Most people say that no matter what the circumstances, they won't lie. Well, first of all, that was a lie. Everybody lies at some point or another. 9 times out of 10 people will lie to protect themselves from certain consequences. Whether it is getting grounded by their parents, or if it as extreme as going to jail. I know I lie, but I try not to if I don't have to. Although, even if I do lie, my parents usually figure out that I was lying in the first place and I get in more trouble. With that in mind, I try not to lie. I used to lie all the time. I wanted to be on my parents good side and wanted them to be happy. But lately I have been telling the truth a lot more because they like knowing the truth even if it hurts them.
Would I lie to protect myself? Yes, most likely. But only if it is for a good cause. I would most definetly lie if it is for "the greater good" as some may say. I would especially lie if it were to help someone in need. The reason I would lie to protect myself or others is because sometimes, in the right situation, it may be the right thing to do. Some situations may require you to lie to protect yourself or someone else from embarrassment, injury, bullying, punishment, etc. I'm not saying that lying is the right thing to do in every situation, but sometimes it's the right choice.
