teenage lies

[midcomp]

Hi... How can get my 14 yr old to stop telling lies even though she knows we find out

[scotman]

Why do you think she is telling lies?

[mxyzptlk]

It's in the nature, I'm sure they'll grow out of it eventually.

[midcomp]

Texting and seeing older lads/men. Have explained all the dangers.

[midcomp]

5 or 6 years. And lads that age wants stuff she cant give.

[midcomp]

Done that...stopped phone, internet facebook etc and as soon as she gets phone back she does it again..

[ummmm]

Don't give her phone back then.

[China Doll]

Don't give the phone back.

I know that quite a lot of people have never heard of it but it's called Parent Control.

[midcomp]

Thats what we are doing..

[ummmm]

I mean, to be honest, why does a 14 year old need a phone, anyway?

You'll find out..

Hmmm, I'm not sure it's as simple as taking her phone away. I assume she has internet access? I'm sure these boys will too!
Plus, if you know she's already lying then she'll probably lie to get out of the house in order to see them.

[ummmm]

Internet can be disconnected.

[midcomp]

She not allowed on internet...

[ummmm]

So where is the problem?
