Introduction
If everyone here says we haven’t lied in our lives, I think it’s a lie itself. I used to steal money from my mom’s wallet when I was a kid. And I lied to my mom that my sister stole it. Of course, I got caught and scolded!
People all may have experiences to tell lies to their parents, friends, or teachers. They might tell lies to deceive other people intentionally, to hide their faults to protect themselves, or to gain some advantages for themselves over others.
