This I believe: Honesty

This picture shows that no matter how much you lie the truth will always come out.

When I was 9 years old I was telling lies to a friend of mine. I did it so that we would have something to talk about, it was about this game on the Internet and when he actually played for himself he realized I was lying. After my friend realized I was lying he stopped being my friend. He didn’t believe anything I said anymore. That should have taught me that lying that was bad but I continued anyway. I guess I told lies because I was scared of what would happen if I told the truth. One day I was talking to my mom when I accidentally told her about something at school that she didn’t exactly like. I told her the truth and also told her about me lying to my friend. She got really upset about it and then I was pretty sure that I shouldn’t have told her the truth, but then after a while she calmed down and told me that lying was bad and that you should never lie. Telling the truth will always be better even if you get in trouble. She told me that everyone hates liars and that if you lie something bad will happen to you. To prove her point instead of not buying me the toy I wanted for a year she bought it for me. Ever since I have never lied, well that’s a lie but when I do I always end up telling the truth and it is usually better. Especially since people go easier on you if you tell them the truth instead of them finding out themselves, which makes them more angry with you for lying. So that’s how I learned that I should never lie and I guess that that’s what I believe.
