Consequences of Lying
I love her so much, but it hurts So much You have to keep letting her know how it feels to be lied to, have a discussion about why the lie was told, tell her how the habit of lying to you now will hurt her if it goes on in later relationships, provide some task for her to work off the offense, and then reinstate your trust in being told the truth. You need to give her a positive opportunity to be honest with you next time around. Also, you can tell her that although it hurts to be on the receiving end of deceit, you'd rather be the person lied to than the person lying who must live in hiding, fearful of discovery, and doesn't have the courage or esteem to tell the truth in a relationship built on love.
Hi I am failing to understand why my 14 year old lies so much. I have sat him down and told him the consequences of lying but it seems to continue almost for negative attention at home and school! Can medication be one of the causes of making this matter more serious? I feel I just can't believe even some of the basic things he tells me anymore.

Maybe if I understood more about it I could help? In dire need as emotionally drained! Right now, his lying is your problem. You need to make it his problem. Therefore simply state and mean: How I respond is up to me. So you just need to know, that until I get a consistent record of truth from you, I will be less likely to permit, provide, and believe what you want. Of course, whether you choose to lie or tell me truth, my love for you doesn't change.
Only how we get along. I am 53 your old stay at home mother, married 30 years, we have provided a modest life style layed back safe open enviroment,decided to stay home rather than day cares, I just don't get it why she is lying now doing vaping and now pot and I have no idea, we let her go and do things with her friends , she has a horse, she thinks she is mature, so we let her do mature like things, hanging out ,movies, no riding in cars with anyone. We have taking them places every year her life, skiing, travel, we dont as ask much of them except good grades.
My feelings for her have changed, I will never trust her again, and I am a very trusting person. Her brother just turned 18 and couldn't ask for abetter teenage son, never gives me any trouble , always stays home most of the time, doesnt help out around the house much, but good grades, bad OCD, my daughter is is stressing my husband and I , but husband dont have time for family therapy and dosnt feel it would help, we gave her freedom and she blew it.
She is not a bad kid but feel she is hanging out with kids at school that have drugs, her music, way she dresses has changed , hiphop style. She has said everyone of those 10 lie statements. I think it will be years before I can trust her. Any good advise that she will take. She is only nice when she wants something. Ready to give up.
Try going to Al-Anon -- support for people who have a loved one whose life is being disorganized by substance use. Look up local meetings in your area. I have full custody of a 13 year old who's mother is a borderline personality type. She made it a habit to lie about anything and everything while our son was growing up. He's now exhibiting some traits that are worrisome. He'll lie to impress someone, lie to escape punishment, lie to gain freedom with friends and activities. Most lies are minor and not what I would consider "out of the ordinary" for an adolescent.
Taking away privileges, games, phone, etc Providing amnesty to try to gain some trust works only after the punishment has been served and he has time to think about the time vs. Any suggestions for lying right into the face of truth? Maybe explain that his lying is not simply of concern in his relationship to you, but if the habit continues how it will impact other significant relationships to come.
Thus to avoid creating sorrow in later relationships people that matter breaking off with him , you are acting to encourage him to practice honesty with you now.
Adolescent Lying: What it costs and what to do. | Psychology Today
My 11 yr old daughter recently or maybe it's been going on longer has been lying. Here are some examples: I am really worried for her and I told her that if she did this in the real world - she would be fired from her job. I, also, took her ipad and phone from her. She's extremely upset about this. But, I think all of the junk she watches on these devices is harming her mind. Anyway - there's actually 2 things going on - the lying and the failing grades.
I almost forgot to mention - but - this is very important - she has figured out my password to my iTunes account and made unauthorized purchases - more than once. I really feel like a bad mother right now - like I haven't been good enough at setting limits or disciplining her. When I was a kid - I never did this sort of thing. I was always honest - so it's been hard for me to accept that she does this and I keep believing she won't do it again. Best to expect that she will continue to behave this way and get yourself some supportive counseling to help figure out strategies to use and stands to take to help her back into responsible bounds.
Dear Dr, Thank you so much for writing this excellent article! I am sitting here at 7: She is our 3rd daughter, and the other 2 lied, but not like her. Everything on your list. Yesterday she called her dad to pick her up early from a Track Meet, told him she spoke with the coach, that he said it was ok because her events were over.
I received an email later in the day from the Assistant Coach saying she was kicked off the team for leaving her team and not finishing. I asked her specifically that if I talked to the coach, would he confirm he spoke with her, etc. I texted the coach and he said she never spoke to him and he never gave her permission to leave. Of course, I am seeing red this morning. We've had this conversation before about how we cannot stand up for her, or help her if she is not telling the truth. She has been in counseling for a year and a half. The thing we have not done is address the lying in the ways you have described here at home.
We will try this approach. I am worried for her moving forward. Will she ever be able to sustain a relationship with someone if she can't stop lying? Thank you, Nervous Mom. Since lying is hiding something or hiding from something to get something or to get away with something, maybe add family counseling to your daughter's individual counseling to expose and address what is going on. Thank you for this advice, I think it is a sound idea for also letting her know we're all on the same page. How personal decisions can be empowering and instructive.

Why would you deliberately give someone the wrong impression? What would make you alter or exaggerate the facts?
Why would you present a false picture? Whether you call them white lies, fibs, half-truths or exaggerations, lying is lying.

Why isn't the copier working? And who spilled this water? You wonder, "Why did I just lie to my boss?
