Is it normal for a 16 year old to spit out nothing but lies?
My sister and I are 8 year apart. We have always been inseperable. We come from a pretty messed up home life(our parents have filed for a divorce 5 times) finally they are splitting up. Keeping that in mind, I have been my sisters bestfriend, mentor, teacher, soulmate, and sometimes parent. My sister is now 16. She's at that age where she's hanging out all the time, doing stuff with guys, and getting curious about drugs. I get it she wants to have fun but for the past 2-3 months she's lied every day about where is and who she's with. I can't relate because when I was 16 I didn't do anything if I did my parents would kill me(first kids always get the harder punishment) anyway as her sister I have asked her to Just tell the truth. She still continued to lie. In fact my parents put a tracking device on her phone and she still lied about where she was!! What's even worse is that all these teenagers just do whatever they wants and walk all ice their parents, I do not condone that behavior. As her older sister I want to make sure shes safe and it's at least trying to make good decisions. I have reached out to my friends who were all at one point 16 and even they think she's going over board with the lies. I can't trust anything that comes out of her mouth anymore. she told me I'm just a sister and that doesn't really mean anything and it broke me. I've always been there for her so ...my over all question is, is it normal for teens to lie non stop, and be okay with it? And is it normal for me to be concerned? Remember I am not here to control her or be judged. so unless you're going to be mature please refrain from commenting. Thank you.
