Teenagers, even good teens, lie about things to parents for a couple of different reasons. They want their privacy, they want more freedom and feel they deserve to have it, and they make mistakes that get them into trouble which they need to get out of by lying. While parents may take lying about these issues seriously, teens, on the other hand, do not think it is a big deal. It is a parent's responsibility to teach their teen that lying is a serious issue. But how can you tell if your teen is lying to you in the first place? Check out our screening quiz.
