Many people find it easier sometimes just to tell a lie when they want to get out of a certain situation. But sometimes, that's not the case. Althought some people tell the truth in some situations, it can be a rarity.
Brandon Mendelson who is a 26 year old web publisher from NY, says that "I think its a moral imperative to tell people the truth." People who tell the truth, however, are commited to honesty regardless of the social repercussions. That means that those who tell the truth do so even thought it might not be the best thing to do or the most accepted thing to do.

Many people lie everyday. I lye sometimes to get out of trouble or because i do not want to be face with a situation so i lie to get myself out of it.
When you lie it can get you out of trouble or just get you in more trouble. i lie to get out of trouble or if i just dont want to get caught in a situation that is pointless.

I don't lie as much as i used to when i was little mainly due to i started to feel guilty that i used to lie to get myself out of trouble so thats what i would use to lie of.
People lie only to get out of situations where they feel like they might get in trouble, or when they feel like they should make themselves feel cooler than he/she really is. For example, when people lie about things they did in their life that would make people be amazed at them.

I lie to get myself out of trouble or not to offend someone.

I only lie in cases that I'm told to or when i need to cover something up. It's hard to when it comes down to keeping things from friends, but when it's not your business, it's better that it's left the way it is.
