Gate crashing is when someone goes to a party or event without being invited. Imagine if you had a birthday party and you invited your friends over to celebrate with you. But then a stranger shows up, someone who you didn't invite, and they start eating your cake and playing with your toys. That's what gate crashing is like! It's not very nice because the person who wasn't invited is not supposed to be there and can cause trouble by taking things that aren't theirs, or making too much of a mess. So, it's important to always be respectful and only go to events that you are welcomed to.
