Lies that I have told people

Natasha;

There were so many lies that i actually told people especially when i was in boarding school. I was 13 years old at that time and i got offered to go to a prestigious fully-residential school in Cyberjaya, named Sekolah Seri Puteri. I was only 13 years old and it was really difficult for me to accept the fact that i will be leaving my family. So i wanted to get out from that school because orientation week was extremely tough. The form 1 students were not allowed to call their parents for the whole week and i was somehow mad because i had so many things to share with my parents. On Sunday, my parents visited me and i hate to admit that i'm not the type of person who is good at showing my expressions. So, i faked a smile and acted like everything was perfectly fine. We had lunch at the cafeteria and i could not take it any longer, i started to cry. I told my mother that i would like to move out and go back to my previous school, Seri Bintang Selatan. My mother asked me why and one of the reasons were "I hate this place. I can't even shampoo my hair because there's not much time" Okay, that was a lie i told my mom. To be honest, that was not the main reason why i wanted to move out. I wanted to move out because i could not stand living with such a little freedom. A few weeks passed by and i started to adapt myself ((very)) well in Sekolah Seri Puteri. We were only allowed to have one outing or an overnight once in a month. When i went home for an overnight, i would make diseases. I took a red marker and i started making dots on my hands and legs. My mother would never buy any of my 'I'm not feeling well' stories. Sad. My aunty is a doctor so i can simply request for an excuse letter from her. That was the only time i did that because i did not want her to get into trouble. When i was in form 1, i became famous among the teachers and wardens pretty quickly because whenever they could not find me in class, they knew where to find me. I was always at the sickbay. I always hoped that i could get the permission to go back home because i was 'sick'. There was this one time that i lied to my warden by telling her that one of my relatives was about to die so i had to go home. Then the upcoming week, i told her that i had a wedding to attend. Which... was... also... a... lie...!!!
The only sports i like playing until today is bowling and also cheerleading ((Don't judge. I was fit okay!!)) So when it came to other sports, i will always lie to my teachers by telling her that i was not fit to run. I had stomach ache, fever, my eyes were itchy, i had skin problem and the list goes on. Suddenly, when i was having my cheer practice, my teachers saw me and they asked me "I thought you were sick?" "Well, umh yeah that was 15 minutes ago" ....Awkward. I got myself into a lot of trouble when i was a student there. Have you ever watched Wild Child? Well, it's relatable to me tho. I guess, that's all from me :)

My name is Rahmadhakimi bin Jupri. I am from Sungai Buloh,Selangor. Here are my story about my lies in my entire life. As we know, lies and life cannot be separated and cannot be avoided because it is a norm in our life. Yet, lying does not mean cheating in a bad way. There are people that need to lie in order to protect their self or others.

First, when I was a kid, I lied to my mother by asking pocket money saying that I need to use it for buying a candy but instead of that I bought a fireworks. Next, I lied to my coach once during training. There was a time, my coach asked me to run around the field 10 times but I only did 5 times. Further, my friend’s pant was dirty on his butt, but when my friend asked me whether his pant dirty or not, I lied to him by saying no. Furthermore, I lied to my teacher. She asked me to submit my exercise book but I did not submit it and I told her that I forget to bring the book but actually the book was inside my bag and I have not finish it yet. Last but not least, I lied to my father. I told my father that I wanted to go to school but instead of that I went to cybercafé. On that time, I am to addicted to online game.

In the nutshell, lying does not mean doing something bad. Sometime we do it to avoid from offending other people. In the other hand, you should not lie to people to offend and just for fun. You need to be considerate and honest so that people can trust your word.

Like any other normal human beings out there, I'm nothing close to perfect. Thus, there are times when I was not being honest. Be it with my family, friends, and even myself. Last year I worked for a Japanese company named Muji. Sometimes whenever I excused myself to the toilet, instead of going there I actually went to a convenient store. I do it all the time haha. One time, I told my mum I had some homework discussions with my friends at school, but I was actually going out having drinks at Starbucks with them.

Other than that, I often lie to my mum telling her that I have enough money with me. I dislike burdening her. Next, the famous lie I'm sure all of us had once told someone is, "I'm on my way". But truth be told, we are still at our home combing our hair or putting a few last touch up on our faces. Haha. Another lie I told my friends quite frequently whenever we are texting each other is I would say that I'm still not sleepy, but truth is, my eyes are droopy and I wish to sleep. Haha I'm a heavy sleeper. There is a few more that I would like to share about the lies I have told, but I think all of these above are more than enough. Hehe that is all from me!

We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. People are dishonest because they believe that the others can't handle the truth, which for most cases its true because the truth most of the time is bitter. But i think that no matter how hard the truth is we should just be straight up and honest. For me, if we tell the truth we don't have to remember anything. So here i want to share, lies that i have told people. One of the lies is if anyone ever brings up any song, i pretend i know it. I am not sure why did it. Next is, when my friends ask me "where you at?" i will definitely answer that i am at some cool hangout place far from them. The truth is i'm at home watching cartoon. More over, i did lying to my parent that i'm going to school for attend a Co-curriculum activity but actually i am going out with my boyfriend watching movie at cinema. Oh my dear parent, i am so sorry and i love you guys <3. Last but not least of course one lie that we will never stop having is, lying to ourselves. Lying to yourself maybe to build some confidence, or even maybe to understand something. As humans, we perform a lot of acts we wish we had never done, and we spend a lot of our time on earth regretting what has already been done, something we can't change. So, that's all from me. Thank you, xoxo :*

Everyone has lied at least once in their lifetime. Even though we are very much stubborn that we should not lie, the situation makes us to lie. I often lied to my mum about my exams result hahaha sorry mum. There was this one time when I told my mum that I had activities in school but instead of attending it I actually went to KLCC with my friends, hehe oops. Next is, I am the type of person who likes to say "I'm on my way" but actually I'm still on my bed thinking of what to wear that day hahaha I am so bad. I also once lied to my mum's friend by telling her that her new baby is really cute when the baby actually isn't very cute at all. Sometimes I say I have plans to do something when I actually don't, just to get out of having to tell someone I don't want to go out with them. I like to pretend to be sick, or to actually make myself sick to avoid a task or situation. I still remember I told my mum that I'm not feeling well so I can skip school because I don't like the subjects on that day haha. Actually, there's much more lies that I have told people but I guess, I'll just stop here because it would be so long if I keep on going hehe.

Hello , assalamualaikum, name given Muhammad haziq , i'm 19 years old and from Kepong, KL. My story for today is about lies that i have told people. There were many people that i have lied especially my best friends, my housemates. I usually lie just for fun but only with my friends. My lies are part of my everyday jokes. 

When I was younger, I used to lie to my parent. Who doesn’t, right? I used to told her that I want to go out and study. But instead, I want to go out and play with my friends. Buy hey, I was too young and too dumb back then. Now I realise that we should never lie to our parent. Cause they always want the best for you and they want to keep you safe. They do that because they love us. A single mother can take care of 10 children, but 10 children doubly can take care a single mother.

I remember 1 lies that I have told my friends and they bought it. When all of my housemate are going back to their home, later then, I texted them in our housemate group chat in WhatsApp, and I told them that we all need to move because our house owner want to rent the house for someone else. So, we need to pack our stuff and leave the house by sunset. One by one, they immediately return to our house. And yet, I act like nothing happened.  They get so angry with me.  But I laughed at them. Later that night, I treat them to dinner as an apology.

I’ve learned that you should just be honest and never lie to other people. Cause trust are hardly to gain. Once you’ve lost people’s trust, no one can ever believe everything you said. Learn from your mistake. Do not repeat it ever again. Trust me, I’ve known better.

We tell lies when we afraid .. afraid of what we don’t know , afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie,the thing 
that we fear grows stronger. Im always tell a lies to my parents , it is because I want to be more freedom. For examples, I want to go out with my friends, instead of being straight forward. I tell my parents that im going to library to study. When I was 10 I used to play with my dad’s document, and mess it up. When it get messed up, my father will scold me for touching his documents. To cover up myself so I don’t get scold , I will tell my father that my younger brother touched it because he don’t know anything. These are the lies that I’ve told my parent. When we grow older , we will meet so many type of peoples, It doesn’t mean we will never tell lies to them. In College , everyday we will get tons of assignments, courseworks and exercises. Our lecturer will give us some times to finish it, but when im haven’t done my work , I will always tell lies to my lecturer. I will tell them that ive forgotten to bring my work, my internet got problem so I couldn’t email my work to my lecturer and many more lies that ive told. These are the lies that ive told my lecturer in the college. Im also have told lies to the public. When I was in the city alone , and strangers approached me and ask for my name , age and my house address. I told them my fake name , age and address, this is because im afraid of what will be found out about me. Our society these days are very dangerous , we cant really trust everyone that we just met. I moved around a lot as a kid , never staying in a school for longer than 7 months, I decided to start making up stories at each new school I went to. At my last middle school, I told everyone I was from overseas and spoke in Canadian accent to make my story more believable. What I didn’t know is that I’d end up staying in that town for my first two years of high school as well. I kept up the charade as long as I could. It all unravelled after a sleepover, one of my friends asked my mother why she moved from Canada. I could say she was confused. Those are the lies I have told people
