White Lies

I suppose in the 'teenage world' it's hard to understand what's wrong with the occasional 'white lie'. You know, especially with it being around Christmas, every teenager in the world is preparing themselves for the 'Yes mum, no honestly, I love my new snuggie... and yeah, of course I wanted a pink one'. Or maybe you're lucky enough to have someone at Christmas and you're round at their house, marvelling in his/her mothers 'wonderful (hangin') boiled (alive) sprouts (pieces of shit)', So yes, obviously white lies are necessary in every day life, and honestly, you're doing it for their own good!
But, they never see it that way. Recently I told my parents that I definitely don't smoke. They then soon found out that I definitely do smoke. Out my window. Not smart. But, I'm still finding it hard to understand why they don't understand why I did it! Did they want to know I smoke? No. Were they happy when they found out? No. And honestly, who still believes the phrase 'I'm more bothered that you lied!'. Uh, no, you're just using the fact that I lied as an excuse to make me feel even more guilty, and thus you, yourself are lying, therefore I should be the one shouting at you etc etc etc.
Personally, I think that white lies are necessary in this day and age. As a teenager I guess anyway. I mean, in the words of Mean Girls (my life) it would be 'social suicide' to join the maths team. It makes more sense to go to a club and drink with you're friends. There's nothing more embarrassing that saying 'sorry mate, I can't come, my mum wants me to make her a Facebook account'. (trust me, I've had to do this). And you're not doing anything SERIOUSLY wrong if everyone else is doing it? Right?
Aha, THAT my friends, is where you're wrong, because, when you're parents don't know where you are, you open yourself up to a lot of dangers..... nah, just kidding. If you stay safe and go out it'll be fine. Promise. End.
