    One time,I told my mom that i was going to my friend's house but in fact we were going to other friends house. When we got ther, there was nobody home and I had to tell my mom to go catch because we had nobody to pick us there. I did it because my mom didn't let me go to this friend's house and I wanted it so much.
    I think i shouldn't hav done it, but in the end it was funny.

    Last week I was at my class and the my teacher wrote on the board an exercise that we had to do for the next day. I arrive home and went to the computer and start to talk on the MSN. My mother told me to do my homeworks and I told her that there was none. I stayed on the computer all the afternom and went to bed at 10 p.m. On the next day I put my cellphone to "call me" at 6:35 a.m to do the homework. I woke up, but I came back to sleep. When i woke up again I was already late for scholl and then i ran to arrive in time. When i arrive there the teacher asked me the homework and the a told him that i forgot it in my house. He called my mom and then I got grounded until today.

    Once upon a time, my spanish teacher asked a work about one book that I haven't read yet. In the day taht we have to bring the work, I told her that my little sister scribbled it and trew it away. My teacher asked me a lot of details about this incident and discovered what really happened. When I arrived at my home, my mother asked me if the teacher liked the work and I said that she was sick and hadn't gone to the school. In the end, my mother didn't discovered my white lie, I did the work late and it was everything good.

    The worst lie that I've ever told was when I had to read "Iracema", a really boring book, I told the teacher that I didn't read the book because I didn't have time to read, because I had lots of things to do like: go to cultura, play basketball, play guitar, walk around sudeoste, anything is better than read "Iracema". Anyway, I made up a really bad excuse, and the teacher gives me a bad grade.- JÚLIA MAIA

    One friend of mine dyed her hair with a strange and horrible color last week. Then, she came to me and asked my opinion about her hair and i said that was very beautiful, because i couldn't say that was very bad. - Vitória

    Last weekend I called my cousin to hang out with me and she said that she was going to her friend's house and she asked if I would like to go with her. I said yes, but I remembered that my mom deosn't know the friends of my cousin. So I said to her that I was going to sleep at my cousin's house and she believed. Then I went to my cousin's house and after we went to her friend's house. They invited some friends and we did a little party. Me and my cousin slept there and in the next day we came back to my cousin's house. Than my mom came to pick me up and she didn't dicovered that white lie. Isadora

    I really don't like to lie:first,because I could be grounded and second because someone could discover the truth.But that day I had no choice.I was making a Geography job with my best friend in her house, when the telephone rang.It was our friend inviting us to go to her cousin's party.It would be the best party of our lives,and we would't miss it for the world! We had a lot of work to do,however we decided to go.The party was amazing,but we arrived home late and we haven't finished our job.On the other day,we didn't have the job,so we told to our Geography teacher that my dog had eaten our homework.She got suspicious and decided to call my mother.The worst part was when my mother told her that I haven't got a dog!After that I stayed grounded for months I decided that I won't lie anymore.

    Last year, my grades in math was very bad. And, my teacher was a door, and everything that we tell him he believes. And then, i told him that i have finished the test, and then i opened my book under the table, look the answers, copied everyithing and put all of them on the test. After this, i had the higgest grade on the class, and passed year calmly.

    A guy of my school has invited me to go to a party on saturday, and everybody was saying that he wanted to be with me, but my best friend has been in love with this guy since I know her! I didn't want to make my friend sad, she's more importante than a guy, so I said to the guy that my dog has died on friday and I was very sad and didn't want to go to the party. It wasn't very creative, I have never had a dog! But it was better, he didn't invite me to go out never more. Taíssa Macedo

    my friend inveted me for a good party in your house but in the same day,another friend inveted me a better party in the paint-ball,so i told for him i´ll travel abroad and i went in the another party.The problem was nobody went in your party and he was so nervous with everybody,just with me he wasn´t nervous.Sometimes the lie is better than true.

    Last sunday me anda my friends wanted to go at the Gay Pride Parade, but I assumed my mother would never let me go, so I ask if she could leave me at the mall, and then we took a cab to the parade, it was a lot of fun there, and we also went back by cab, but my mom thought it was my friend's mother who took me home.

    Last saturday is birthday of my friend Luana and she ask me if i can go out with her, and i say yes of course! Later another friend Fof call me and invite me to go a party, and i said yes, but i didn't remember Luana. I know if is possible i go in the both, but is impossible! So i go out with Luana and Fof call me again and i told her ' I'm going, in 20 minutes i will be there!'

    I lie to my friend, but i shouldn't have done it! And i don't know why i lie, really! Was unnecessary. Mariana França

    Once I told a lie to my mom. Earlier that day I had to stay at my school until late and I had money to have lunch. I was going to eat at my school then my friend asked me with I wanted to hang out with them and lunch at McDonalds that was some for 4 blocks away, and quite dangerous. Even tought I decided to go. In the middle of the way she called me saying she would pick me up at 3 o'clock, I knew I had a lot of time, but when we´ve arrived there started to rain there was no way to get back. When I looked at my watch it was already 2:35 so I started running in the rain back to my school. I arrived there with plenty of time but I did it! Thanks god she never found out or I´d be dead by now!
