Lying is a defence mechanism. You may not even know the real reason. It’s so important that you see it. Just try to notice the patterns as to when and why you are lying. There is infinite wisdom in your own self.

I’m 13, and I’ve had mental health issues in the past, and that caused my parents to take away all of my social media, set restrictions on my phone, and put software that allowed them to see all of my texts. They thought everything was because of my phone, and that made me feel really terrible because that obviously wasn’t it. I was not doing well in school socially because I had really terrible friends, and I was confused about who I was as a person. My parents, I think, like to believe they are perfect too, so in that time when I felt depressed, when they weren’t doing something right I would try to tell them that but again they would blame it on my phone or anything else. So now, I look back and realize that’s why I lie. I lie because my parents make me. They don’t like to hear the real reason, they have their own. Now it’s been three years since my mental breakdown, and they still have the same restrictions, even though now I’m do much better and have learned more about myself and I have matured more than they think. Don’t do this to your kids. Listen to them. You don’t have to always be right, and that’s okay. That’s something my parents didn’t know, and if they did, we would have a way better relationship than we do right now. Listen to your kids, and look at the real reason.
