TRUST
Having trust with your parents and yourself is one of the most important things to have in your everyday life. It is a tool that allows us to grown and learn with ourselves and our parents. While it is one of the most important things, it is also one of the hardest thing to earn. Kids, especially teenagers, take the whole trust factor for granted. Taking trust for granted shows the child still has a lot of maturing to do. Kids may tell themselves and others that they don’t care if their parents don’t’ trust them, but they do. Every kid wishes they could just tell them what they were doing and where they are going. This is where the lying comes in. Kids are afraid their parents would get made, so they lie to cover it up. While lying may be good in the short run, it always comes back to haunt you in the long run. No matter how good you are at lying, in the end it will all come back at you.
Kids never think about the long run, that is what shows our immaturity. Kids don’t take the time to stop and think about what is best for them in the long run. It is always what is happening now. Every kid goes through this phase and they always learn the hard way. If only kids would understand that telling the truth is the best thing. yes, the truth might be painful and it might make your parents mad, but in the long run you will look back and know that you did the right thing. Maturity is the best thing that happens to a kid but unfortunately it takes time. All parents want to be told the truth. Kids don’t understand how bad it hurts when they lie to their parents. Parents don’t understand why their child would lie to them. Parents start to think they did something wrong, but they didn’t. The child made the decision to lie and eventually they will get caught up in their lies. From personal experience, my advice is to tell the truth. No matter how hard or how painful it is you will be happy in the long run.
I believe the ultimate goal in life is to be happy. If you are happy and grateful no matter what hardships come at you, that show’s the ultimate maturity. Telling the truth no matter what, puts you on the road to happiness. Being honest with yourself is even more difficult than being honest with others. If you can be honest with yourself and trust yourself to do the right thing, everything will be okay. you have to be strong and make the right decisions. If you honest with yourself you can be honest with others. One of the hardest things to do is admit when you are wrong. It takes a lot of strength to be honest with yourself. When you are truly honest with yourself is when you know that you know yourself. Be honest with everyone and everything and you will be happy.
