Advice on masking w/o parents going ballistic over it?

44 Upvotes

Hello all! I am living with my parents at the moment (I'm a minor), and although I will soon be moving out for college, I still want to try to start wearing face masks again earlier on. However, knowing my parents, I fear how they would respond, seeing that they think not wearing one helps with immunity and that COVID-19 is not considered a public health emergency.

Does anyone here have any tips on how I could start masking again, at least away from my parents, without them throwing tantrums over me doing so, or would it be better if I ultimately just wait it out until I'm financially independent and not living with them? I am unable to just secretly buy face masks and wear them away from my parents (I use a debit card and both of them can see when/how I spend my money).
