 Okay. So if your parents are unreasonable, then stick with your friends. I know what it's like having ridiculous parents (well, sorta) because I have friends who grew up with them, and I have interacted with them as well and there is little most can do about that.So stick to your friends in this case, and yourself.And remember this above all things (if you want to be one of the 'good guys' and believe me, you want to) Good will always be stronger than evil- because it takes more strength to do the right thing.So even if your parents are dumb, or blame you for everything- stick up for yourself. Be strong, and refrain from lying to even them. Show people you are stronger than lies, and you will be better for it.-Hero

I suggest telling your best friends that you're done with lying, and that you want to turn yourself away from habitually lying.
If they are good friends, they will help you, and you're parents and siblings will be MORE than willing to help you out too.
Keep in mind though, if you give up on them on your ultimate turn-around, it will be really difficult for you to win good favor with them.
Good luck, I support you 100% on this!

I've known several compulsive lairs in my life, and they have all had one thing in common.. they all liked to lie to make themselves appear cooler.
Not lying is all about understanding the value of truth.
I cannot help you, because I cannot understand you.
I think you must have issues from your childhood, and it would pay for you to get some counseling by a person who has dealt with this before.

 when i was your age I kept on telling lies like that for no apparant reason..i was what you'd call an incorrigible liar...I'm religion so I prayed....and told myself I have to stop cause i dont want when I'm telling the truth or am in serious trouble no one believe me and I did that...it was hard but I thought before i spoke..so now people dont even remember that I told lies.....hope you get through this...By the way...have you always been blamed for things you didnt do earlier on in life...or you fear your parents for some reason?

If a liar tells you he's a liar, is he lying?
Think before you speak and think of the repercussions before you tell a lie. Otherwise, nobody will ever believe a word you say, which can result in the loss of friends and/or family. Remember the story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf;" after lying so many times, nobody believed him anymore and he got eaten by the wolf (I think that's how it ends?) Nobody likes a liar, especially when it's over ridiculous things. If you try not to lie, yet you still have difficulty telling the truth, then you may need to see a counselor.
