My brother has become a avid liar this past year, he hides everything from his parents and me. He used to never tell an untruth and now I don't know what to belive from him. I guess he must be picking this up from his friends at school. I have caught him in many lies but he doesn't even seem to care. what to do?

The bad company is spoiling your brother. Give him good advice and tell him the losses he is going to have by telling lie be hard with him.

just tell your brother I don't know when to believe you , you've became a ace of a liar its like the boy who cryed wolf and when something bad really happen and no 1 believes you you will feel what its like to be in deep dodo. Just let him keep doing it, there is always something that will turn up that he may not get hiself out of he will see it for himself and then he will believe. I have a little brother thats a liar so trust me you'll see what i mean when ever you think he's tell lies just tell him yeye what ever and yawn and say are you done yet.

When a teenager starts lying, it's because he doesn't feel he has much control in his life. So he lies to get out of work, and lies to go out. I can understand how that could bother you because I'm a mom of just such a guy.
The kid needs to control his life a little more, Mom & Dad need to loosen up a bit (you can't do that) but the kid will stop doing it when it stops paying off. If it doesn't work, he'll stop doing it. You can hope he gets caught everytime he lies, or you can help him get caught. Up to you.

Just tell him you can't trust him or anything he says and until he stops telling lies you are washing your hands of him. Explain to him that telling lies will only push family and friends away from him.Then when he tells you something, tell him you don't trust a word of what he says and walk away.
He will eventually get the message.
Good luck.

Try Talking to him. Let him know that you can keep secrets that are small, but if these are the secrets that parents have to know tell him that he has to tell his parents, maybe they are really bad secrets. They could even harm him, or put him in danger, but if you talk, brothers and sisters get a better relationship.

I think his problem is he's scared that if he does something wrong you guys will be mad with him. He was so scared that he started lying and its become a everyday thing. I tell you what you have to trust him it might be hard but he need to know its OK to tell the truth and you guys will always love him.

this is very important_WHAT is he lying about???AND WHY is he LYIN????
It also is not your JOB to parent him-however> be on top of him of you can. ask around....become a private investigator. don't be goofy about it. If you really want to know whats goin on-you can be slick-Depending on your age.
**Tell God your fears about your brother. GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING. And He will probably show you or your parents whats goin on. God caught me in everything when I was young. LOL!
If you are going to pray-DON'T WORRY

I would not lie to him because a kid may take it as it is acceptable at times, which it is not.try making an impact by grounding him for two weeks, no phone, computer, friends, TV, radio, outside, give him plenty of time to think about why he is in his room with his thoughts and a book for entertainment.

lie to him, give him a taste of his own medicine. tell him you are gonna do something for him that he really wants and then don't do it. my mother broke me of lying when I was a kid, I had put a bike in layaway and had one more payment, I was waiting on birthday money to pay for it, she told me it didn't come, I was so upset, I was a lot happier when I went out and saw the bicycle in the yard but I learned how it felt to be lied to.
