Yes, honestly i lied to my parents. Its happened when i was in elementary. I didnt like my teacher, she was old, boring, and scary. When my mom picked me from school, she talked to my teacher, and i was crying that i wanna eat big bread with strawberry cream, but actually i didnt. At that time, i disliked my mom talking to my teacher, i was cheating and doing something bad in my class... I just didnt want my mom knew it all... i hated. I lied also to my mom, said that i wanna go home after finish class, but i hangout with friends. lol! It was in high school. Now... i dont want to do bad things to my parents. i always send my list expenses and even the original receipt for all my expenses... im a good girl now. lol

I guess!LOL, Sometimes, when I don't like to attend to any relatives party, I will pretend that I am not feeling well and let mom excuse me not to go to the party! I also remember, when I was in first year College, I pawn her ring and use the money in buying blouses and food, good thing I was able to get it back after one week so, mom has no idea about it!

Yes, I have but never the big lie. Lying is something that comes to me naturally and I would not lie if I can help it. In fact the only time I would lie is to protect someone else. I do not lie to protect myself and I believe that I can face the music, a prospect which I find more preferable to lying.

I'd being lying if I say I never did. I lied to my parents a lot when I was younger. I was a rebel teenager and sure did give my parents a lot of heartaches and headaches. But I regret that now and I try to make myself a better person each day. Although I still lie about little things so they stop nagging me, like how I spend my money each month.

Yes, I have lied to my parents many times and about many things. But when you are younger I think we just feel that it is the easier way to go. I have come to realize it is better to be honest and open with them. It prevents alot of trouble sometimes! As for what I lied about...I can't remember exactly all the stuff, but I do remember one that was a turning point for me and lying to my dad in particular. We had a school sports day and went to a stadium to have the event held. After getting to the stadium, a "friend" and I ditched the event and went to a mall instead! We planned on getting back in time to catch the bus, but uh oh! We missed it! and had to travel home. Well when I got to a little cafe, where I used to wait for my dad to pick me up he wasn't there yet so I thought. "yes i got away!" My bad...he came pulling up about 10 minutes after I reached there and when we got home, oh boy...that's when it all came crashing down and I had him really worried when he didn't see me come off the bus...and he went asking at the girls house for me and other places as well. Well I got grounded for about 3 months. Talk about having lots of privileges taken away! Well, I learned from that day...

I am sure there was a few times I lied to my mother and father when I was a teenager also. Espically when there were things I wasn't suppose to have done. I realize know though that it was wrong to lie the older I got.

During my primary school days my mom not allowed me going home late so everyday I had to come home punctually. Once some of my classmates were planning to visit the orchard of our monitor and I couldn’t refrain from eating the freshly delicious durian so I lied to my mom, telling her there was an extra tuition class on that particular day. Of course after I was satisfied with what I wanted but also to punish not to have pocket money the whole month.

Oh yeah I've lied to my mom. Small lies though. I wouldnt ever lie to her to where I know she would be angry with me. I used to do it saldomly in Elementry school. Now to this day at 22 I am on my own living with my husband and children. I tell her small white lies when I know the truth would just be too much on her. I dont like to do it but I just hate to see my mom upset.
