Honesty

       Honesty is the act of being honest. When you are honest, you tell the whole truth, even if it might get you in trouble. If you are an honest person, you would tell the truth all the time. But, there is a lie called a white lie. A white lie would be not telling someone about a present you got them or a surprise for them. It would also be saying how you love their new shoes, even if you hate them. A white lie is telling a lie, but so someone else’s feelings don’t get hurt, or so you don’t ruin a surprise. White lies are the only exception to a lie. But, if you are lying so you don’t get in trouble, like if you stole something, but when your mom asks you about it, you say you don’t, that is not a white lie and it just isn’t right to do. Lying isn’t right to do and it could hurt yourself or someone else. That is why you should have honesty.
