Reflection: I think a lot of people can learn from these eight reasons to tell the truth because it explains why you shouldnt lie. I think that my favorite one would be number six. I think that it is very true because one you lie once, to keep your first lie, you begin to make up more lies. I think that soon after you start lying a lot, you begin to make it normal but you will get caught sooner or later.I think the one that is most important here is the last one number eight. I think its the most important because its about how you feel after you’ve told the truth. It says Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside. I think that its important because when you have told the truth, you don't have to worry about getting caught because you know you have done the right thing.
