As kids, people tend to believe all kinds of stories, no matter how far from reality they might be. Be it their parents creating white lies seeking to safeguard them—telling them that the car won’t start unless everyone has their seatbelt on, for instance—or other people making stuff up for one reason or another, it might be a while before they learn that in fact, it was a bunch of… nonsense.

Many examples of information that individuals believed as children, but later realized to be false were shared after the redditor ‘Murky-Razzmatazz-393’ started a discussion on the topic. They asked members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community what were the things they used to consider to be true, and many took a trip down memory lane. Scroll down to find their answers on the list below and see if you used to believe any of the same tales.

Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with Associate Professor at Columbia Business School, author of The Secret Life of Secrets, Michael Slepian, who was kind enough to comment on how white lies can affect people and relationships.

Well, as a kid I loved radishes, my grandpa plantet fruit trees of our favorite fruits for each grandchild, like a Cherry tree and an Apple tree for my siblings...


And a radish tree for me...It was a good tree, when in season, I got to pick a lot of radishes...

Was way to old when I found out... Looking back my grandpa was just the sweetest person one could imagine, placing radishes on my tree (actually it was a Linden tree) when I came to visit.

“In general, when people tell white lies, they often do so to benefit the other person in some way,” Michael Slepian pointed out, making sense out of why some parents choose to tell white lies to their children.

“Whether it’s getting them to put on their seatbelt, telling them how good their drawing is, or allowing them to hold on to their youth, we often intend to protect children and protect their feelings with these kinds of white lies.”

Surveys suggest that quite a few parents have told white lies to their little ones, with some of the most popular ones—in Britain, at least—being the fact that eating carrots will help them see in the dark, that Santa knows if they’ve been bad or good, and that too much screen time can make one’s eyes square.

“For adults, the motivation behind the lie really matters,” Slepian continued. “If a person is lying for their own gain—lying for a selfish reason—people tend to evaluate this negatively. But if a person is telling a white lie to benefit someone else—lying for a prosocial reason—then such deception is seen as less wrong, and at times can even be evaluated positively and as showing social grace.”

Whether it’s white lies or something heavier, learning about a lie can feel like a betrayal, Slepian pointed out. For example, learning that Santa Claus isn’t real can really sting for some time. But, according to him, it’s an unavoidable cost of letting children believe in the magic.

ADVERTISEMENT

“When parents have good relationships with their children, learning about these prosocial lies should not have any long-lasting harm. But when parents have less healthy relationships with their children, then these deceptions may be evaluated differently. If a lie is seen as selfish or patronizing, learning of the lie will hurt more,” the expert explained.

The extent to which a lie might affect the person on the receiving end really depends on the motivation behind telling said lie, Slepian told Bored Panda. “If someone lies to a close friend for selfish reasons, learning about this kind of lie will cause a harm of some kind, one in proportion with the size of the deception. But if the lie serves to protect that other person, that other person should be more understanding.”

That a$$hole who used to haze freshmen in high school became a cop. My brother punched him in the face one day and then that stopped. A$$hole pulled my brother over (which may have been justified because my brother is a better driver) and according to my brother seemed startled upon seeing him and just gave him a warning. I really don't trust that the cop thing isn't another way for a$$hole to lord his power over everyone.

That most people were consistent in their beliefs and their behavior.  That people who said they believed that being kind, generous, and understanding would behave that way -- and fight against things that caused injustice, like they do in the movies.




Watching too much TV and movies made me think that standing up for principles was normal.  I now understand that it is largely seen as annoying, naive, and actually even badmouthed as 'white knighting' or 'being uppity'.




Don't get me started on what real doctors and police are like versus narratives still heavily portrayed on mainstream TV.

White knighting isn't standing up for your beliefs, it means going out of your way to look heroic. And most wannabe white knights are extremely arrogant, prejudiced, preacherish and generally prefer to help people who are clearly in the wrong. Many of them are extremely sexist pigs. They choose their targets for help by looking who creates the most drama and no one else is willing to help, generally for very good reasons, and then go battling for them often against their victims.

It really depends on which channel is sending "the news". A lot of what is called news isn't really the news, it is a tiny bit of information which is heavily wrapped in a message about how you "ought" to feel and act about/in the world. Real news are just updates on what has happened and is served in a neutral way, such that it is up to you to form your own opinion from there. Hence the amount of adjectives, especially the loaded ones (good, bad, evil, horendous, eminent, hopeless etc.) should be minimized to the greatest possible extend. Staying informed is a good thing, as you cannot act properly in a world that you don't understand, but you have to be really critical about which sources of infomation that you use, and analyse it for the underlying intentions. Fox "News" is especially bad and is more like a probaganda channel than a source of usefull information. The language they use is so loaded that it is not that hard to see what is going on.

NOOOOOOO. This is a big reason why people hate vegetables. Gross canned vegetables that get cooked into mush with no flavor does not convince people to give them a chance. My dad told me he was surprised as an adult to learn that he could buy fresh asparagus and bake it and it tastes good. I like how we have all those frozen vegetables you can microwave in a bag. *Though if it is asparagus, it's still better to bake it.*
