Often we speak to friends or people we are normally close to about lots of things. We could be talking about the last vacation, our new house or job, the latest show or cinema program and some other stuffs. However, in the middle of normal talk, one thing leads to another and you find yourself being pushed to talk bad or even lie about someone.
