Argumentative Essay: Is Lying A Bad Thing?

Improved Essays
Lying is obviously a bad thing. It’s been in the world since the beginning, when Adam and Eve got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Some articles say it’s good for kids to lie to their parents. That it’s a part of growing up and for the parents not to worry. However they don’t have an article about my current situation; guess the internet doesn’t have everything after all.

This is I believe a quick summary of only bad things. We also do fun things as a family when I’m not grounded. We go out sometimes even if it’s only shopping it’s still all of us doing something without being cooped up in the house. We also go to church on Sunday’s for the most part. Lately we haven’t really done anything as a whole family, Dj has been busy with schoolwork these past months. Hopefully after he finishes we would have more family time during the weekend. But that’s not going to happen if I’m grounded. You see this is an essay..because I lied for 3 weeks. About what you may ask? Well about a boy who asked me out on November 20.
