nothing traumatic has happened to him?

School. My first guess would be a new child in school or in the neighborhood that is a bad influence.
It could also be something the child is eating. Too much sugar and such can cause dramatic behavioral problems. If you think this is could be it, then you may want to try Chromium, which help the to process sugar better. Here's a link: http://www.mynsp.com/carole/products/guide.aspx?stockNum=1801
It could be drugs.
It could be due to excessive electro magnetic fields (extra computer time, new larger TV - particularly on a wall shared by his bedroom or under his bed, a move closer to a power station or train tracks). EMFs can be neutralized. Here's a link if you think this might be a contributing factor: http://www.mybiopro.com/Products.aspx?ID=carolecherry
When my kids seem to be getting out of control I put olive oil on their back, just below the ribs to calm the adrenal glands. That can be very soothing and have them transform before your very eyes.
Of course my kids are small (3 & 7) and the only reason they lie is because they think their plans will be thwarted if they tell the truth. Is it possible that there is something your child wants to do that he thinks you will not approve of and that is causing the problem? Maybe talking to the child in a calm and open manner will reveal something. You might also consider homeschooling - particularly if the problem goes away over the summer on it's own. Good luck!
Peace!

Oh, lots of things. How old is he? Who is he around? What is he watching? Kids are so impressionable at various ages. My daughter was always gentle and soft spoken until she was around other kids who bullied her. She learned some of their techniques and now we have problems with her being mean (not overly, just bossy mostly). She's also picked up a lot of attitude at school around her classmates that she never had before.
Don't rule out TV. I've seen bits and pieces come from the movies and shows she watches so you have to be mindful of that, too. If he starts showing signs of picking up the wrong thing from a movie or show, tighten up what he's allowed to watch.
Also, as they age they become more independent and they start trying to assert their independence. He may be rebelling against your authority as he is trying to become is own unique entity.
There is no magical answer to this question, nor any magical solutions. Examine the possible sources, but sometimes you can't do much to change them. You'll have to set the rules, let him know what will and won't be allowed and stick to it. He'll come out of it... when he's 30. ;) (maybe) lol.

Generally speaking something traumatic has happened to them. Find out. Lying means they are hiding something ~ my first suspicion would be that someone has touched them inappropriately and told them not to tell (generally it will be someone they know). Make a list of those you have left them with since the behavior changed. This might give you some idea of the perpetrator. Unruly ~ how, what are they doing? Hitting, lashing out? These will generally guide you to what they are reacting to. Also watching violent TV shows can cause this behavior especially in young children.

Could be something happened to him such as abuse of some sort. If he won't or can't tell you what's wrong or what happened, start investigating who he has been with recently and go from there. Don't put very much pressure on him, because kids can be scared silly by someone who threatens to hurt them or their parents if they tell what was done. Don't panic yourself, though, because the reason for the sudden change in behavior might be something else. Stay calm and do a little digging before doing anything drastic.
