my sister has been lying to everyone!
I am 18-f and my sister is 16. I have come to the conclusion that my sister is a compulsive liar. I really want to reveal her true strides to my family and everyone else who has been a victim of her lies, but how? Every time I try to catch her in her lies, she keeps lying to cover her tracks. This has become a major problem, and has ruined my relationship with her. I don't want to hurt her, but I wish she could learn a good lesson from her awful behavior.

I have a similar problem, however, I know that even she was exposed, it would only put other things in my household in question. It not something that can be addressed properly so everyone knows but no one complains or reprimands proper punsihments.
You have to decide whether or not if her lies are harmful.. to herself and the people around her. Teenagers tend to lie, we all do in certain situations. However if she is lying with no real reason or purpose then, then problem is what you've already stated. She a compulsive liar and it is a medical condition. However, because our society somewhat encourage its livelihood, the longer it continues, the less the chance it can be corrected. For if they the proper punishments is not administered, then she would not learn "not to do it", she just readjust her methods of not getting caught.
If you have a certain type of relationship with her, and she knows that she's threatning it by lying consistantly... then considering the situations she may put you and your conscience in... you can either tell on her to prevent the freedom she must feel by lying OR let her live her life the way she believes she must. It tough decisions all around... Hope this helps you come to a solution.

Catch her in the act.
Confront her once and for all.
& when she realizes how serious you're
being she will hopefully put a stop to it.
Dont come down too hard on her though, but still sound like you're drawing the line. Dont say "if you dont tell i will" because thats blackmailing and she will hate you for that, just address to her that she needs to put everything right and thats HER responsibility. And tell her your leaving it to her to do the right thing. Which might guilt her and she will put everything right. Goodluck.
