The teen is lying for the first time. Tell me, which title would grab you...r eye and maybe get you to read at least the first few lines of the story: No 1: TRUST TO LIE BY or No 2: TRUST THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ALL, help me!!

Oh boy, God bless you because I raised a few and have been there before. It can be a very difficult time. I'll be praying for you...

Be always safe,

I'd go with #1. It is catchy and grabs your thoughts. Liz

I too, would have to go with #1, it captures your attention, as it makes you really think, what is he talking or thinking about?

This same thing happened to me with a grandson just recently. He lied about something serious, I was faced with rather to tell his Mom what he did and get him on "big time restriction at 14" or let his Dad know, who would have understood better, talked to him about it and I would have earned valuable trust with my grandson, who because of how his life has been, doesn't trust to many people? He trust me, but would have trusted me even more, if I had only been home to handle it. My husband, did what he thought was right, told his Mom as he couldn't reach me nor his Dad and it was serious in his eyes.

So, consequently my grandson who leads a difficult life and a sad one, is back on restriction again, for doing something that any other 14 year old would have done also! If this young man was rewarded for the good things he does and not the negative one's, he would be a different person.

Sorry to bring all this into this question, it just hit home with me! As I remember my grandson, after the damage was done, looking into my eyes and crying, "Grandma now everything that I just got back after being on restriction, will be taken away from me again and I won't be able to talk to my Dad, as it will take me forever to earn them back!" The lie didn't justify the consequences and I could have lied to protect him and what trust I would have earned from doing so! He wouldn't have been on restriction again (from not making his bed, keeping his bathroom clean, all from a very strick step-dad) if I had protecting him and kept it between myself, him and his Dad! This is what comes from a broken home, nothing but sadness, restrictions that are unfair and the child suffers.

I too, could write a book about a lot of these things, maybe you can add it to yours, just kidding!

Number one. Number two reads like a government pamphlet. Good luck. Patrick

'TRUST TO LIE BY' for me Boo - it contains two opposing human characteristics; one honorable, one not so.

Unless content gives reason for the other title, I'd go with TRUST TO LIE BY.

I'd go with 'Trust to Lie By'. Immediately grabs the attention by it's unusual composition. Hope this helps - you are in my prayers.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
