Revenge and False Accusations
Consider the following:
Have you ever been falsely accused of anything? What are the reasons people seek revenge upon others? Have you ever admitted to something you didn't do for the good of the whole? Have you ever admitted to something to save someone else? Would you? Have you ever lied to protect yourself? Why? Were there any repercussions to your lies?
Answer some of these prompts with thoughtful reflection. Remember, two sentences does not equal a response.

Yes I have been falsely accused of something. Being the youngest of the siblings, it comes with the job. If my sister does something that she knows will get her in trouble, she will do it anyway hoping she will not get caught. But when she does, she either blames the whole thing on me or convinces my parents that i told her to do it. Even with cousins. Since I have an enormous family, I get blamed as well as blame others. I'm not going to get in trouble. I usually blame my little cousins because they do not get harsh punishments because they are only three. So it is an easy way to not get in trouble. Besides, they won't remember it when they grow up. I actually have lied to protect myself as well as people close to me. Sometimes one just has to lie for the greater good because one little lie can change the outcome dramatically and could screw up everything.
Of course I have been falsely accused before, we dont live in a perfect world. Everyone has the experiance of being falsely accused, sometimes worse than other times. People seek revenge because they have been wronged or they want to point the blame somewhere other then themselves. I have admitted to doing something I havent done before because it saved someone else and sometimes you need to take one for the team. Why...because it was the right thing to do. It sounds dumb now but you can only understand if and when you are in that experiance. Have I lied to protect myself. When I was younger, yes. When you break something and mom comes home and she gets mad, I think any kid would lie. But now that I'm older I try not to lie at all. Because now that I have grown up the same thing seems to happen to my lies. Once you start telling one lie it leads to another and I dont want that in my life. It holds you down.That's not something I need.
I have been wrongly accused before, but it wasn't for anything major. I haven't taken the blame for anyone, but I would do it for a friend. People like to take revenge on others because usually they have been wronged and want to take it out on someone who they feel deserves it. Also, people are attracted to drama. I have told lies before, but i don't know anyone how hasn't. White lies can be the for best for some situations, but it's not good to lie constantly, because then you have to keep track of everything you say and it takes a lot of time and energy.
Yes i have been falsely accused of something, but who hasn't, everyone makes mistakes. People seek revenge mostly because they were probably embarassed, so they want to make that person(s)feel the same way. It makes them feel better about themselves. Yes i have taken the blame just for the good of the whole. Sometimes it is easier to do that then listen to people trying to get the truth out. Ya i have deffinately taken the blame for someone else so they didnt get in trouble, cause their my friends and i don't like it when they get in trouble. Ya i have deffinately lied to protect myself, but everyone has, no one likes getting in trouble.
Throughout my life I have come across times where I was blamed for things I didn't do. It just depends on how you react to it. If you really know you didn't do anything, you shouldn't have to be punished. However I have taken the blame for someone else before, too. Unfortunately, a lot of the blame that was meant for the other person now is on you. Thats why it's hard to admit to things, or to take the blame. I think people seek revenge on others because they were embarassed by something or someone, and they want to boost their self esteem by returning it back to the person, or even a completely different person.
Yes I have been falsley accused of something, alot of things, just little things that happen around the house that my brother did that I will get blamed for. I think people seek revenge or blame other people to cover themselves, its not usually something that someone does because they do not like someone, they are just helping themselves. I have covered for my little brother many of times because I do not want him to get in trouble. Yes I have lied to get out of something or blame it on someone else because I thought that i was going to get a really bad punishment if my parents found out. Which they usually do find out and I get in even more trouble because I lied about it.
I have been falsely accused of something that I didn't do. I believe people seek revenge on others because they are to ashamed of what they have done and don't want to take the consiquences of their own actions. I have admitted to something that I have not done but I also have blamed my brothers for stuff that I have done. I believe that everybody passes the blame to someone else at least once in there life. It is a part of life and people can't help it. There were no repercussions to my lie. But it was over something very stupid. If it had been over something a lot more serious than repercussions can seriously make things even worse.

First of all, I would like to say that I am extremely sorry about posting so long after you posted this blog. I forgot what the assignment was and I am, again, very sorry.
I have indeed been falsely accused of something. I usually get away with various activities that my parents would not approve of, but what really makes me mad is when they hear or suspect something that they then accuse me of. I don't smoke at all, but when my parents came home on night, they thought they smelled cigarette smoke and thus started yelling at me for smoking when I had only burned a bag of popcorn. I think that people seek revenge on one falsely accuse another because they are trying to find a way to even the balance or to try to get dirt on someone who seems so perfect. I have never admitted to something I didn't do. It isn't for selfishness that I haven't done such a great thing; I just hang out with people who fix their own problems. However, if such a circumstance did come up, I believe that I would indeed lie to save someone else. I rarely lie in the first place, and it is an even rarer occasion that I have would need to lie to cover something up. I am hardly ever charged with repercussions because I make it a point to punish myself. I find it impossible to lie all of the time, one of the reasons that I am in good standing with many people.
Again, I am truthfully sorry for blogging so late and I hope you can give me points for my effort.
I have never been falsely accused of anything before but I never give anybody reason to accuse me of anything. People seek revenge on others because they feel that they will feel better about what happened if they get back at the person that caused them misery. I have lied to protect myself several times because i was afraid that if i didn't lie there would be repercussions for the actions that I had actually commited. I have also twisted the truth to get what wanted because if I told the truth I feared that I would not be able to do what i wanted or get what i wanted. I have only been caught lieing once and it was not that big of a deal so I was luckily let off the hook.
