Your daughter is going through a very important phase in her life. During adolescence, they go through strife and strain. Their personality is getting its final shape. If you have been too strict with her or in the household, she may have to resort to deception because a lot of unacceptable things may be going on in her head that she finds difficult to share with strict parents, mostly because her thoughts may be so intolerable. That means that the atmosphere at home may not be conducive to open communication. Now you must be aware that communication with a teen is extremely important to know what is going on with the youngster to be able to help them. If they cannot talk to you, they will reach out to their peers, whose source of information is very dubious and usually anti-parent/authority. This is also the phase for developing the final shape to her character, and if she has not got a proper foundation, she could be using deception as a way of getting away and getting along in life. This is really of major concern and she needs to be handled very carefully. You must use the assistance of the school academic staff, school counselor and yourselves as parents to coordinate your monitoring of her, without intrusion, to help her stop and choose straight ways to deal with life. You must find out why she is lying and explain that there is no need and that you will be softer in your approach. Make yourself more amenable to reach out to, and slowly become her friend and less of a parent. If you did this well, you could save her and yourselves of serious difficulties in life.

:) I too tell a lie. I guess it is not a problem unless she's causing problems to others through her lies. You need to contact a counseller.

This is psychological problem If the interaction with parents is poor or parents scold too much ,or give poor hearing,or do not give solutions then child is confused and does not trust parents.Be her friend,even if she tells you some thing which is wrong on her part,first do not disclose it to any body,do not scold.Tell her that you also did so when young.And it is normal,but such activities may be harmful, and tell her not to do it again.Then keep a close watch on her,and encourage her to confess.If your interaction is not healthy, then she has to resort to lies. At this age kids do experiment.Please give her some sex education and safety tips.

Respect her and have a open communication with her or This is Stress which she is expressing through lying.
