“Sometimes a teen is deceptive because he is afraid to be honest. He may be scared that he will disappoint you or a friend. At some level, your teen may fear that the truth will interfere with love. Ask if you are not letting your teen be real, or if you are controlling his life so much that he has no freedom or secrets. Reassure your teen that you will love him no matter what he says or does, and encourage him to take a risk with you to see if this is true.” -John Townsend
