I kind of told a little lie to get a day off from school. My stomach actually has been hurting lately but I would have been fine at school. I kind of just wanted a day off to relax because I've been stressed lately. Is it bad to sort of lie even though my parents (hopefully) won't care and won't find out?

About something small like that, it's not a huge deal. Not that I'm saying you should go skip school all the time, because I'm definitely not. But taking one day off when you're already kind of sick.. I don't think that's a big deal. I think lying is bad when it's about important things. But if there won't be any major repercussions, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just don't make this into a habit.

It is bad to tell a lie for manipulative reasons, to get something, or to mislead, etc. If your stomach has been hurting, it might be from stress, and you probably needed the day off. I don't think you did anything wrong. Now, if you make it a habit and take a day off for every little reason, then you've got a problem.

Yes this is bad. You need to find a way to deal with your stress and taking a day off school without a good cause is NOT the answer. Those stress things will still be there tomorrow so you really are not dealing with the stress by taking a day off. In my house you have to literally prove to me that you are to sick to go to school before I would let you stay home. I am a nurse though and for me your excuse wouldn't fly. Lying only gets you into deeper trouble plus you will have all that homework to make up when you go back to school tomorrow as well as still haveing the stressors there that you are avoiding today.

You're going to tell thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of assorted lies, little, big, sneaky, outrageous lies, before your time is up. We all lie all the time, much of the time even to ourselves. At the end, it's going to be up to you to decide if it's wrong, or whether or not you're lacking self-discipline. Whether or not it was a good idea for you to stay home because you've got an upset stomach and you're stressed out depends on your real situation, and only you can know the whole story. If you get in the habit of being absent from school or from your job, you can expect problems, so is there a better way to deal with it?

a lie is always a lie... and as we are told, lying is bad... so whether it be a white lie or otherwise, it is still bad...
if you were just honest, and had told your teacher that your stomach was aching a bit, then she would have probably just have sent you home without having to lie...
but it was done... just dont do it next time...
