Why We Lie

There are many reasons why we lie. Some of us lie because of fear, sometimes its a habit to people, or just some lie to make other people feel good about something. There are four types of lies. There is the Fear we have that something might happen to us if we tell the truth. Then to people its a Habit because they lie so much that there already use to it. Then there's Modeling. When people lie and for example there kids see this, then they would start lying. The last kind of lie is Overprediction. This is when people lie because they overpredict a reaction or for example if a child says '' I know mom would say ''no'', so I lied. Each type of lie, I agree with it because it wouldn't be true if it wasn't. In my opinion, I think that when u lie, your only lying to yourself. I'm not going to lie, I do lie and when I do, I know inside I'm only making myself look bad or stupid. If you want something or try to get away from a problem, You can lie, but you have to know when to lie. If you could lie in the right moments, you can get away with what your trying to do, for example, there is a girl in my school named Amanda Rodriguez. We both had the same class one day and she wanted to borrow one of my scrunchies for her hair. I lend it to her knowing I wanted it back later. I knew she wasn't going to give it to me, so I went to her gym class and made a big scene. I made Kyle and the security come and escort her out her class because I was saying that I had to leave, when I really didn't. I didn't have to go home or nothing, deep down I just wanted her to get in trouble and have a good laugh and something for her to remember. She thought she was going to get me in trouble, but she doesn't know how to lie. What she didn't know was, I could lie. So when you lie, make sure you know when to, because there are people who think they could lie better than you.

This picture is an example of me and Amanda arguing in Kyle's room about who was lying that day and who wasn't. In between us, there is the truth, because we both know the truth. We just don't want to admit it so instead we are just calling each other a liar, when we know who the liar was. .This picture is an example of me buying a couple packs of lies because I'm just so good with them I could use them when ever I want. Like I said, you know how to lie, then you in good shape. You don't, then your just being a fool. So don't go on ahead and get some lies if you dont know how to use them because your just throwing your money away.
