The above link is great I found it when researching 'telling lies' on the internet. It is from a kids site explaining the do's and dont's of telling lies- when it is ok and when you should never tell a lie. It explains very well and is great for kids as they often get confused about what is right and wrong. They don't understand about emabarrassment at a young age. For example on the site is a bit about a child saying "Mommy hopes you don't stay long." when her mother's friend calls round to their house. Obviously, to the child this is the truth but they don't understand what impact it will have.
I think telling lies is another one of those things we all do at some point and can't help it! Sometimes its better to lie than to tell a friend that actually she looks terrible in that mustard colour designer dress she loves so much, paid a fortune for and can't return!
Many people tell lies to cover up bad things they have done... "no i didn't gamble the shopping money away... no I haven't been smoking... of course I would never cheat on you... no I didn't steal it... etc etc" This is simply because they don't want to get found out by people and have to take responsibility.
I think its strange how some people tell lies just for the sake of it but looking up compulsive lying on the internet it is actually a mental health issue. Follow link-
I think for major issues its always best to tell the truth as you'll only get found out in the long run- as it said on one website "you have to have a very good memory to be be a good liar." Meaning that its easy to forget what you have said to someone and trip yourself up. With regards to a relationship, I don't see the point in being in one if you are going to lie to your partner and keep things from them.
