  • Teen Dishonesty (7-23-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Dishonesty is on the rise in all sectors of our society. When kids see it as a strategy to get ahead — like what’s portrayed on most reality TV shows — it’s natural for them to emulate it.

    Kids lie and cheat for the same reasons that adults lie…to lift themselves up, to get ahead, to destroy their competition, or to protect themselves. They see others getting away with it, so they adopt untruth as well. Some see it as a game or take pride in their ability to deceive.

    Parents should be on the lookout for lying and cheating in their teen. Catching and dealing with it early on will help avoid bigger problems in the future.
