(oral topic from a while back, compiled research...)
In an ideal world, no one would ever lie to you. But in the real world, they would. Lies. We hear them everywhere. Be it from the mouth of a politician glossing over the facts or a desperate student trying to cover up his disregard for homework, there is probably not a single person who has not once in his life told a misrepresented version of the truth. That is also regardless of whether it was unintentional or so that someone else's feelings would not be hurt-or if he did it for more sinister reasons.
It may only be "white" lies, but everybody tells lies or "omits the truth" sometimes. The first lying is usually not malicious. Eventually however, children would begin to use lying to get out of trouble or to get something they want. White lies, thse concocted to protect someone's feelings, are not a big deal. The person who seems to feel compelled to lie about both the small and large things are the ones with a problem. These people are called pathological liars. They lie to protect themselves, look good, gain financially or socially and avoid punishment.
It is believed that a lot of people lie out of politeness or courtesy. Many of us have told untruths when asked for an opinion, whenwe believe in one thing but know that the other person wishes to hear another. Kids have been taught to say "Thank you for the gift. I like it very much." even when they don't, just for the sake of not offending anybody. We say that we like a good friend's new hairstyle eventhough it obviously doesn't suit her. Besides, how many times have we said that a particular dress looks good on a friend eventhough she looks more like she just had a wadrobe malfunction?
Another one of the more common lies would be when a person lies to get out of a sticky situation. Students who neglected to do their homework might think up a lie to avoid getting punished. This is usually a case of evading responsibility. A person does something he knows to be wrong. His fear of the consequences would result a lie, when transferring the burden of the blame to a scapegoat.
We sometimes find ourselves in a situation where we are forced to lie for the sake of protecting somebdy-say a bestfriend. This may include telling a fib to get someone else out of trouble. For example, if you're friend snuck out the night before to catch a movie, you'd lie to her parents saying that the two of you were revising schoolwork at your place.
At the end of the day, it is really up to you to decide on whether or not you want to lie.
EXPERIMENTING
Made chocolate wheaties yesterday
Ingrediants:
Then, the butter and sugar was beaten in a bowl, using an electic mixer until smooth. 
Eventually the already beaten egg is added in until combined
While waiting, put the coconut, wheatgerm and flours into a container. Although it wasn't stated in the book, i sieved the flour. (i don't get the point tho')
They are placed on lightly greased oven trays and flattened with a fork. (the fork is suppose to give them the pattern on top)
Left to cool
