Why Do Teens Lie? What to Do and How to Help Them

Why Do Teens Lie? What to Do and How to Help Them

  1. Insecurity – Teens often lie as a quick reaction when they feel insecure or unsure of themselves.
  2. Confusion – Sometimes, teens don’t understand why they did something, so they lie to cover up their confusion.
  3. Peer influence – If they’ve been influenced by friends or outside factors, lying may seem like their only option.
  4. Ask logical questions – Instead of reacting harshly, calmly ask questions that help them think through the situation.
  5. Give them options – Offer different reasons for why they might have lied, and let them reflect on their choices.
  6. Present alternative solutions – Show them that there are better ways to handle the situation than lying.
  7. Address the lie – Let them know what the lie was and explain what they should have done instead.
  8. Reassure them – Make them feel safe and secure, even if they’ve made a mistake.
  9. Teach the consequences of lying – Explain that lies are eventually revealed, and ask if they want to face embarrassment.
  10. Emphasize the importance of truth – The truth is always easier to remember and leads to better, long-term solutions.
