[quote=Anonymous]I have a teen like this who has been a liar all her life. It’s somehow ingrained in her personality. She lies about the mundane, things that have no value or risk (she wouldn’t risk getting in trouble). I don’t get it. Because I’ve noticed this about her from a young age I am very careful to avoid any kind of lying or exaggerating around her (even no “white lies”) and making a point to show telling the truth is always best. I struggled for years thinking I was such a bad parent. Why does she do it? She does it with other people too. I don’t have any answers. She’s been punished for lying, we’ve explained as nauseum that lies are hard to keep track of so you will get caught, can have a snowball effect that you lose control of, can ruin relationships, etc. Nothing helps. I don’t have any answers. I wish she would stop. [/quote]
