Liar Liar! My Teen Daughter Is a Chronic Liar! | Momtourage: "So, this afternoon I did what all the websites (and my mother) advise to do with a lying teen: I confronted her immediately with the facts: the letter from school, etc….  Predictably she spun a yarn about how she thinks there’s been a quote “mix up” and the P.E. teacher has her confused with someone else.  She laughed it off with a sort of “these things happen” attitude.  (I told you she’s good.)  When that failed to work I asked her why she feels so compelled to lie.  She claimed the usual - she’s afraid she’ll get in trouble.  However, she’s in much deeper hot water for lying than she is for the original infraction. "
