OP,

First, a lot of teens lie for self-aggrandizement on social media.

Now that's out of the way, here's what's really important -

The next few years are going to very rough for you if you don't accept right now, that some parents of teens are entirely hands-free. For whatever reason: they're too busy with their careers and adults lives, they've given up on parenting teens, they think teens should make their own mistakes, they're reliving the glory days of their youths, or maybe their teens are especially adventurous and rebellious. You cannot physically control a teen, and the money/car keys/phone bill is only a pale proxy of control.

So these parents are out there, dealing with whatever.

You have to parent your kids the way you see fit, and hope that all these years of building trust and instilling your values will protect them from harm. Keep lines of communication open. It's a fine line for some adventurous kids, so KNOW YOUR OWN KID, and how far you can go with each of them!
