is it rioght to live a lie to stop ppl from asking?

Somedays we as human beings just feel a bit down... goodness knows what causes it.. we just do.. (It might be the cycles of the moon, the time of the month, itmight be a lot of things...)

When we feel down we tend to wear that on our face and people will say.. "What's wrong with you?" .... and mostly they don't really care what ails you they are asking becuase they have a habit of asking and sometimes they just have a need to know everything about everyone....In this circumstance when people say... "How are you?" or "What's the matter?" it is perfectly okay to lie and say... "I am well." "I am fine."

If you are feeling very down and have lots of sad or/and depressing thoughts, feelings, and ideas and can't seem to see your way clear then it is still okay to tell others who are not really asking because they care a lie..... but you do need to find someone to tell the truth to....

Very often especially during school years we can experience all kinds of thoughts and feelings that if left unexpressed can build up to become problems in themselves... so finding one or two people that you can open up to is helpful... expressing yourself stops things from festering...

If you contemplate ideas of hurting yourself or killing yourself... then please do talk to your parents or your school counsellor... (Be patient with school counsellors they often look after more than one school and have hundreds of kids to care about at each school but mostly they DO care so it is worth waiting for an appointment)....Alternatively if your neighbourhood has a health centre or a youth centre or a neighbourhood centre then you can go there and make an appointment to see someone... or you can make an appointment to see your doctor...

Personally I see no issue with lying to schoolmates about how you are feeling. The only time I would consider lying about your feelings to be perhaps not a good choice is if this may damage your relationship with the individual. (like if the individual is at least partially responsible for you not feeling well)

I have found that the first key to happiness is not caring what other people think, lying to them may be a good start. ;)

I also think calls for therapy and medication and "not living a lie" are all inappropriately harsh.

Please get counselling open up to someone about how you really feel once you get it out you will feel better..

dont keep everything bottled up for other peoples sake your only harming yourself and you are important and special you may just have stress or anxiety dont be scared to ask for help its there for you and it really does help I know..

as you are young its normal to go through this kind of thing as our hormones are all over the place sometimes you dont know how you feel and think what is wrong with me when its just your body changing it can be scary but you will be fine..

e-mail me and let me know how you get on and dont live a lie what good is it doing if your not feeling right just putting on a face for everyone esle's benefit get help now...

Love and luck to you take care

You need therapy and possibly medication for your depression. And no it is not wrong to say I'm fine when someone asks how you are, it is just a polite response to a normal question. The person really does not want to hear a 4 hour dissertation on everything going wrong in your life. Do not feel bad about saying I' fine.

you even ought to ask GD to provide out of that sin and help save you from repeating that sin. we are all not ideal and it really is the reason he sacrificed his loved son for our sins.

PLEASE talk to someone about your true feelings. It's not okay to live a lie. I am praying for you.
