Lying

Lying is a very harmful thing. I have had a lot of people lie to me. This has made me very careful with who I tell things and who I trust. I don't appreciate being lied to and I thing only horrible people would do so to their 'friends'. I think that if someone trusts you enough to open up to you and tell you things you should be completely honest about what you say to them. Of course you should say it in a not harsh way but you should tell them the truth. People should never tell someone something just to make them feel better or to make them think something that is not true. I was very close friends with someone once until they started lying to me and telling me that things happened that really didn't.
Honesty can be hard. It takes courage to stand up to what you think and what you know is correct. Our society puts so much of an emphasis on being what and who everyone wants to be that you can never really know if you know someone. It's hard to tell the truth in a society so full of lies, but it's something we all should know how to do.
