Eight great reasons to tell the truth

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There is a less chance of misunderstanding , confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don't have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain reputation for being truthful- a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside.

These here are some excellent reasons to tell the truth. Telling the truth is much more simpler than telling a lie. When you lie it gets you into another and another lie. A lie is very hard to keep and will eventually come out. The truth always comes out. If you tell the truth you might get in trouble but if you lie the consequences will be 10 times worse.
