Hi, I'm Anneleis. This is my first time really admitting my issue. I don't know if this is really the category my post should go in, but its revolving lying and my strong problems with it.
I'm a sophomore in high school. I was the golden older child but now I feel like I'm just a disappointment. The lying started small, but now I lie about anything. I never really thought it was a big deal, then it became a matter of not getting caught. Now it just happens, before I can process it. Its usually when I drink. I have been caught three true times by my parents after lying about drinking, each time with a worse consequence, but I only feel bad for getting caught. I tried to come up with any possible lie to escape responsibility. I know in my gut, each time I drink, that I really don't need to and that I will just get caught and lie about it, but I cave each time.
After having been caught and really screwing myself over, I have been on the straight and narrow for the last 2 months in attempt to rebuild trust, but the other night I slipped and when my mom confronted me about it I lied. I knew what I as doing was wrong, even the other night, but I don't know how to stop. I hate lying, but at this point it just comes out before I can really admit to what I've done
I was hoping someone would have insight for me. I really don't like who I've become but I can't find anything to solve the problem.
Thanks
