Ok, I'm a teenager. So I refuse to "take adult responsibility."
I prefer lying.

"I prefer lying." - That made my day.
These hypocrites rambling on about "adult responsibility" are cracking me up. There are very, very few truly honest people. I've learned through experience that white lies cover a lot of ground in the world. Being honest in situations in which you could easily lie without hurting anyone else is like bringing a knife to a gunfight: it's self-defeating.
You could pretend to have to attend an out of town funeral, say you have to work that day, make up an illness, or just be vague and say that you have an obligation you can't ignore.

So when you lie, you really don't mind being found out?
Did your mom teach you lying was good? Did you EVER get a lesson that the truth was better?
Are you feeling that this person's request is not a big deal? Could you possibly tell her that? Could you tell her that she's taking advantage of you, or would that be TOO honest? In her situation, would you want a reaction like you're having now? Why or why not? Do you believe that you deserve better treatment than anyone else? Why? Do you think that when you are asked a favor it should only be by someone who you owe bigtime? Did life start for you with everyone owing you something? Did life start for you with you owing everyone nothing? I'm trying to understand the balance of good deeds in your life. Help me.
Tell me that the next picture dictionary is not going to use your portrait to illustrate "selfish".

Tell them the other day you found out your grandfather is in the hospital because he had a serious stoke.
You: "You know man, I really wouldn't mind going, in fact I really want to go, you know, but I just found out my grandfather is in the hospital because he had a serious stroke. I don't know what to do.... and.... things are hard on me right now, you know. My grandfather needs me more than ever. I really want to go, but right now, I need to be with my family....my grandfather. Just....I hope you understand, man. This is just how it is. Aight, so can we do this another time?...."
That is what you should say. If you want me to write more, email me.

You can tell the person that you don't want to go. And if you're sure it's the place and not the person suggest somewhere else.

It is not good to lie and just tell your friend politely that something has come up and maybe another time. She ask you what and you just say it is personal and she will get the message or tell her I am not at liberty to say.

If you really don't WANT to go, why do you need to come up with a lie? Can't you just explain to the person why you don't want to go?

"I have other plans." (leave off the part where the other plans consist of doing anything but going out with them)
