Introduction
White lies, which mean little lies usually told to avoid hurting someone's feelings or to manage social interactions smoothly, are a common aspect of human communication. This report explores the frequency, acceptability, and contexts (背景) for white lies among teenagers.
Method
A survey was conducted with 342 high school students from various regions to gather data on their experiences and attitudes towards white lies. Participants were asked how often they tell white lies, what they think of white lies and in what contexts they tell white lies.
Results
The survey found that about 85% of the teenagers admit to telling white lies frequently to protect others' feelings or to avoid conflicts. Their attitudes to and most common situations for telling white lies are shown in the following two charts:

Conclusion
White lies play a significant role in the social communication of high school students, helping maintain peace and prevent minor conflicts. While white lies are generally considered beneficial, it is essential for young individuals to understand the boundaries and potential consequences of dishonesty in their relationships. Educational programmes should include discussions on ethics (道德准则) in communication, helping students know when white lies might be acceptable.
