Simple lies that aren't facts but an opinion are different, such as 'do you like my hair?' are on a different scale. You can be honest if it's bad, or just say it looks fine to make someone feel better. Lying in a legal capacity will always end badly.
You are correct with that. Children should not be taught to lie. Do not let them think that lying is correct. I think as parents they should teach the right manners and action.

That's how someone explained or defined a LIE to me. They told me to use that as my guide.
Another guide that I use? Jesus called Satan the father of lies.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44
I don't know much, but I do know if there is deception or deceit involved in something you're doing, then it's not good.
If it's not good then it must be bad or evil. Also I don't like the idea of being one of Satan's children.
So the answer is NO.

This is absolutely correct. If you try to go with the side of evil you become sons and daughters of evil or satan. If you did something wrong you should be responsible enough to face the consequences. You are responsible enough to answer every penalty that your action made.
