CHAPTER 1: BE HONEST

chapter-seperator

Understanding Honesty

Honesty is about being truthful - it applies to both things you say and the way you act. For teenage girls, it means accepting yourself and being honest to others. It means doing all that even when it’s difficult to do. Practicing the virtue of honesty is particularly difficult, especially when you feel pressured to do the opposite with your friends, parents, workmates, or on social media. However, remaining true to yourself. These difficult situations can force you to say things or act in a way that you think makes you fit in.

Yet honesty begins with knowing who you truly are. It also means standing by your values and what you truly believe in, no matter if it gets awkward or uncomfortable.

People will trust you when you’re always honest. When you begin to acknowledge this, you’ll also begin trusting yourself and feeling more confident in your decisions. Therefore, as a teenage girl, being honest with yourself is a powerful tool to help you secure your own identity. It can also help you build stronger relationships.

The Benefits of Honesty

Being honest offers a range of positive effects that touch every area of your life. Honesty helps you build strong, healthy relationships. It lets you create trust, whether with your family or other people in your social circle, including friends, teachers, classmates, romantic partners, or even professional relationships in the future.

When people know you can be trusted, they are more likely to also be honest with you. They will confide in you. They may also support you, and are more likely to stand by you when the going gets tough.

What’s also great about being honest is that it also contributes to your positive self-image. Remember that your self-image and confidence can help you open doors that you didn’t know existed. They’re more likely to help fuel your drive for success in reaching your goals.

When you are truthful, you feel inner peace. You don’t have to constantly live in fear that your web of lies might be discovered. After all, there’s none for them to find because you didn’t lie at all. By being honest, you create a reputation of reliability and integrity. Even as a teenager, this can already impact your future helping you with your own personal growth and future career opportunities.

Amazingly, honesty can also help you develop resilience. It strengthens your ability to handle difficult situations gracefully because you don’t have to hide behind falsehoods.

Honesty vs. Dishonesty

Sometimes, you might think that there’s very little difference between honesty and dishonesty. That’s not true at all. No matter how small or subtle it might be, the impact of making honest choices can be huge.

Yes, telling the truth can sometimes make you feel uncomfortable, especially in situations when doing so can affect other people’s lives. Still, being honest lets you build social relationships with others based on mutual trust and respect.

Take note that when you’re honest, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to keeping track of your lies. You don’t have to keep covering a lie with another, and there’s no need to fear that the truth will come out.

In contrast, dishonesty creates complications and builds mistrust. Once you’re caught, people will start doubting you. You might think that a small lie seems harmless, but while that is true, small lies often lead to larger lies. Eventually, this web of lies can damage your reputation. It can also have a negative impact on your relationships and self-esteem.

Sadly, the more you lie, the more you feel anxious about being caught. You’ll constantly live in fear and guilt. On the other hand, being honest frees you from that burden and heavy feeling. It lets you focus on building real connections with others.

The Consequences of Lying

Does lying really have an impact on your life? Well, actually, yes. Even small lies can have a huge impact or consequences to your reputation and self-esteem. Whenever you lie, you always have that risk of losing other people’s trust. They might question whether you’ve been lying all this time. This may lead to loneliness and being left out.

Always remember that trust is one of the main foundations of any relationship. It’s like eggshells. Once it’s broken, it’s extremely difficult to rebuild. What’s sad is that lying might even cause permanent rifts in your relationships.

When you commit to always being honest, you can avoid this painful situation. Always strive to be truthful even when the truth is hard to express.

There are times when lying might make you feel more comfortable or you think it’s the easy way out of a difficult situation. Still, when that happens, try your best to come clean and apologize. It’s difficult but it can help repair broken relationships. It’s also a sign of maturity.

Building Trust through Honesty

Building trust through honesty can be a huge challenge to you as a teenage girl. Yes, it requires consistency and communication. But you can take this one step at a time. Start by being open or transparent with people who are close to you - whether a close friend, sibling, parent, or teacher.

Don’t pretend that you’re okay even when something is bothering you.

When you start and keep being honest, people will realize that you value your relationships. Even when it’s uncomfortable or difficult, you try to address your challenges instead of avoiding them - and that’s a big show of character.

Did you make a promise? Then, make sure to keep it. Whether it’s small or big, keeping your promises also helps build trust in your relationship - especially when it comes to keeping someone’s secret when they tell you not to share it with anybody.

Of course, it’s often easy to promise something but not do it. However, that can have a negative impact on your relationships. Remember that your actions will always speak just as loudly as (or even louder than) your words. Be sure that they match.

Remember that trust isn’t built overnight. Don’t worry because even when you make mistakes, you’ll develop deeper, more meaningful connections with these important people in your life, with time and honesty.

Overcoming Peer Pressure

Peer pressure is something that can be really challenging, even extremely, during your teenage years. Yet you don’t have to bend with this pressure. Keeping to your values, especially when it comes to being honest and confident, is key to overcoming it.

Identify your core values: what do you truly believe in? Once you know what they are, stick to them. When you’re confident about your values, it will be easier to say no to things. Remember, you don’t have to follow what everyone thinks is the “in” thing.

Learn to say “no” in a respectful yet confident way. Learning to do so will keep you ready, especially when your peers try to pressure you to do something. Of course, while learning to say no, it is also important to surround yourself with good friends who respect your choices. Stay with those who encourage honesty, instead of being in the presence of those who try to bend you toward their bad ways. Finding these people ensures you get support when it feels the hardest to stand your ground.

As such, having a small circle of great friends is so much better than being “friends” with everyone. It’s better to be accepted for who you truly are instead of being dishonest just to gain other people’s approval.

Self-Honesty

Self-honesty is defined simply as being truthful with yourself first. It’s about accepting who you are, and understanding that you have your own sets of beliefs and values. It’s learning to accept your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. It’s about acknowledging who you are, without trying to pretend.

Yes, self-honesty can be challenging, particularly in your teenage years when others so easily judge your actions or try to influence your choices.

Staying true and being honest to yourself begins with knowing who you are. What are your thoughts and goals? Ask yourself questions like, “How do I feel about this situation?” or “What do I really care about?” These might be difficult to answer but once you understand what you really want, you can realize your core values and choose actions that align with your character and goals.

You’re still a teenager, yet you shouldn’t fear setting boundaries that protect your integrity. Sometimes, this might mean stepping away from friends who don’t reflect your true self. Remember, self-honesty empowers you to live with confidence and peace of mind. It will help you create an authentic character and integrity.

Honesty in Communication

Honest communication is crucial for building trust and understanding. This applies to any relationship, whether with your friends, family, or peers. But don’t mistake honesty with being hurtful. You can still...
