If they allow her to go inside and you are the only one taking her out, the training is going to be difficult. If you do decide to try, you can take her out just after she eats. Stay outside with her until she goes and then give her a reward. It may take some time but it might work if everyone pitches in to help. You can train her but your parents will need to help out.

When your at the age where you want to invite people over and hesitate because you don't want them to talk about it, its DEFINITELY a problem. Small dogs are known to be harder to housebreak. Since she's two, your going to have to make sure your consistent and firm with her. Take her outside every two hours and when she wakes up from naps (taking her out after naps is the most important), and if she doesn't go right away run her around, or walk her around the block to get things movin :) If you catch her going inside say "NO!" loud and firmly so it startles her and so that she stops peeing at that moment. Take her straight outside until she goes, and after she goes give her a treat straight away and praise like there's no tomorrow! You can also get a squirt bottle and spray a stream at her if you catch her in the moment in case you don't want to yell or find it more convienient. Since she's older, you'll almost have to start over like she's a puppy. So again take her out every two hours and after she wakes up from naps, and praise her with treats when she goes outside.... and BE CONSISTENT! If your parents see what a huge effort you're making, maybe they'll see it's important to you and try to help as well.
