Are there ever any times where it is "okay" to lie?

What situation do you think would be okay? The other day, I lied to my friend about something only to help her, I shouldn't have lied but it was the only way I could open her eyes and make her change what she was doing.

    I think there are some exceptions when lying, but usually it's best to say the truth.
