Well me and my friends were having dinner the other night. Her mom called because she was going to pick us up. When her mom asked if there were guys there (there was) she said no. But her brother came in to get us and he saw them and then told her mom. Her mom didn't care there were guys there she just cared that my friend lied. So now my friend has lost her parents trust by lying and she really wants to get it back.
Are there any ways you guys would suggest getting her parents trust back? Or if anyones been in this same type of situation maybe? Thanks.

Even if her motivation in telling the truth isn't always "oh it's because I want to be a better person", tell her to tell herself it's because she don't want to get bitten in the ass later.

hope i helped a little..

I mean I was just thinking about this, I had this best friend, and I thought she was amazing because she never lied to me and she was always honest. But once she left a lie on my answering machine and I knew it was a lie. So immediantly I was so hurt. And it was her fault, not mine at all. But thats not the point, the point is, getting trust back is hard work. You need to work at the relationship, and if she gets put in situations where she could lie, the easiest way out is to just tell the truth and not lie.
