Hey TheBIGman! Welcome to Teenhelp, its always a pleasure to see new people around the forums.

I don't fully understand what your asking, but a lie is never a good way to help someone. The way I interpreted your post is that you'd be able to stop someone from doing something wrong with a lie? While its a good thing you want to help others lying is never a good solution, there's always more options to evaluate. I'd be willing to help you in private if your not comfortable posting that information publicly.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking for, but Ryan is right. Lying is never a good way to go about things. It might seem like you're being helpful at first, but it could just end up blowing up in your face if the other person finds out that you were lying. It's awesome that you want to be helpful though. Just try to find another way to go about it. Hope this helped!

If I correctly understood your post, you know someone who is doing something wrong and can stop them using a lie. I'm going to go against the other two posts because lying can be very beneficial and can be used for positive purposes. If you're going to lie to them, make sure it is very believable, as the best lies always have some verifiable truth to them, that is, if the person investigates, they will perceive what you said to be truthful. Also, your behaviour and body language can suggest you're lying, so you must control them as best as possible. Lastly, don't make it a dead-end lie, in which you cannot add further details at a later point if the person does not buy the initial lie. You don't want to lie about a different lie, which can be very effective but is also very complex to maintain.

I didn't understand what you said. At all.

Can you please clarify your question a bit? On your topic though, lies aren't something you should be resorting to to solve a problem. I do, however, think that little white lies (such as telling a girl whose having a bad hair day that she looks good to raise her spirit) aren't necessarily something bad if used right. Hopefully you find a solution to your problem, and remember that lying isn't always a 'horrendous' thing to do depending on how you use it.

Let's see. Maybe someone is doing something wrong to
make themselves feel better or to gain something out of it,
and you are planning to lie to them about their qualities
(appearance, personality, etc.) in order to stop them from doing it?
