The lies you were told as a child.

[GazJD]

Well I went trough a phase of only eating pork. Needless to say every meat we had for dinner, be it lamb, chicken, beef, fish or ham was indeed labeled as "Pork".

And i don't know if this is true but one of my old teachers told us he taught his son to believe red was green and vice versa, just to tell his students the effects of his "Experiment" later on to his pupils. I would like to think he was telling the truth.

Oh and i remember my parents telling me "GCSEs are important in your life!" needless to say that was a huge huge lie. Figured this out when I got a job with the MoD with C's and my mates got A*'s and now work in Halfords . For all those non-British people reading: A GCSE is the qualification you get at the end of your schooling life.

That high school is fun
(Freshman this year)
IT IS A LIE!

Just wait till senior year when you don't really have to do anything...it's sweet.

On topic: The only ones I remember are the watermelon and the tooth fairy.

 

[Simalacrum]

"Santa really exists!"

to be honest i think nearly EVERYONE has been told this lie

 

[Lyiat]

One word. Cake. /thread

 

[Kage Me]

That if you eat a lot of carrots you will see better.

This is sorta true... If you don't eat enough carrots, you will see worse.

When I was young, I was told that pads/tampons were for women who couldn't control their bladder.

I was told that if I sucked my thumb that my teeth would end up like Bugs Bunny.

I've haven't sucked my thumb since.

 

[Haliwali]

I was told that if I sucked my thumb that my teeth would end up like Bugs Bunny.

I've haven't sucked my thumb since.

Sort of true. Sucking your thumb will affect the way your teeth grow.

 

[EeveeElectro]

To stop me sucking my dummy, my mum told me the cat pissed on it.

It worked.
I also remember a friend telling me that her mum told her if she buried her dummy in the back garden, a tomato plant would grow.
I liked that lie.

 

[Wislong]

You know how at the end of every loaf of bread there's that bit that has one side of complete crust... I was told that it made you grow up to be grumpy if I ate it.
I don't think I've ever eaten a slice.

Hey when I was your age Pluto was a planet. So it still is as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

That college is the best time of your life.
You can do anything if you set your mind to it. BS! You can do what they're willing to let you do.
You can be whoever you want to be. (As long as it is what everyone else wants you to be then sure)
Follow your dreams. Another steaming pile of garbage. What they never tell you is not everyone can have their dreams.

 

[samsprinkle]

That there was this all powerful benevolent being called god. That was a pretty big one.

You too huh? My grandparents nailed me with that one...and then I grew up enough to think for myself and realized even if he was real...I don't fucking like the prick!

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

They fully supported any career I chose. Then the truth reared its ugly head as I started choosing colleges.

 

['DucereExemplo']

I was told that if I chewed my fingernails, my fingers would fall off.

 

[Mr. Purple]

I think im gonna tell my child that the easter bunny is a crack dealer that smuggles drugs in colorful eggs....

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

Not many, just the watermelon one, and like santa and his fellow make believe compatriots.
Also God, and so far he hasn't given me any reason to believe in him.
Oh and the Gum one. Also that eating most things I don't like will put hair on my chest.
