Pranks

Many people(including me) think it is fun to play pranks on others, but is a prank really something you should be playing on other people? I think a prank is consider a lie (a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood-dictionary.com). After all, aren't you trying to make them believe something that isn't true?? Although pranks may be really fun for the person doing them, is it really worth it? Is it really worth telling someone a lie, losing some of their trust, and possibly damaging your friendship with them? That's just what I think about pranks....
