SAT ESSAY When a child grows up, they always learn some bad habits. Lying would be the most common mistake in the human world. Not one person can say they have never told lie. I have lied and now that I am older I realized it does not get you anywhere but trouble. I would lie about the dumbest things in the world. But sometimes the lies helped me. For example, I did not want to hang out with someone so I told them I was at the beach but in reality I was with my best friend. Deception could never be justified because it is just flat out bad, people lose trust in you, and it is basically lying. People view deception as a negative look on expectations. When people ask a question they want the honest truth and not misleading answers. People expect someone to tell them the truth because they can always ask the person something and get a good answer. If everyone wants to be good, a person should not be deceptive. Losing trust with family, friends, and coworkers is a horrible feeling. It is one of the hardest things to gain back in this world. Lies happen all the time and it is hard to trust people. I am always hearing people say how they cannot trust someone and how hurt they feel. When someone is deceptive they are not just hurting them, they are also hurting the people they are doing this too. Being deceptive does not make that person look good and have a better life. Lying never got me anywhere in life but trouble. One time I told my parents I was going to my friend’s house and I actually did not. Well my mom called her mom wondering what time she should come pick me up and her mom told her she had not seen me at all that day. I eventually went home that night and got in so much trouble. I could not hang out with my friends for one month ad no cell phone or laptop. I really hated what I did because if I just asked to do something else they would have let me. I cannot regret what I did because regretting is a weakness to me but I did start telling my parents everything. Deceptive people have to lie to themselves over and over again. I have no idea how they do that but it is hard work. Do not lie because in the long run it is not worth it. Being deceptive makes you a bad person. There is no way you cannot justify a lie over something stupid. Most people today lose respect for deceptive people. To me, those people would have to prove themselves a huge matter and not be deceptive to me again. Is being deceptive really worth it?
