So is it true? Do even "the best" teenagers with great relationships with their parents tel lies as part of their way of finding independence, and establishing their own identities in the world?
A few years back I would have said that was nonsense, but I'm less sure lately. My eldest tells substantially the truth (I think), but I know he dilutes it now and then. My younger ones are possibly too young to lie yet.
What do you think? Do your teenagers lie about the little details? can we believe them, and in what circumstances?
