HOW TO GET YOUR OWN WAY
BREAKING THE LAW
HOW TO BE A GOOD THESPIAN (actor- in drama classes we studied body language and behaviour a great deal when our character was trying to conceal the truth)
HOW TO MAKE ENSURE YOU ARE THE "ANGELIC CHILD" (lying about brothers and sisters "it was them, not me!" etc, etc...)
