    Make it clear that the lying was the issue, and you would have let her go to XXX if she'd just asked. Then ground her for a few weeks. Nothing too excessive. Don't make her determined to be more sneaky and rebellious - encourage her to tell you the truth about where she's going next time.

    i think you should talk to her and tell her that lying is not good and she should tell the truth next time. and maybe just take her phone for a few days. oh and don't be overly mad and angry , i know when i on that age if my parents just angry and punishing me with out telling me why and reason ,make me feel want to do it even more. just tell her nicely and make feel that what shes doing (lying ) is wrong.

    my 13 year old stepdaughter repeatedly gets bad grades in school. shes very smart and just wont do what shes supposed to do to get good grades. every time we punish her, it doesnt work. she doesnt care if you take everything she enjoys away. i need ideas of what to do because nothing we have tried is making a difference.

    Everyone goes through that. Teens want to rebel just to see what it's like. If she doesn't do anything bad, don't worry about it. The phase will pass.

    im 13 and a very effecive punishment is takeing away her phone if she has one

  • 1 decade ago

    I would say no plans with her friends for a week and take away her phone if she has one for a while.

    Source(s): When I was 13 this was my punishment for going from one friend's to another without the first friends permission (we had sneaked out because they lived 2 houses away from each other and the other friend's grandfather died so we went to comfort her.)

    Don't give them punishment.It is necessary to be cool with girls to create confidence in them then they will be share automatically all ups and downs of their life.
