Why is it important to be honest ?

There is always a time where you lie a little. It is always extra important to tell the truth especially when you are in trouble.  I'm not really sure if I had to lie to get something I wanted.  I think I lie at least three times a week or more I'm not really sure on that one either. I only lie to my peeps I have to. I do it just because I try to get out of trouble
