Truth be Told

Honesty. What is honesty? Honesty is being truthful and not lying to another person. Why is honesty important? To me it is important because when you are honest with a person they grow respect for you, and it will help build a strong relationship between you and that person. If you are not honest with a person they will see you as a dishonest person and have a hard time believing you. If you are trying to build a dishonest relation ship with someone it will be hard and pointless. That’s why I try to build strong and honest relationships.

For instance my cousin and I were hanging out one day and he tried to sneak out of his house to meet up with his girlfriend, come to find out his mom knew what was up so a so during dinner his mom started to talk to him about honesty and said to my cousin that he better not be sneaking out of the house. My cousin said “o no mom we aren’t going to sneak out. So when I and my cousin thought that his mom and dad were in bed we hopped out of the window. The bad part of that was that my aunt and uncle were sitting on the swing right around the corner from his bedroom. Ever since then my aunt stopped letting my cousin sleep in the basement. And on top of that she don’t trust my cousin and I. Ever since then I have tried my hardest to be a truthful person so that I can have peoples trust instead of them not trusting me and always having to watch me. To me it is just allot better than being babysat. Now that I am a truthful person I have got a lot more respect

My relationships with my parents completely changed when I started being honest with them 100% of the time. Once, I got in a car accident. I came home and told my parents asap. I never did get punished for it - I just had to pay for the damage. When I asked them why I didn't get grounded they told me it was because I didn't try to hid it.
