I just read this:
"90% of teens lie to their parents. At the age of 21 this number jumps to 100%."
Think it's true?

If they're talking about small lies ("yes mom I've cleaned my room"), I think it is probably true. But not for big lies.

Are these statistics in religious circles or in general. Generally, I believe that it's correct. In our circles, I hope the statistics are lower!

I'm pretty sure 100% is inaccurate to say. First of all, thats a dramatic generalization and there are always exceptions. There are some 21 year olds out there that tell the truth completely to their parents. I'm sure there are some on this site, although I can't put myself in that catagory. Not that I lied persay, but I didn't inform my parents of everything which may have led them to assume something untrue. Anyways, I don't know how anyone could say 100% unless they hve personally interviewed every single 21 year old out there.

I could believe it, only problem is, how do we know that all these lying teenagers didn't lie to the pollster?

Lying to Parents, Getting into Fights, and Getting Suspended from School. Teens’ willingness to lie to their parents about where they had been or who they have been with varies significantly with the closeness of their relationship. For example, over three-quarters of the teens aged 15 to 16 who do not have close relationships with their parents say that they lie to their parents. By contrast, half of teens who have close relationships do so. Similarly,the likelihood of getting into a serious fight is lower across the board for children who eat dinner regularly with their parents or who have close relationships with their parents. Finally, the likelihood of getting suspended from school is lower for those teens to have close parental relationships.

I'm so not surprised. I noticed these things in high school.
