“What’s Something You Were Told As A Child By Adults That You Now Realize Is A Complete Lie?” (22 Answers)
We all know that parents lie sometimes. From small white lies to much bigger things, probably all of our parents have 'warped the truth' at least a little at some point or another. However, some experiences are much more serious than others, and the falsities that our parents tell us end up hurting a lot or changing our understanding of the world around us.
This online user decided to get some stories from people by asking them about the lies their parents told them, and it led to all kinds of interesting tales. Some are funny, some are pretty horrible, and some might make you question why some people are even parents. If you have anything similar to share, please feel free to do so in the comment section below!

That a degree would open all the doors and knowing about politics, history and general stuff would make me an interesting person and that socializing was a waste of time. Nowadays I work for a big4 but I have the personality of a boiled potato. And they have the nerves to ask why I don't have a girlfriend or more friends at 27. Teach your kids social skills. Studying is not everything

My mom always said "who wants to be beautiful has to suffer" while she untangled my hair with a comb. It's a Dutch saying, but it's so weird thinking about it now. It was also never said to my brothers

Women can’t cut straight lines (especially in cheese and bread) because of their elbows.
You can’t use tampons unless you’re not a virgin.
Children always have the exact same blood type as the father and If it’s different, the mother cheated.
‘Hons’ after a persons qualifications means it’s honorary and they didn’t actually earn a degree.
You can’t have measles if you’ve had chicken pox and vice versa.

That you can't be full unless you eat bread. Carbs actually make you hungrier. Protein fills you up. Also: if you drink coffee, you'll grow a tail. Don't ask me where I'm from.
