"Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it." I told my mum I had finished my homework even though I had not done so. The next day when I had to hand in my homework, the entire page was blank and realised that I had not completed my homework. After that, my teacher lectured me and I felt guilty for lying to my parents but also lied to myself. I promised myself to never lie and decide to turn over a new leaf.

"Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and  the lie we tell ourselves to justify it." After looking back what I had done, I have learnt not to tell lies. I should not have lied to my friend that I still had her favourite pen with me. I should have told her the truth that I lost her pen and apologise to her. This memory has taught me a valuable lesson and it will forever remind me to be honest to others.

Looking back, I realised my mistake. As the saying goes, "Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it." My mother had always told me to study and and study smart but I refuse to study. She keep saying "If you keep saying telling me you study but you actually don't, you will not only lie to me, but you will lie to yourself too." Now, I had failed all my subjects except for science, my weakest subject. I now want to turn over a new leaf by doing my work when I need to, excercise when I need to and rest when I need to.

"Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it." The lie i told my mum was that i was doing something else when i was using the computer. I wanted to use the computer for a longer time than i was allowed to. The lie I told myself to justify it was that I was doing my work anyway and it should be fine to use the computer.

"Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it."I finally understand this phrase's meaning.On that fateful day, I had failed my pop quiz and was feeling down.When I had reached home, my cheerful mother greeted me at the front door as usual, and she sensed something was wrong right away. Although I kept saying no, she persisted and eventually, I told her what what had happened. Although I was sad about my pop quiz result, I was more worried about the lie I had told my friends. I had showed off that I had gotten full marks when in reality, I just passed. My friends then shared with me their marks; it was no better than my actual marks. The whole day, I avoided my friends, unable to face them as I thought myself as a bad friend. This eventually caused a misunderstanding and my friends thought that they had offended me unintentionally. They did not focus on lessons for the rest of the day. My mother advised me to come clean with my friends the following day. Fortunately, my friends forgave me and reminded me that they would always be there for me. I felt terrible as not only had I nearly lost my friends by lying to them, I had also lied to myself.However, I am also thankful for this incident as this showed me once again how true my friends are. From that day onwards, I turned over a new leaf and was known for my honesty.

"Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it." My Grandmother told me. On that day, I asked her what it means and finally now I understand it. The one day, when I asked my friend if she got everything needed for the Math examination. She showed me all her stuff but when she took out a shiny black calculator, I asked how she got it. " Oh, I swiped it from the Centre City Bookstore. Anyway the prices are a rip-off. It's easy, everyone does it." She said. The next day, I went to the Centre City Bookstore and I saw the calculator. Then I remembered what my friend said and swiped the calculator form the shelf. As I went out, the shopkeeper stop me and reported me to my parents as she saw me shoplifting. I pleaded them to give me a second chance by writing a letter and they accepted it. I now understand what my Grandmother mean. I promised myself to never lie and decide to turn over a leaf.

"Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it." My teacher reminded us never to tell a lie. I had always heard the saying before, but now I truly understand it. A few days ago, I broke my mother's favourite vase but blamed it on my sister. She got scolded and my heart felt really heavy. I kept lying to myself that it was ok even though it wasn't. In the end, I could not do it anymore and told my mother. Even though she grounded me, I was happy that I did not lie to myself. Ever since that day, I swore to never lie ever again.

Looking back, I realised my mistake.  I really regrated doing that. As Marie told me, "Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it." I was so touched hearing that that tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably and my face glowed red in embarrassment. In the end, I did not just let my best friend, Marie down but I also let myself down as I had lied to myself. Thankfully, Marie was nice enough to forgive me and we were able to mend our friendship. I promised myself to never do that again and turn over a new leaf.
