Many people lie for many different reasons it can be because their mad at something or there's something going on in thief life so they take it out on you. They also might lie to u to save your feelings because they don't want to hurt you or make u feel bad. Also sometimes people lie to save themselves because they no hey did something wrong and they don't want to admit it cause you'll be mad at you. Lying is a wrong thing that bestfriends shouldnt do but so many do anyway. Hope this helps. Good luck with your friend.

They gain absolutely nothing. In fact the lie they give may bite them in the end because they may very well forget which lie they told to which person. If we always tell the truth, there can only be one answer ... we never forget the truth.
