  2. What Does it Mean To Be Honest? Hold on to the real you. Be genuine about who you are. Own up to mistakes that you make, even if you are afraid you will get into trouble. Remember, lying leads to even more trouble. Never keep silent when it’s important to tell the truth. Earn people’s trust by keeping your promises to them and by never cheating or stealing. Stop and think about what really happened so that you can talk about it truthfully. Also, think about what might happen if you don’t tell the truth. Tell friends, family, and teachers that you have made a promise to always tell the truth.
