Honesty is important in life because when you’re not honest life can be tough. This is mostly because when you lie you have to stick with that lie and remember the lie for almost the rest of your life. Depending on if you move or not, but when you lie it follows you for a long time. Honesty is the way to go, because then you remember the truth and you say nothing but the truth, which is easier to remember then the lie you created. An example of this is when I was young, I broke a picture frame and I came up with a lie so I wouldn’t get in trouble. I was questioned more then 100 times, and each time I was asked I had something new involved in the story. Then I would reply with a, well I forgot to tell you about that. Then later on I finally got caught and got a worse punishment for lying. So ever since then when I did something wrong I tell my parents before they question me and I lie. Another example of being honest can be good would be when the police ask you about a person you answer honestly and you may get off the hook to go to court and have to testify. One example that is probably the number 1 reason to be honest would be, when you’re honest with your parents they can trust you. Then you get more chances to go hang out with your friends. They know you wont do anything bad because they trust you. This is what you benefit most from honesty.

Friendship is important too because with out friends you can’t really gain any happiness. I’m not saying with out friends you’re unhappy, its just easier to be happy with friends. It doesn’t matter if they’re “popular” or a “loser” they’re your friends and most of them will be there for you all the time. Like an example I am thinking of was with my friend Joe. He had girl problems and his friends were there to get him over it and bring reality to his head that he is only 15. Friends are also there for you no matter what. If you have a relative die they’ll be there for you to get your mind off of it and help you relax for a little while. You can also benefit from friends from getting good people skills. You learn how to talk and that’s why friends help you with life. Now some people have friends for just benefits like if they’re rich. That’s not a true friend though, it may be a plus but if it’s the reason you’re friends with them then you’re kind of a jerk. So friendship is important because you can get so much from it.
