The Weight of a Lie

Write about a time when you told a lie and how it made you feel. Explore the consequences of this and what you learned from it.

Lying is a trend that surfaces around the age of 5. It’s a clear and universal moral topic most kids can relate to. The lie you choose could be major or minor, but the essential part of this prompt is exploring the emotional repercussions and lessons learned. What led you to this dishonest action? What was the result and what moral lesson did this experience teach you? This creates an opportunity for self-reflection and understanding the implications of one’s actions.
