher extremes in fiction, where a child may very well have a secret other life Demon Slaying or as a magical warrior, though their secrets could also be much more mundane. In any case, the child is keeping secrets from their over-protective parent.
Is often Truth in Television. Compare to Preacher's Kid. May result from My Beloved Smother, Fantasy-Forbidding Father, Knight Templar Parent, or Safety Worst. If the parent eventually discovers their child's secrets, it may result in Anti-Smother Love Talk or Calling the Old Man Out. For a tamer variant, you've got Dating What Daddy Hates.

Lane Kim on Gilmore Girls has a whole secret life her extremely religious Education Mama knows nothing about. Over the years, Lane evolved an impressively complex system of hiding places, alibis, alliances and various schemes to allow her to talk to boys, listen to secular music, and wear modern clothes without her mother's knowledge.

The Simpsons: Subverted — it is eventually revealed that Reverend Lovejoy is an utter Jerkass of a parent that refuses to acknowledge Jessica as a regular human being that seeks attention and love. As a result, when Jessica recites her long criminal record in an attempt to draw his attention, he just places his hands over his ears and sings church songs so he won't hear her as he runs out of the room.

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Reynir's parents don't like the idea of him leaving home, to the point that they lied to him about the extent to which he was allowed to travel internationally by the law until one of his brothers set him straight. The first time Reynir went to another country, he left his home during the night. The second time, he claimed that he was simply going to visit another town. That happens to have a port.

In Making Money, Moist von Lipwig recalls that his childhood meals often included offal, which was "exactly the sort of food that one should serve to kids if one wanted them to grow up skilled in the arts of bare-faced lying, sleight of hand, and camouflage."

Static Shock: Richie's father is a strict parent, as well as a visibly racist man. So it's revealed in the episode "Sons of the Fathers" that Richie's kept his friendship with Virgil a secret from his father (mostly a lie by omission, though, as he mentioned Virgil but never told his dad that Virgil was African-American). Downplayed in that Richie's mother seems a lot less strict (as well as not racist), and is perfectly fine with Richie and Virgil being friends.

Turning Red: Part of Mei's growth throughout the film has her skirting around her normally strict schedule and expectations placed by her mother Ming. Even before the panda pushed her to be more daring, she attempts to hide away her romantic drawings of Devon and it is implied that everything she says to her is at least subconsciously edited to please her or fit her expectations. After getting the panda, Mei lies about her afterschool whereabouts, her diminishing school performance, and sneaking off to Tyler's party.

Everybody Loves Raymond: In the episode "The Disciplinarian", Robert and Ray reveal that both of them had often snuck out after curfew as teenagers without ever getting caught, despite Marie and especially Frank's strict rules (Ray would take the car and always refill the gas so Frank wouldn't notice, and Robert once stole a bottle of Frank's liquor by inching the padlocked cabinet away from the wall and popping out the back panel). Their reminiscing, however, leads to Ray feeling helpless when he thinks about setting rules for his own children, given that all his own parents' rules did was make him and Robert better at sneaking around them.

This is the main issue in Lilith and Nero's relationship in The Silver Raven. Lilith is incredibly protective and downright smothering regarding her son, refusing to allow him to do anything that could be perceived as dangerous. As a result, Nero frequently sneaks out to fight the demons of the isles' wilderness both for fun and to vent his frustrations. This later extends to him sneaking out to spend time with his aunt, who's far more open-minded and hands off than Lilith. Eda even tells Lilith that her overprotective, suffocating parenting is the main reason why Nero's so sneaky to begin with.

In Bend It Like Beckham, the plot is fueled by Jess's conservative Indian parents forbidding her from playing football, and her finding increasingly ridiculous ways to sneak out of the house to play on a semi-professional girl's team without them finding out.

In Dead Poets Society, Neil Perry's father talks to Dean Nolan and Neil is no longer the assistant editor for the school annual. Later on, Neil forges a letter that makes it look like his dad and Dean Nolan gave permission to participate in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at nearby Henley Hall. After Neil's father finds out, he orders him to quit the play, but Neil finds a way to perform in the play, believing his dad is taking a business trip to Chicago, only for his dad to arrive at Henley Hall and drag him home to enlist him in military school. Feeling as though he has no other escape, Neil is Driven to Suicide.

Daichi Fujiwara from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is shown to be very strict with his two younger daughters due to him not wanting them to end up like their eldest sister Toyomi, and forbids them from having access to things like video games or romance manga. Both of them have developed some very weird quirks as a result of this (Chika is a compulsive cheater when it comes to board games and Moeha is Cute and Psycho).

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Toph Beifong's parents were over-protective and strict with their "helpless little blind girl"...which resulted in her becoming the reigning champion of an underground earthbending arena behind their backs, and ultimately running away to teach Aang earthbending (she is blind, but her earthbending is so strong she can easily pass for being sighted if she isn't asked to read). It takes her saving her father and his employees from a cave-in and an iron mine for him to recognize her worth (note that this is after she invents metalbending and helps take down the Fire Nation).
The Legend of Korra: Inverted by Toph Beifong, who wanted her kids to have the freedom she never had. As a result, one of her daughters falls in with a criminal gang and the other becomes a By-the-Book Cop, Ironically, the first daughter manages to get a good life, but the second one greatly resents Toph and accuses her of Parental Abandonment. Even worse, Toph's grandchild becomes a villain still resentful of his mother, so it seems that for the entire maternal Beifong's lineage, the Freudian Excuse is a running theme.

Steven Universe:
Connie Maheswaran has strict parents who punish her harshly for rule-breaking, and as a result she kept her activities with the Crystal Gems a secret, including her sword-fighting lessons with Pearl. In the episode "Nightmare Hospital", Connie's mother finds her sword and is horrified. Connie confesses that she's been fighting monsters with Steven for the past year, finally telling her how much she hates her parents' over-protective and restrictive nature, shocking her mother. In the end, Connie agrees to stop keeping secrets from her parents and her mother agrees to loosen up on the rules, and they hug it out.
In season 5, we discover Pink Diamond had a similar relationship with her fellow Diamonds. Despite being much more assertive than Connie, Pink was still undermined by Yellow and Blue, considered to be her main parental figures. As a result, she is forced to keep her alter-ego as Rose Quartz and her visits to Earth, which is strictly forbidden by the Diamonds, a secret. When they refuse to let her give up her colony and end up taking control of the planet away from her because she won't complete it, Pink ends up secretly betraying them and faked her death with Pearl's help. Ultimately, the Diamonds are still unaware of Pink's true fate for thousands of years until the end of "Reunited".

Madison in turn is skilled enough to steal the ORCA, sneak out through a ventilation shaft, and walk a few miles on foot without being detected by her mother or by the murderous mercenaries her mother has been working with until she's far away.

Godzilla vs. Kong: Madison is now living with her father Mark, who cuts her out of Monarch's investigation into Godzilla's attacks entirely, wanting her to stay at home and in school. How does Madison respond? By getting a fellow high schooler to steal his brother's truck so she can sneak out of home in it and break into Apex Cybernetics' old factory herself. Bonus points in the novelization, where Mark tried to have Madison's aunt keep her under watch to stop her from disobeying him, but Madison timed her jailbreak between her father's departure and her aunt's arrival.

Tangled: The Series: Cassandra is the adoptive daughter of the Captain of the guard and so she is a Military Brat. The standards Cassandra's father sets for her are higher then for everyone else and he prefers Cassandra works as a Lady-In-Waiting rather than let her join the Royal Guard. Cassandra wants to have adventures and sneaks princess Rapunzel out of the castle to see some strange rocks, kicking off the plot. The first season shows Cassandra helping Rapunzel getting into adventures, the King finds out and sends Cassandra to a convent. In the third season of the series, this backfires spectacularly: Cassandra discovers she is the daughter of Mother Gothel, who kidnapped princess Rapunzel when she was a child and committed Parental Abandonment to Cassandra; Cassandra becomes the last season Arc Villain and is considered the biggest threat the Kingdom has ever faced.

Most incarnations of the TMNT depicts Splinter as a loving but strict parent, sometimes going to extremes if he believes it will keep his sons safe (such as refusing to let the Turtles leave their home whenever a serious threat (such as the Shredder) appears). This often leads to the Turtles sneaking out to deal with a Monster of the Week (or just to have some fun). Splinter usually catches them coming back later, showing that he's often aware of his sons' activities.

Much of why the plot of The Outside happens, though, it's not Ryuuko's parents but, her agoraphobic overprotective older sister, Satsuki, who forbids the former from going outside, so, to experience what she calls the "Outside", she has to sneak because Satsuki would have told her "No." if she asked (and she did when Ryuuko tried).

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency: In the first book, a rich Indian man tries to strictly control his daughter's life, and when the daughter starts sneaking away, he suspects she's seeing a secret boyfriend. He hires the detective Precious Ramotswe to find out who this boyfriend is. Mma Ramotswe finds there isn't any boyfriend: the daughter is just sneaking away to make her dad think she's seeing someone, as an act of rebellion. So Mma Ramotswe reports what she found to the dad, and urges him to just give his daughter some more autonomy, and he agrees. And at the very end, Mma Ramotswe discovers the daughter played her like a fiddle, and actually does have a secret boyfriend.

Implied in Tangled. Rapunzel actively hides Pascal from Mother Gothel, likely for fear that if discovered he would be taken away from her.

Ms Marvel of course has to do this as a Superhero, since Kamala's parents are very strict in all aspects of her life. However, when Kamala finally tells her mother about her secret identity, she revealed that she already knew and was pleased that her daughter's darkest secret was sneaking out to help others.

Discussed in Dharma & Greg, when they find themselves taking care of a friend's teenage daughter. Greg and Dharma argue about keeping her away from her boyfriend. When Dharma claims that they'll find a way to get together anyway, Greg agrees, but insists that it's their job as guardians to lay down the rules, and force kids to sneak around in order to date.
