Quote From: rogers3957 My daughter has this issue with lying. I understand kids lie but this is getting ridiculous. For the past couple years every time we ask her a question the reply is always a lie.We have tried to explain to her that in order for all of us to have a good trusting relationship lying can not be part of it. We have grounded her, taken things and privileges away,talked until we could think of nothing else to say. I understand that in the scheme of things, she is a straight A student, plays the violin and is a all around good kid. My fear is that if we can't find a way to get her to see lying is damaging our relationship that we will lose her in some way. Any advice would be appreciated.

There has to be something missing here. Your daughter is a "straight A student" and "all around good kid", but for "the past couple years" {years!} every time you ask her a question the reply is a lie?
Talk informally (="off the record") with her school counselor for some input on both your daughter and teens there more generally. Also chat with some of your daughter's friends' mothers for the same purpose.
Anything else seems like just speculating, but if forced to do so, I'd have to guess your daughter may be doing something she shouldn't - perhaps behind your back. Do you know where she is "all" the time, or are there times when you just think she is somewhere but don't really know? Are there unexplained absences? Missing hours? Other than the lying, any behavior changes at all?
