Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to be truthful but you weren’t sure that it was the proper course of action? Whether this should be justified or not, let’s just say different people will view every situation differently. 

Some people may believe lying to spare someone’s feelings could be okay. Others may disagree due to the fact that being 100 percent truthful is always the right thing to do. 

Even if you feel the need to lie, some people think there is never a good reason to not tell the truth.

In an interview, Senior Ana Hargrove, briefly said, “I think honesty can be good and bad because something could go wrong when you tell the truth, but also could go good. It’s never healthy to lie unless it’s for a good reason.” 

I believe that being truthful could be beneficial, once again the truth can take a turn for the worse.

Senior Jordyn Norton believes that, “It’s not a lie to not give the WHOLE story, if it protects my happiness just don’t tell me nothing,” 

As you can see some people would rather be lied to about some topics in order to spare their own feelings. I feel like plenty of people may agree with Norton’s statement.

Junior Neviah Coleman said in her interview, “I think honesty can never be too much. I’d rather someone be 100 percent honest with me and it hurts then someone lie to me. I don’t think it’s a good idea to lie to people even if you think it’ll hurt them.”

Everybody had their own perspectives on honesty so, can honesty honestly be bad?
