[quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and I hear this all the time "Johnny doesnt lie. He just doesnt. I am sure this was all just a misunderstanding..." in conferences. Then I proceed to bust Johnny for lying straight up in front of his parents. Most parents need a reality check. IMO 99% of teenagers will lie at one point or another....what you do in response is what is key. I have a 13 yr old DS and he has certainly lied about things to me but to me what is important is that he knows that I can read him, that I sometimes bide my time before confronting, and that most lies catch up with him because of the first two things. So I believe he lies significantly LESS because of what I just wrote. [/quote]
