My (f19) parents keep lying to me when it comes to things I need to know about being an adult. While these parents believe they are doing the right thing, they are actually hurting their children by shielding them from life. Get help. Last year they said i didn't have to go this year. James Lehman explains that kids lie for many reasons: to cover their tracks, to get out of something they don’t want to do, and to fit in with their peers. Parents who can’t or won’t let go and allow their young adult children to grow up and become independent might believe they are doing the right thing. Unfortunately, teens and pre-teens often lie or tell only part of the truth. You could call them out on it, but chances are, they have their own reasons for lying. And I get so angry at myself, I want to hit something or scream. I remember it perfectly, they came into my room and kneeled at my bed (I was the bottom bunk of course because I’m the younger sister meaning Pretty had the choice).
It can be scary when you aren't sure how your parents will react but, hey, they just might surprise you and be totally cool with it. I am speaking as one who, when he was young, had a track record for lying. We agreed as a family we weren't going and only those who wanted could go. And when I heard that, I couldn't help but feel the tear fall down from my eyes. AGAIN. This isn't the first time this thing has happened. So basically I’m having a few issues with my parents. My parents are forcing me to go to church camp. i was stressed out with the cause of them. When parents lie to their children, they are hurting them deeply.

I would be curious as to whether you have a track record for lying, and that perhaps this is why he questions your truthfulness on a regular basis. You see, my parents have very very high expectations of me and to them, education is really important. My grandmother is helping me out, though. Being the generous and compassionate …

Because of this, I didn't dare to show them my final semester marks because i know they will be disappointed. My mom has cussed a few times, but not my dad. There was only 25% agreement between teens and parents on what kids were lying about. They will also take my phone away knowing I had failed maths and all my other subjects were only borderline passes. I keep lying to my parents and I don't know why.
Replied by mysisterisaCL on topic compulsive lying parents Something I forgot to mention - it sounds like maybe what is at play here is not merely compulsive lying, but more like sociopathy. AGAIN. And if they aren't, you can go to bed feeling good about yourself because you were honest. Lying is never the right choice but telling the truth is. They then asked me if I would be willing to give them my dummy and let them send it to children who were less fortunate than me. It's not what we agreed on, it's what THEY agreed on.

However, parents are very poor at knowing what their kids are lying about. You see, my parents have very very high expectations of me and to them, education is really important. At times it may even seem that they make up needless lies about things that seem trivial. Lying is just one of the tools used by sociopaths to manipulate and control their victims. They will also take my phone away knowing I had failed maths and all my other subjects were only borderline passes. Sometimes kids use lying as a way to keep part of their lives separate from their parents.

Dealing with lying is frustrating and confusing for many parents. I talked to them about it and they said 'this is what we agreed on!!' She understands me more. My parents didn’t want me to have a dummy anymore. I am also one of the bottom few in my class. I am also one of the bottom few in my class. It's not what we agreed on, it's what THEY agreed on. On the way to school that morning he gives me that speech that every teen gets when they are caught lying, but this time he actually cussed, something I have NEVER heard my father do. My parents are forcing me to go to church camp. We agreed as a family we weren't going and only those who wanted could go. In psychology, we call this individuation , and it’s quite normal. Parents have been lying to their children since the dawn of time, or at least since the first how are babies made question popped out from the mouth.

I keep doing this every year, full of excuses, and keep getting distracted by things like technology. I talked to them about it and they said 'this is what we agreed on!!'

Because of this, I didn't dare to show them my final semester marks because i know they will be disappointed. This isn't the first time this thing has happened.
