[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think the BPD poster needs to back off.  This kid is 11.  When kids this age lie a lot, especially lies that are grandiose -- I went to archery camp! -- there are other mechanisms at work than BPD.  I told a lot of those kinds of lies when I was that age, mainly because I had very low self esteem, I got picked on a lot, and I got punished severely for lying, which set up a strong defensiveness in me to keep doing it.

I don't know that they do need to back off, my MIL has BPD and I was just thinking this sounds exactly like her![/quote]

This kid is ELEVEN![/quote]

And the mom a control freak. [/quote]

Nope, the mom is not a control freak. The mom is trying to find ways to be a better mom. 
To those of you who are feeling sorry for these kids, think about the parents too. 
We are having to scrutinize our kids' behaviors because something is "off" and we're not going to just chuck it up to being a teenager. 
By virtue of getting feedback here from other folks, I'm also learning a lot. We have to keep ourselves open to possibilities that our kid is just not perfect like yours.
