I lie compulsively to my parents. It costs me privileges, and the trust of my parents. I think that part of what keeps me doing it, is that my parents are so kind and understanding. They always tell me horrible ramifications will follow, but soon lighten up and just speak with me seriously but lovingly of how proud they are of me, and that I don't need to lie. But I do it anyway, and I always end up feeling guilty and confessing... eventually. I don't lie to anybody but my parents. Not to teachers, not to my peers. Just my parents. Constantly. I want to say that I love them, but my actions say differently.

do you lie about things that your parents don't approve of or just everything?

Almost everything, if I feel the slightest bit of tension.

I don't outright lie to my parents, I just don't tell them things. I guess that's lying by omission.

I'm really glad they haven't recently asked if I'm dating anyone.
