COWAN PONTIAC -- BUICK LTD BOWMANVILLE ONl 166 King St. E. 623-9415 Handling It... by Lloyd Scott The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 22,1990 23 1956 Ticket Proves Valuable 34 Years Later Everybody lies sometimes - to get out of trouble, to save face, to hurt someone's feelings, to avoid hurting someone's feelings. Everybody's lies sometimes sometimes - in the interests of self-promotion, of gossip, of financial gain, of retaliation. Some people lie just to entertain. entertain. Some people lie without thinking, just to make themselves feel better. By avoiding the truth, by omitting or exaggerating part of the truth, by fudging the truth, by being silent - virtually everyone (except small children) can be said to lie. To others and to themselves. themselves. One explanation for lying that's not much noticed is fear of telling the truth. For example, take the cause of the teenager who's expected home from a parly by 12:30 a.m. His parents are the sort who enforce the letter rather than the spirit of the rule and he knows it. Having forgotten the deadline during the fun, he lingers a little longer and arrives arrives home at 12:45. Facing unpleasant consequences, he decides to lie, explaining that his watch was slow. , Sooner or later suspecting suspecting a lie, the parents then begin to focus their attention attention on the truth-lie issue. The tardiness issue becomes a means of gathering evidence evidence to prove lying. The parents' grave concern concern about their son being out too late or even breaking a rule is quickly subordinated subordinated to their dismay at their son's lying to them. It's not easy for him to tell them that he stayed out past the specified time - inadvertently inadvertently - because he's fairly certain that they'll think he deliberately disobeyed disobeyed them. As a result of their own insecurities, his parents have developed a tendency to see any infringe ment of their rules as disregard disregard for their authority. This they can't tolerate. Their inflexible rules and his lie to avoid consequences lead to the almost inevitable next step: he's now under suspicion of future lying. Much of what he chooses to report to his parents from then on may become suspect to them. In the unfortunate polarizing polarizing that follows repeated incidents of this kina, parents parents discover lies and decide that their son is untrustworthy. untrustworthy. They may then speculate speculate that this condition is drug-induced or that it's the result of peer pressure. They may wonder if their son's lying lying is pathological of requires requires treatment. Thus, the process leading to parental disappointment, which is made up of equal parts of blame ana rejection, is well underway. Sadly, in this mood of mutual vindictiveness, vindictiveness, which may prevail for years, each reinforces the mistrust of the other. In most families, it's not helpful for parents to think of tneir children's lying solely solely in terms of wronging or reprimand, crime and punishment. punishment. Such a view only intensifies the polarization and drives the important truths underground. Lying, however much we may deplore it, has its explanations explanations and root causes. Rule-bound parents' suspicions suspicions and mistrust are part of the problem because they negatively influence perceptions, perceptions, expectations and outcomes. outcomes. Whatever this particular teenager's decision after coming home late-to lie or tell the truth -- he's in trouble. trouble. This double bind, which forces him into a corner, ends meaningful dialog, leaves both him and his parents parents locked in their anger and, worse than nicotine, stunts everyone's growth. No one gains. Strict authority, which exercises control by requiring requiring absolute obedience, tends to be suspicious and to generate fear - the great enemies enemies of truth. An atmosphere atmosphere of suspicion and fear breeds lies, whereas truthtelling truthtelling in all its complexities, complexities, can flourish only in an atmosphere of tolerance. Unfortunately many teenagers, afraid to tell the truth, have learned to tell lies, small, medium and large. Untrusted by their parents, they have little nope of losing their reputation reputation as untrustworthy. Once this sort of impasse becomes chronic in a family, only a very concerted effort by parents and teenagers working together can break it.
