Eight Great Reasons to Tell the Truth 

Barbara A Lewis
  1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's 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 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 a reputation from being truthful - a trait most people value
  8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside.
All of these reasons are true in most cases. Honestly, if you have good values and were told at a young age that lying was wrong then you would not need to be reminded. I noticed number 2 talks about being honest about things to not harm the innocent and I think that is really important because  of all the black people that have been falsely accused based on what they look like. Also, black people were punished and they did not lie, they simply were human and looked different from the people that enslaved them. I believe that everyone should tell the truth, especially to themselves and people around them. It is important to be able to have someone to be able to truly talk to them and tell them how you feel about certain things. I would also like to point out that throughout Trumps presidency has has lied more times than told the truth. A president that lies is not fit to be president. Trump has lied about even the smallest things like his health, his doctor and himself both lied to make him seem a good weight amount when it really isnt true. I think everyone should not lie but in order for the people to not lie we need our fundamentals ot not lie, meaning our parents and people that guide us like teachers and presidents .

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act according."                                                                                - Otto Graham  This quote, in my own words, means acknowledge if something is wrong or right and make the best choice. Many times, i have thought about a quote similar to this and i actually make my decisions with a conscious mind and i think about what is right and what is wrong and make sure that drives me to my decision. I like this quote because it is something people don't always do. I feel like some peolpe make decisions and dont really think about the effects the choice will have on them or whoever in the long run. I feel like if people thought about the choices  they make and focus on how it could negatively impact them or someone else,...

The Effects of Marijuana

Effects of Marijuana 1. Marijuana can affect you in several ways. These ways can be both positive and negative.  Some of the negative affects include: - Rapid heart beat - Increase risk of heart attack  - Increase risk of bleeding - Lowers blood pressure These are only some of the ways that smoking, inhaling, or eating marijuana can affect on your body.   In the past month, 6.5 percent of eighth graders, 16.6 percent of 10th graders and 21.2 percent of 12th graders admitted to marijuana use.  Some of the ways we could help create a non-marijuana using community is by offering help. When using a drug it isn't an easy decision to suddenly decide not to keep doing that drug. They need to slowly get away from it, and even then that isn't easy for some users.  I commit and promise to never use marijuana, ever, regardless of what society says.
