There are many reasons why someone might lie. To get out of trouble, to avoid something unpleasant (such as an outing with someone you don't like) or to make themselves sound impressive (also called bragging.) A lie can also be told to keep someone's feelings from being hurt. A lie that is seemingly unimportant and carries little weight is know as a "white lie". In extreme situations, someone might tell a lie to save their life.
