The Truth About Lying.
1. Lying to hide something:
People often lie because they want to hide something from
someone. For example, a son doesn't tell his parents that he's
dating a girl because he doesn't think they will like her. Instead,
he says he's going out with the guys.
2. Giving false excuses:
Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do something.
For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will
be boring, so you say you're busy.
3 Lying to make someone feel good:
Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good. For
example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible.
Do you say so? No! You probably say, "Mmm, this is
delicious!"
4 Lying to hide bad news:
Sometimes we don't want to tell someone bad news. For
example, you have just had a very bad day at work, but you
don't feel like talking about it. So if someone asks you about
your day, you just say everything was fine.
IV. Look at these situations. Are they examples of 1,2,3,or 4.

1. You borrowed a friend's motorcycle and scratched it. You're

2. Your friend gives you an ugly vase for your birthday. You
say, "Oh, it's beautiful!"
................
3. You lost your job and are having trouble finding a new one.
An old friend calls to find out how you are. You tell your
friend
you're busy writing a book.
................
4. Someone you don't like invites you to a movie, so you say,
"I've already seen it."
................
5. You're planning a surprise party for a friend. To get her to
come over at the right time, you ask her to stop by to see your
new VCR.................
