Welcome to Advice Bench!
For several weeks now, I have being watching the movie; PRETTY LITTLE LIARS with my teenage children via Netflix.
Season after season, we have watched as each pretty teenage girl lied to her parents, her friends and everyone she cared about. Even their parents have their own brand of lies and deceit. They have secrets they keep away from their children. One single mum was so cash strapped, she stole money from a customer in the bank where she worked. Just when we think it can't get any worse or the lies can't get any deeper, it does.
In the episode we saw last night, one of the teenagers found out the older boy next door, her parents always referred to as a 'creepy boy, stay away from him' is her step brother. Bam!
Some parents might worry about allowing their teenage children watch Pretty Little Liars. They might worry the movie will equip their children on how to keep secrets and get away with 'murder'.
However, I see it differently. I enjoy watching this movie because it gives my children the opportunity to see how weaving a web of lies can hurt those you care about.
So, here is my summary of a great series;
1. Lies have short legs. It does not run too far.
2. It is only a matter of time for the truth to be revealed. Whether you like it or not.
3. The truth will be revealed by FATE or you get blackmailed into spilling it.
4. And you will watch how those you love and care about fall apart by the lies you told and the secrets you kept.
5. You will have plenty of room for regret after the truth is revealed.
6. Sometimes, you get second chances. But in this movie, a different lie springs up. And I wonder how it will end.
7. In some instances, you don't get a second chance. And you live the rest of your life knowing you are the architect of your own misfortune.
We will keep watching till the end of season 6. My children and I want answers. Pretty Little Liars is an awesome and inspiring movie. Love it.
Pretty Little Liars is an engaging movie with multiple seasons. In this movie, five teenage girls who are all friends lose the leader of the pack when she disappeared one night.

8. Every family has secrets.
My Advice:
Make sure these secrets won't destroy the same family you love so much. Reveal your secrets to each other.
