When asked this question, several students cited convenience, excitement and peer pressure as their main reasons. Excitement is what most of us want in our lives. Some people believe that lying is the way to get it. I found this attitude to be equally prevalent among some of my female classmates. Enlightening conversation requires intelligence and sophistication at the very least.
Some people lie to fit in.
They figure that since everyone else is doing it they might as well. It is obvious that doing what everyone else is doing can be unwise and sometimes dangerous. First, we need to stop, look, and listen to what we say and why we say it. Keeping a journal of any lies that we tell may make us surprisingly aware of the things we say. Secondly, we must not be afraid to confront lying when we hear it.
