I don't think lying, stealing, truancy and such are necessarily symptoms of BP. In my case though, anger is. My "highs" tend to be peppered with irrational anger, irritability and in my teens and early 20's, rage.

I was, unfortunately, also on the wrong side of the law more often than not, but I don't think it was a direct result of BP, although I'm sure it didn't help.

It sounds to me like you have a troubled teenager with the complication of BP. Manipulation, violence and an inability to accept accountability for ones actions are indicative of mental problems, though not necessarily BP.
