Can you keep a secret?

Okay. First of all, my penmanship is worst than a kid’s hand writing. So I just had this type written. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not too idle to not write this down. I actually tried writing this down, but I couldn’t read it myself either. So I thought resolving to typing would be more legible. :D

The thing about lying is that you have to do it to protect. I mean take this girl that I talked to last bequeathal night, if told her that her dress colored with every colors of the rainbow shouldn’t be worn in the first place and that it should be burned as soon as she gets home, she might get depressed. And it will be my entire fault
Another thing about lying is that you have to do it to protect yourself. It’s a natural defense mechanism when you get stuck in a tell-the-truth-or-die situation. Therefore, from grade six to the present, approximately four years, I have told the following lies: 1. I don’t lie…only when necessary 2. “I’ll study later” 3. “Gosh…you’re pretty” 4. “She such a great partner! I wouldn’t have done this project without her help” 5. I’m not sarcastic 6. I haven’t experienced my first kiss yet! [hilarious story behind it] 7. “I love your gift last Christmas…pretty…uhm…mug [?]” 8. “The rose? I just got this somewhere around campus. Isn’t it such a coincidence, and on valentine’s too.” 9. My confessions every recollection day 10. “I don’t have cash right now. I…uhm…lost it a while ago” 11. I like spending lots of time with my kuya’s girlfriend. I don’t mind having her at home often 12. “I’m listening” 13. I hate being top in the class. I think belonging in the top section is stupid. I would hate it to be one of them 14. “It’s fine. Really. It’s nothing” 15. “…I’m okay” 16. “Hmf…I don’t want to go to UP in collage anyway…” 17. “Of course

    Stephanie Ericsson is going to explain lying in her article “Ways We Lie” her main point is to show that lying is not only going to hurt you but also others. I agree with Ericsson about all people lie. Ericsson starts off with explaining the white lie which is a lie that you use when you think it is necessary to lie rather than to tell the truth. Sometimes you think a lie is easier for someone to handle rather than the cold hard truth.…

    One example of me lying would be the numerous times I lied to my mom saying I don’t have homework when I actually do. I work really slowly on my work, so I lie to her so she doesn’t get onto me for not working fast enough and look down on me, which ultimately hurts my good name… just a little. I still do my work; she just doesn’t know it, which seems counter intuitive. I instead tell her that I’m getting…

    Why Are Lies Wrong

    The debate over the acceptability of lying is a complicated one. Some feel that it is morally wrong and only ever worsens a situation. Others feel that it is acceptable in cases where feelings could be hurt, or if a person’s self-esteem may be lowered. However, there are instances in which lying happens simply to avoid the consequences of a person’s actions, and most would agree that it is morally wrong. Instead of going back and forth between “lying is wrong” and “lying is okay sometimes,” a better use of our time would be learning to improve our honesty with ourselves and with the people around…

    “Not only is lying justified, it is sometimes a moral duty,” say Randy Cohen, an ethics colonist.(2) Lying could get people out of trouble and save someone. Lying could get people out of trouble because when you get in trouble by your parents you would not want to tell them the truth you would want to exaggerate and lie to convince them not to get you in trouble. “Lying is not just to lie it is not to tell a whole lie or a whole truth” said 16-year old, Margo.(7) When you lie you don't lie for the fun of it, you lie because either you're in trouble or you want to exaggerate on…

    Effects of Lying

    Lying destroys trust amongst people and results in lost prestige. When trust is lost, it is difficult to earn it back because we tend to assume that a person who has lied once will lie to us again. We then start to put our defences up against that person in order not to be deceived once again. Not only that, sometimes, we also tend to bear a grudge for long periods of time and it takes a while before the person who lied is forgiven, that is, if we ever choose to forgive and forget. The…

    Can You Keep a Secret?

    Where am I? What am I? Who am I? How did I get here? I am asking myself all these questions as I am lost in my own thoughts. I don't know how I got in the place I am now. What has gone on in my mind to make me disobey my mother like I have. Running into different arms of different boys each time she turns around. Am I just seeking attention or is it love that I want to find? This is all so questionable when someone grows up in a fatherless home. I feel like I have fallen away from the person I once was. It all began at the beginning of my Senior year when I had my first real serious relationship. You are probably thinking, wow Senior year and your first serious relationship? You must be ugly, slow, unwanted,or something close to one of those things but no, I am beautiful, there have been people who have wanted to care for me but I wouldn't let them. The number of guys I have turned to for support makes me look like the biggest whore but I'm not. I don't sleep around like the other girls. I have let my mother down and she was afraid to tell my dad because she already knew I was going down a bad path and she didn't want to make it worse, she just tried to warn me and I never listened. I meet the guys I date, online and yes I know it's dangerous but is it such a bad thing? I could go to meet a new guy and that guy be the sweetest guy in the world, this has happened. Then there is a possibility that I could go to meet a new guy and not really know him that well, and that's what I have done. I was confined in a house and I always wished I would have listened to my mother. I would wait at home until my "boyfriend" walked through the door. I had to be very careful not to offend him or do something I know he didn't like. I tried leaving but that seemed impossible. It sickens me to know I have let my life fall this low. I had never been the one to do anything sinful, but getting beaten if you don't do as…
