-Barbara A. Lewis

I agree with Barbara A. Lewis. She is telling the truth. It's always best if there's less confusion because maybe at some point you'll end up confused as well. You also shouldn't blame other people for your actions, it isn't the right thing to do. You learn from your mistakes so don't make another mistake that doesn't allow you to learn from your past mistake. Number is true, lying just gets you into more and more trouble, especially if they finally catch you. People do trust you more when you tell the truth because you gain a very nice reputation and I'm sure most people like that. Once you tell one lie it leads to another and that isn't good if it doesn't add up with your previous one and that's why you should just tell the truth. Being known as a truthful person is very nice. Last but not least, number eight, you do feel secure and peaceful and it's better than feeling guilty and bad. This is why I agree with Barbara A. Lewis and her eight great reasons why to tell the truth.
