“When you tell one lie, it leads to another.”

-Paul Hatch

This statement means that if you start telling lies you won’t be able to stop. Once you start you can’t stop, so it is better to always try to stick with the truth. Yes, sometimes the truth hurts and it sucks, but it is better to be honest with someone than to have them figure out you lied to them. No matter how much the truth hurts or how hard it might be always, always tell the truth. For example, if you disobey your parents and you tell them a lie to cover it up you will continue to lie to them and then you will just lie to them for the rest of your life. Once you do it, it will become easier and you will just lie without thinking. The lie will roll out of your mouth without you fully think about it because your brain is used to lying and it will try to make you lie when the truth can’t be told. Don’t let lies control you, you are better than that, you can’t let your life be surrounded by lies. If you lie and people find out they won’t believe you when you say the truth because they will think that you are just lying again. When you tell the truth no matter how truth it might be no one will believe you because you are already label as a liar. You can prevent all of this from happening if you just stick to the truth since the beginning. Your life is easier if you tell the truth, so tell the truth.
