I would sidestep it if I hadn't told all my close friends and family yet. I would want them to hear it from me first.

I would lie if I was pregnant, because I am way, way too young for a kid and would probably go have an abortion. I couldn't bring it up and take care of it, and who it was and everything... no, I just couldn't. It'll just be another non truth to add to the pile.

Certainly not , Why on earth would I lie about something that is going to prove I am a liar in a short time, unless of course I lie again about a miscarriage. What a tangled web

No, because it's going to show eventually so I might as well tell someone (family/friend) so I could get some help and guidance on what to do with it.

Not EVER. It's too important to lie about. Think of how many people are going to be seriously affected by the lie: --the man --his family --your family and of course, your own reputation will be ruined because, pretty soon, everyone will know you lied to get attention. Telling a second lie about an abortion or miscarriage only makes things worse, and you WILL get caught at it. How much will people hate you if they found out you'd been toying with their most serious feelings? ("You" here is abstract, I don't mean you personally.) And it's a lie that will follow you for life. One of the women who claimed Bill Clinton came on to her sexually got investigated, because he said she was lying about it. The investigators found out that, while married, she had lied to her boyfriend about being pregnant AND then had lied to him AGAIN about getting an abortion, and then a third and fourth lie about changing her mind about the abortion, but miscarrying instead! The poor boyfriend's heart was torn to shreds about it; and of course, no one believed her about Clinton after that. http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/03/23/time/willey.html Wait -- I can think of ONE situation. If I were being held hostage and they were going to kill me or sexually assault me, I might claim to be pregnant to try to save my life. But other than that, no way would I say I was pregnant when I wasn't. LATE PS: I didn't realize, until I read the other answers, that the question could be about saying you're NOT pregnant when you are. Sure, I would lie about that in social situations like high school because it's nobody's business (although eventually, depending on the length of the school year, it will be obvious); I'd lie about it in job interviews because even though it's illegal to discriminate on that basis, employers get away with it all the time. I wouldn't lie to my doctors! Lying to family about it depends on a lot of circumstances -- are you 13? 33? 43? etc. Lying to the man about it depends on circumstances, too, but in general, I think it's wrong to hide a child or a pregnancy from the father unless there is reason to believe he would be abusive.

At first, yes, but then no. It is my consequence and if people want to judge me for it, then fine. As long as I tried my best to give my child the best life possible, what would it matter?

i would not lie to people about being pregnant. to me being pregnant is the most beautiful thing in the world. alot of people might lie about it because they're emvbarassed maybe because they are too young, or maybe because the daddy isnt around.

That would be awfully hard since I can't have children. I wouldn't have lied when I could though. I did just the opposite and tried to sidestep the fact that I was at one time.

Yes. But I'm %99.5 sure I'll never have to.

I lied once. I was 14, and pregnant after being raped by my step brother. that was way too embarrassing to me at the time, and when someone, somehow got word of it at school I lied and told everyone that it was just a rumor except for two of my closest friends and a guy I was falling "in love" with. Of course whoever it was never spread the part about me being raped- just that they though I was pregnant, and everyone was calling me a whore. I didn't want to just tell everyone in school what happenned, so I lied. I eventually had a miscarriage.

I cant get pregnant I am a male,I was lied to by a woman who said she was pregnant and needed money for an abortion,I later found out that was a money making scheme she was pulling on guys in st.louis.

I probably wouldn't advertise it if i didn't want it known, but if someone asked me I probably wouldn't lie about it. Unless it was some random person who really just needed to mind their own business, I'd tell the truth.
