"Big people doh tell lies' this saying implies that adults are always truthful and must be believed. This saying is frequently repeated to children when they voice their option by saying an adult is lying about the child. Children are often looked at as second-class citizens when it comes to conflicts that involved a child and an adult. The opinion of the adult is most often seen as the truth and the child is looked at as the one telling an untruth even if the reverse is the truth.
