1)Make a commitment to tell the truth.

2)Tell someone about your commitment.

Reflection:

These 2 tips are a great combination. If you are committed to tell the truth, you should tell someone because they will trust you more and they will see that you're a trustworthy person. If you follow these 2 tips you will have better friends that would always be there for you when you need them. 

These 2 tips will help me become a better person even though i tell the truth, if i tell someone about it it will make you feel better inside and you will be a trustworthy person.

3) Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason.

Reflection:

This tip is great because this will help you become a better friend or classmate. Don't just blurt out anything to anyone or give someone false information because that's choosing the wrong and a lot of people will dislike you because of that same reason.

This tip will help me become a better person because if I think about what I say, i will be a better person and not blurt out what comes to mind. 

4)Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony.

Reflection:

This tip is great because this will help you because if you think you're being sarcastic, so people think you're being serious and they would get offended and might say something back or might want to fight you.  

5) Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out a part of it.

Reflection:

This is a great tip because this shows you how to become a better person, if you don't twist your words or say any lies you will be an honest person and that's the people that are most admired. 

6) Don't indulge in little white lies.

Reflection:

This is a great tip because if you tell the truth and you don't help with the lie your friend or family member does then you would be a better and an honest person, you will be rewarded by that.

7) Watch out for silent lies.

Reflection: 
Don't try to confront someone about their lies because you know they are not true so don't pay too much attention to that, just be you and don't let anyone get to you. Sooner or later the people who doubted you are going to realize your not the person people have been talking bad about.  

8) When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.

Reflection:
You shouldn't lie and if you catch yourself lying apologize and say the truth because lying to your friends and love one will affect you and it would hurt more then saying the truth. when you tell the truth you become an honest person and start feeling good about yourself.

9) Talk to yourself

Reflection:
You often don't need anyone just yourself to bring you up. Try talking to yourself for a while in a quiet place and what you can work on to become a better person and you will know why and improve yourself.

10) Treat yourself when you tell the truth.

Reflection:
When you treat yourself well and you show people that you treat yourself correct, most of them would want to be your friends and the ones who don't, they aren't your real friends for accepting you so don't associate with them because they don't want the best in you. 

Reflection:
These ten tips are great because this shows you that you shouldn't lie or try to be someone or something your not but if you're honest and you care about yourself, a lot of people will realize that and would like to be your friend. You will benefit by these 10 because this shows you how to be true to yourself. I am applying all the tips because I want to be true to myself and I wanna show the people that don't really like me that I'm not the person they think I am and prove them wrong.
