Question

adult student but looks young, would it be wrong of them to lie about their age to avoid questioning?

I just mean, i find if you tell the truth, people ask questions and then you end up telling them your whole life story.

Answer 1

Asking a person's age is rude. You don't have to answer.

Answer 2

that's an interesting question... why would you lie just say your age and thats it.... don't go into a big long story just change the subject...honestly its really no ones buisness...good for you about going to school as an adult...best of luck to you and happy new year

Answer 3

i think it is wrong to lie at any time for any reason...that just means one lie will more than likely lead to another and you will forget what/when to lie and to tell the truth eventually..if you cant be honest with yourself and others, who would want to be around you?
ever heard, oh the tangled web we weave?

Answer 4

Lying leads to remembering your lies and attempting to continue your lies. I find lying to be unacceptable for any reason. And what is the purpose? Be honest and accept your fate for that honesty. Morally it makes you a better person and one that people can trust and respect no matter what.

Answer 5

i dont think its wrong, but it takes a lot of effort to maintain a lie...
o wat a tangled web we weave when we first practice to decieve.
theres nothing wrong with changing the truth a little, often, its simpler just to give a simplified version if people ask.

Answer 6

No, but make sure whoever you lie to will not find out later.

Answer 7

I think if you are circumstances that warrant lying do it
