Ever since I was small, my parents have always called me a liar. I never lie when I can and I always tell the truth when I can. My sister used to lie to get me in trouble when I was little so my parents used to think that I was a big liar whenever I tried to insist the truth.
Now my parents never believe I tell the truth. Its very annoying as I just get angry and argue with them. This is now leading to my parents never believing a word I say.
Eg. I found a photo on my dad's camera of my sister smoking. I showed it to my Dad and then just about to show it to my mum and my sister takes the camera and lies to get herself out. Whenever I tried to tell my parents that she smokes they used to tell me to go away.
Then they caught her smoking 2 weeks later.
But even with revising as my GCSE's (national exams) my parents tell me I lie when I say I HAVE revised. They say I lie about everything and when I protest they say I always lie and to shut up.
Any advice/help?

I hope u're turning 18 soon so u can move the hell out of that house. What kind of parents are they, they're really screwing with ur head there. That's really wrong of them to say that to u, I mean u're their child they should always be on ur side, and they should assure u that u can always count on them. I don't know what the hell is wrong with them, there's really nothing there to help them, that's just how they are, I don't think they'll ever change, u can try talking to them without crying, just talk, calmly . Try to tell them how u feel about that, maybe just maybe they will try to understand, if not then just wait till' u grow a little older and move on with ur life.

make a point of revising in front of them, stop trying to get your sister in trouble cos obviously she's gonna lie to avoid the aggro
and the next time you tell the truth, and they don't believe you and accuse you of lying, you and your conscience can rest easy,
because you told the truth, its not your fault they didnt believe you, sooner or later they should realise you were telling the truth, and you can call them up on it and demand an apology.
just quit all the arguements and gettin angry, cos then they will want to believe the worst of you

My son has the same problem with his mother and it got so bad that he has been living with me for the past couple of months. It could be that your parents have a problem with eachother that they aren't facing up to and using you as a scapegoat for their repressed anger. Sorry that's a bit deep but I know that my son is the dumping ground for his mother's problems. Is there someone else you could go and stay with where you would be happier? Maybe if you aren't there then they would face up to what the real problem is. Don't ever think any of this is your fault, they are the adults and should never make you feel this bad.

If they're not listening to you, thenI'd write them a letter. Put down your emotions and thoughts and then post it to them. That way, they'll get it when you're at school and hopefully be able to read it.
Explain int he letter how you are upset with the fact you're never listened to and that you have no reason to lie. Continue with your revision and do well in your exams.

Sounds like proving yourself to your parents is not worth it.
Just bid your time, do the best you can in school for you, and get out of there as soon a you can. Trust me your sister will soon show her true colors and your parents will see through her lies when you are no longer there to blame. And when you are successfull and she is still lying through her teeth, they will see!

it's a tough one, all you can do really is to not get into arguments, listen to what they say, reply then don't let it go further, in time they will realise that you are being honest if you make a point of always being that way

Tell them how you feel. Nothing can be done if you don't explain things. If they don't understand then there not worth talking to whatsoever.
