Honesty has it's role in our society. Unfortunately, I have to say that dishonesty wins the majority. When people lie to me, I feel as though they can't trust me and don't accept you for the friend you are to them. This morning, I overheard a girl telling that she went to a party and got drunk. She told her friends that she got overly involved with a guy she was worried about the possibilities of being pregnant. I could tell she was really upset and went to talk to her after her friends left. Later on, I heard from another person, that WAS there, say that she was never at that party and that this girl was giving a really good pity story. So who is to believe in this situation? Ever since then, I haven't really talked about it because I believe that it's GOD's job to take care of it. If she made that story up, I would be really disappointed to know any girl would play off her friends like that.

When this journal idea came to me, I really thought about how much people lie, even for the smallest things. Tonight, an older band student missed practice. He told me he went to the hospital to see a friend's dad. I was like "OK." Well, another girl from the guard asked him where he was and I saw her whisper in her ear. Then I heard him saying that it was the best "physical relations" he ever had with a girl in a relationship. My mouth dropped. He missed practice because he was off having "FUN" with another girl. I told him that it wasn't my place to judge him,but he needed to be there to help the other marchers. I was disappointed that he tried to use a serious joke about someone's health to cover up the fact he was in the wrong place with a girl. I can't change his life style, but being in band means living up to your responsibilities.

Another time and another day has passed. Last night, my little cousin Ashley spent the night. I love her to death, but she is such a trouble maker. She had to take a bath this morning because she had been outside playing earlier that morning. When Momma went to take a bath, all of the bubble bath and shaving cream was gone. Ashley said she didn't touch it, but we all knew she did. She has been the only one in the shower. Let's just say Ashley didn't have a happy ending to her story. DON"T LIE!!! :)

I don't seem to have anything good in my journal. Today, a girl has cigarettes fall out of bra, in front of Mr. Pruden. I know that sounds really funny though!!! How would you react to that? However, she wasn't supposed to have them and got in trouble. She is considered a liar just because she was secretly hiding those cigarettes. HONESTLY, I wouldn't pull cigarettes out of my shirt to show either. In her case, it was accidental. Anyways, she was in the wrong and was caught. Now, she is spending time in detention.

I know this might sound crazy. Every day for the past week, Quinese and Millia have been acting like they were talking about me. I actually thought they were, but obviously should have thought about the fact that they are my best friends. I finally found out that they were being silly and were just kidding. HEY, we are a bunch of idiots some times;I admit it. But, the whole point that I wrote this story is because I wanted to show that the smallest lies can effect people in big ways. This project has made me more observant of what others say because I never really pay attention to when people lie. If you have good friends and people you trust, always be honest. You are better off getting into trouble telling the truth than making the problem more painful. YOU dig your own hole, but if you dig too deep, how are you going to get back out?
I didn’t see too much dishonesty today. I did though hear a rumor that next we will not have a homecoming and I don’t believe that at all. I don’t understand why people start rumors like that. Or why people try to start rumors about other people. I guess just to have someone to lie about. My little brother Will lied to my parents about a grade he had made on a test today and that did not go over well. I always tell him to just tell them the truth that way he won’t get in near as much trouble. What he lied about was he said he made a good grade and he actually made an 82 on a test. B’s are not allowed in my house. No B’s at all. Dad found out and tore him up. He came to me afterward and told me how he just should have told the truth. He said he probably would not have got in near as much trouble.

Today wasn’t much different. Honesty wise though we went to Wal-Mart and we passed down an aisle and I saw a bunch of little kids standing around a shattered picture frame on the ground. There were about four kids not any older than six or so and the mother of one them was asking what had happened and who did it. One little boy stepped forward and said, “We were playing around and he pushed me and I hit the picture frame and broke it.” Now if that would have been me it would have been hard for me to step forward and do that. The mother told him thank you for being honest and they told one of the employees there what had happened and they came and cleaned it up and she paid for the damage. I thought about it for a little while, that kid is probably not going to get in near as much trouble as he would have if he would not have told the truth. His parents now will trust him to tell the truth.

The only thing I saw out of line (honesty-wise) is today on the bus we had a new kid ride. Or not a new kid but someone who doesn’t usually ride our bus. It was the first time I had ever seen him and we were talking and messing around and I saw him change seats. The bus driver yelled at him to not change seats again. He looked over the seat behind him and said to a boy, “I thought you said I wouldn’t get in trouble!” The boy started laughing so hard. “I lied!!!” he said laughing hysterically. I felt bad for the kid. If I would have heard him day that I would have told him he was going to get in trouble. It’s little things like that that make a big impression on me.

In the media today I saw where Cincinnati Bengal’s’ wide receiver Chad Johnson finally admitted to lying about an interception on Monday against the Patriots. Johnson kept telling everyone it was all quarterback Carson Palmers fault. They could have won if he would have caught the pass. They exchanged words and finally three days later he fessed up. Johnson said yes it was his fault because he ran the wrong route and he did not play the defender correctly. The reason people believed Johnson is because Palmer threw the ball right in the cornerback’s hands, where Johnson should have been to make the catch. Now people and the team have to gain their trust back with Palmer all because one lie. Because someone didn’t want to admit their mistake and blamed it on someone else.
I woke up at 7 to my mom telling me to get ready for school. I told her I was up and slept in for an extra 10 minutes. In first block I cheated off someone elses paper because obviously he is smarter than me and got the answers faster. I also told coach Payne that on the mile run I'd win. I got 3rd TUESDAY, A lunchroom lady told me to bring lunchmoney the next day because I was low on cash. I forgot. WEDNESDAY I told my spanish teacher that I would do a flashcard, but I forgot to. I was watching a show called The Colbert Report, and it reminds me of how many lies and fibbs people put into talk shows like that. They're all full of Bull. Thursday I cheated off some of someone elses paper for a workbook today. The sub didn't notice and there was a lot of work to do so I said what the heak and copied the answers. My sister lied to me today. She usaully takes me home from school but today she told me she had to stay after school for some art thing for 30 minutes. It took her 45 minutes. FRIDAY To be determined.
Honesty determines how people look at you. You could either be a person who tells the truth or you could be a person who lies to everyone. People who lie to others usually are the ones who are not liked as much. Not to long ago I went to one of my friend's house. It was just a little get together. Ended up his parents were not home. Later that night when I got home, my mom asked me how the party went. I told her everything. She asked if his parents were home. I thought to myself, "what should I do?" Well i ended up telling her the truth. She got mad but not as near as she would have been if I would have lied. My mom always finds out if Im lying so I decided to tell the truth. And trust me, it helps a lot. So now when I ask her to do something, she trusts me and lets me go.
10/2/07 Have you ever watched the news and paid attention to the dishonesty in it? Most of the news is about how people have either lied to someone major or they are cheating on someone. Most of the drama and deaths that happen to people are because someone lied about being "my baby's daddy", or something in that nature. If people only told the truth, this world would be so much more peaceful. Some people think that they can get through by telling lies. Trust me, the police and judges can tell when someone is lying. Most people can. There is no such thing as a good liar. No one is a good liar. You can usually tell by their facial expressions.
10/3/07 So I have this friend. No real names are going to be said. But she did something very very wrong. She helped someone cheat on their girlfriend. That is not the right thing to do. She would have been devastated if she found out her boyfriend was cheating on her. So why should she help someone else do the same thing? I have never understood why people want to do that, and i still do not understand. She told the guy to never tell anyone about what happened. Hopefully the girl will find out so she can break up with him before she gets hurt by him. Cheating is just another way of lying.
10/4/07 Ok, so heres a question for you. If you randomly found money laying on the ground, what would you do with it? Would you turn it in, or would you just slip it into your pocket? Honestly, I know this is terrible, but I would keep it. See it isnt that hard to tell the truth. There are very few people who would turn it in. They could easily take it somewhere so the person missing it could come back and recieve it. And then there others, like me =], who would simply slip it into theirpocket and be on their way. The next time you are faced with that problem, just stop and think to yourself, if I lost something, I would want someone to return it. So maybe next time you can do he right thing.
10/5/07 Telvesion shows are the biggest drama filled thing ever invented. You cannot find a tv show that is not about cheating or lying. It seems like all shows are people cheating on one another. I just wish they could simply have some tv shows were it was not all about lying. All shows could be just as good without all that vain. The tc shows now are exactlly like the news. ALl you ever get to here about is the lying and cheating going on. Why can people just learn to stop all this?
10/01/07 Today I was'nt feeling very well so I did'nt pay much attention to what people were saying.So when I got home I looked up lies in the news and found that one of the main reasons the troops are still in Iraq is because they are looking for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) but Soldiers reported proof that there were no WMD's in Iraq in 2003 but it was ignored by the white house and we invaded anyway!
10/02/07 Today this is all I could find, Fox news was foud guilty of breaking UK boradcasting code on a story about the BBC. It accused the BBC of "anti-Americanism" giving its reports a "RIGHT TO LIE." No one should have a right to lie!
10/03/07 Today I heard someone talking bad about my sister, which I dont care if they do, but they were saying random things that never happend! You could prabably say a million bad things about my sister so why make it worse than it already is?
10/04/07 Today I saw something on a website about how the war is almost over and then on the same website I saw an article that said "Iraq War Just Beginning" It was Kinda funny at first but but then I realized how stupid some people realy are!
10/05/07 This whole week my 3 friends said that they were definatly coming to band practice this weekend but today I figured out only one was telling the truth. This project has tought me not to 100% trust everything people say!
10/1/07 I told my mom that i was not on the computer and i was on it. 10/2/07 Me and my brother said that we did our chores were done and we didt really do them. 10/3/07 My brother told my mom that his room was clean an it was't. 10/4/07 Kayla asked me if i had any gum and i told her that i did and really didt have any gum.
Well, remembering back to when I first woke up…I realized I told the truth. I said, “I don’t want to get up this morning.” And it was the truth…so yay.
Also, for the rest of the day after BTE, when I went home I noticed lies from my friends when I paid attention and on the news. The news is mostly opinionated, and full of lies.
Tuesday, October 2:
I was not able to be at school, but I remember lying and saying I don’t need any medicine when I was sick…but I did feel the need for it. I also lied halfway through the normal school day, when my mom asked me if I was feeling any better, I said no, of course, to stay out of school.
Wednesday, October 3:
Today, I had a full day of trying to spot lies in everyday life, and I ended up spotting a few very quickly. Things like, “No, I forgot about it,” or, “I left it at home.” I, sadly, was one of them.
Thursday, October 4:
Well, today I didn’t have something I needed in English class, which we learned about the day I was gone, and I found out Wednesday from a friend, then I lied and said I didn’t know about it since I was gone.
Friday, October 5:
Well, seeing as I posted this on Thursday, and I don’t have the ability of “Future Sight” I guess I can’t post for this one.
This project has shown me that I lie more than I need to, and that TV is one of the most hazardous for lies. Lies are everywhere and sometimes, I believe, that lying is a necessity to get through life and hard times.
Today, unfortunately I was dishonest to one of my fellow friends. She asked me if I said that about her and I told a lie and said that I didn't when I really did.
10-2-07
Tuesday I was honest to my dad. I asked him if I could ride with someone to the football game and he asked me who it was. I told him the truth like I was suppose to and told him that Kayla was going to take us. He said no and I took it as I was suppose to.
10-3-07
On Wednesday I would have to say that I was truthful. I did my work in class like I was suppose to and didn't copy anyones.
10-4-07
Today I was dishonest at school. I was wasting my time in there and decided not to start my work until class was almost over; so I copied someones workbook we had to do so that I could get some of it done and not get a zero.
Always be trustworthy to everyone in your life. It will always come back and chase you down in the long run. If you tell the truth life will be a whole lot easier on you.
My mom always tells me that truth. She says, "Millia, you know I always try to tell you the truth." If Mama can not tell me the truth, she will not tell me a lie instead. My mom loves me, and I trust her. That is why we have a close bond. It should be like every mother/daughter relationship. It should be full of honesty.
October 2, 2007:
In the band, people lie all the time. Everyone tries to get me to say bad words, but I refuse. This boy in the band tried to tell everyone that I said a bad word. I did not say anything close to what he said I said. Anyone who asked about it, I told the truth, and they believed me because I tell the truth most of the time.
October 3, 2007:
The movie Mean Girls is a movie based on dishonesty. The 'Plastics' tell everyone's secrets around school. They spread rumors about girls. In the end, they sort out everything out about all the events that happened during the movie. Many people saw that movie and enjoyed it, including me. People mock what they see in movies and that is not the right thing to mock.
October 4, 2007:
My sister was watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. I was watching it with her. The show had a story of where Alvin, Simon, and Theodore sneak into see a movie Dave told them not to see. They lied to Dave saying that they saw the good movie instead of the bad movie. That is a little kid movie telling children about sneaking around and lying.
October 5, 2007:
Quinese and I eat lunch with our friend Dakota. Quinese says, "Do you know what I heard about Dakota?" I laugh and ask, "What?" Quinese then just whispers jibberish in my ear, and we look at Dakota and go "Ooooooh." Dakota always gets mad at us, but we are just joking. Quinese and I should not do that to Dakota and that is dishonest to Dakota.
Conclusion:
I think many people are just joking when the tell a story. It is wrong, but our today society has a wrong idea of joking. Honesty is a trait that God is proud of and we should be it.
Monday 10/1/07-Monday I was talking to my mom, and she asked me if I liked the way her hair looked and I said yes, even though I should of told her the truth. Tuesday 10/2/07-Tuesday at lunch my girl friend and I were telling my cousin that sits with us that was nothing in her hair and then we started walking down the hall and people started laughing at her and then I told her she had something in her hair an I go it out and she slapped me. Wednesday 10/3/07-My momma told me that I could go to bed when i got home from school and when I got home she had a whole list of things to do, so that means she lied, and she asked me if I had done all of that and I said yes.OOOOooops I told another one. Thursday 10/4/07-Today on the bus there was this kid named Samuel, and he and David, got into a fight and Samuel was cussing so bad. I heard him and so did a lot of other people and when the bus driver asked him, he said he had not said one bad word.So he is probably going to be in trouble when he gets to school tomorrow. Friday 10/5/07-This week a marathon of I Love Lucy on TV,i you have ever watched this sitcom you would know that Lucy always lies to Rikki in some way, and always gets caught.So I think she is a prime example of how you will always gets caught in things you lie about.
Monday- Today I saw a man walking out of the store with a hat that he had not purchased. I told the man that works in the store.
Tuesday- Today a girl who I thought was my friend told me that the reason she couldn't call me and has been too busy for me is that she has been grounded for a month. I asked why. She said because she got caught smoking. I asked her why she would even want to do that and she couldn't tell me. Later today, I talked to another friend of hers and she told me that this girl had never smoked a day in her life. She knows her better than I do.
Wednesday- A guy that works for my dad told him that he couldn't work today because he was sick. Finally, after the day was almost over he called my dad and told him the truth. He just stayed at home with his girlfriend.
Thursday- Today I was watching tv. I was watching Reba. She has 3 kids and their names are: Jake, Cheyenne, and Kira. In this episode, Kira has a boyfriend who came over while Reba was not at home. Reba told her that he could as long as they stayed downstairs. Well, Jake got mad at Kira and told Reba that Kira and her boyfriend went upstairs even though they did not. At the end he finally told her the truth.
What I have learned from this journal is to believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
Why can't people just tell others what they think to their faces. I think you should be honest with people about your opinions. This eliminates the whole web of lies you have to keep up with and confusion on your part about what you thought and what you said. I can honestly say that I have not always done this, but I am making it my goal to do this.
Tuesday
People who do not understand their roles in a group frustrate me. If you know you are not a captain or defined leader of a group do not tell of someone who is over you. You will get your chance, but do not undermine their authority when they are supposed to be in charge. They have waited for their time and you can wait one year for yours.
Wednesday
Many people in today's society cannot take responsiblilty for their actions. This is a reoccuring theme in many of the show that are on television. It may make for good t.v. but it does not always set a good tone for how people should behave. I do enjoy watching t.v. that catches these people who try to run from the consequenses of their actions.
Thursday
People will say and do about anything to get to the top. We see this on the news and on television. People can be bribed into helping "special" people. All of the Hoover grade scandal information has been on my mind. I can understand a teacher letting a student retake a test or scaling grades, but completely changing a grade so that the student can play football shows how immoral our society has become.
Friday
Tomorrow will probably be something to do with what frustrates me about people or society. Society makes people who stand up for what they believe in to be strange when really they are the real ones. Fake people will say things that appease their "friends". Will these friends stand the test of time and unexpected circumstance. All of this is just speculation, but knowing society and people some of this will probably be true.
Honesty is telling the truth and being sincere, thruthful, trustworthy, honorable, fair, genuine, and loyal with integrity. You also have to be honest with yourself such as accept responsibilty for your own actions, don't blame others, be honest about your feelings, and face issues as they arise.
Monday One of the girls on the cheer squad was going around telling everyone that I have to stop by my boyfriends house every morning before I go to school so he can see what I am wearing to school and how my hair and make up is and if I am dressed up I have to change in to a t-shirt and if my hair is straight and I have make up on he makes me put my hair in a pony tail and makes me take off all my make up?? She is just telling everyone that because his exgirlfriend is her best friend and there just trying to make a huge conflict or something. Well it's not true if anyone else has heard that. I'm just really lazy and don't want to get up early in the mornings to get ready.
Tuesday In Mrs. Glazes office there is a huge box of candy and well of course me and the other cheerleaders go back there and start eating the candy and Mrs. Glazes yells and says for us not to get the candy so we like OK! and then about two seconds later she comes back to her office and we all have candy stuff in our mouths.
Wednesday My friend Christy ask me if I could pick her up in the morning and her ride with me to school and I told her I couldn't because I had to go to Chase's house. But the real reason was I really didn't want to wake up that early and go pick her up. I felt bad after I told her I couldn't pick her up because I really could.
Thursday In class this guy not naming names asked everyone in the class if anyone had their jump drive with them and if he could borrow someones so he could do his 400 point project, well everyone lied and said they didn't have their's with them because they thought they would never get it back so I told him I had mine and I let him borrow it.
Friday From this project I've pretty much learned that not being honest can hurt a lot people's feelings and not only that it hurts me to know I hurt someone else.
Today at lunch we were talking about if you found $10,000 dollar bill laying on the ground what would you do? I said that I would keep it because I would think of it as a blessing from God. Unless someone reported they were missing the money I would turn it in. On the other hand if it wasnt missing I would keep it and thank the Lord. I was being completely honest about the situation. My friend were also being honest about the situation because they said they would turn it in.
October 2
Today my friend Millia and I were joking with our friend Dakota. Joking is a form of a lie because it's not the truth. So that is dishonesty. We were pretendig that we were talking about her, but we really wasn't. We were saying out loud you know what I heard about Dakota. Then start to whisper in each others ear, but we didn't say anything. She kind of got mad, but she joking to. So she also was being dishonest.
October 3
Today after church my little cousin was being dishonest. She got into my grandmothers perfume. You could smell it before she walked past you. It was that strong. So my mama asked her what she got on, and she said nothing. That was a lie. My mama said you been in some perfume haven't you and she still said no. She finally fessed up though after we found the bottle of perfume. I thought it was funny not that she was dishonest but the situation.
October 4
Today my friend Amber Davis was joking with me, but I thought she was serious. She was telling me that we had sectionals after school today, but we really wasn`t. So all day I was thinking we had sectionals, and I was worried because I didn't tell my mom. So when I got to the bandroom I asked Briana, my section leader, and she said we didn't. When I went over to Amber she was laughin and I kind of got mad because she was lying. So she was being dishonest about the whole situation which I thought wasn't funny.
I think it is good to be honest because if you are people will trust you. If you don't have people's trust then they want ever tell you anything. Plus God says to tell the truth and that a lier shall be in his sight.
10 – 1 --A**** told Mrs. G**** she left her homework at home and would bring it tomorrow. She didn’t do her homework at all. --K**** told her mom that she needed to use my laptop for a report, when she was really using it to get on MySpace. --Me and S******** were at my desk talking and when the teacher told her to sit down, she said she dropped her pen.
10 – 2 --R***** told A**** that J**** is the one who came up with all that crap about me, not him. But I know it was him…. --R***** told A**** that his middle name was Shaheen, but we all know it’s Alan :] --R***** quit his job and got a new one a month ago and didn’t even bother to tell me.
10-3 --J**** is telling S****** that I want to break up with him so he can go out with me. --K***** is hanging all over other guys trying to make her ex jealous. Pretty pathetic. --A****** told me so much stuff about R***** that I believed. However, none of it was true. --B***** promised that she would keep my secret and she went off and told A*****.
10-4 --R***** is still spreading that stuff about K*****, and she’s about to get really mad. --J**** told me the truth about R*****. He lied to me about so much stuff… --A**** and A**** are staying with their boyfriends even though their mom and step-dad are making them break up with them. --K**** says she deserves to get a ride with S****** every morning just because he’s her “cousin,” which he’s not.
Pay particular attention to the media. See what role honesty plays in stories covered in the news. Celebrities are constantly getting bashed because of baby’s daddies and who’s dealing pot and stuff like that. It pays people a lot of money to post hard-hitting stories, true or untrue, in magazines, on the internet, on TV, etc.
Note how often dishonesty is at the core of TV sitcoms and dramas. It is often the most vital part in making these TV shows interesting. It’s all about who slept with whose boyfriend, who completely sabotaged the other’s best friend, or who committed some sort of horrendous crime. It’s drama, even if it’s comedy.
What did you learn about your own behavior from doing this project? I learned that people can’t be trusted with anything. People can have so much of the devil in them that they deliberately befriend you specifically to stab you right in the back. It’s horrible. I also learned that I don’t think highly of these people, either.
My sister lied to my mom and told her she had her dance clothes when she really didnt. I lied to my mom and told her my dance class started at 6:15 so I wouldnt have to go. When we got home and my mom looked at the calander my class didnt start until 6:45 so I ended up having to go.
Tuesday 10-2-07
I lied to my mom and told her she promised me she would take me to taco bell after my game,(when she dont like taco bell) when she really told me she would just take me somewhere to eat.
Wednesday 10-3-07
My mom asked me if I was on the phone later than i was supposed to be and I told her that I was.
Thursday 10-4-07
This morning my mom lied to my sister and I and told us it was 7 so we would get up and get ready for school when it was really only 6:45.
Monday Well Friday some stuff got started about something that 2 people thought I said but I didn't. It was 2 of my really good friends. I was sad because I didn't want to loose my friends over something stupid that was a rumor. But today everything was ok and an all around good day.
Tues. Nothing really happened today. It was a pretty calm day.
Wend. I heard a lie about someone today that was my friend. I didn't believe it but other people did. They were lieing saying that she used her boyfriend.
Thur. HaHa! Today I lied about who Alabama was playing Saturday. As a joke and they actually believed me. But then after a while I told them the truth. It was a joke.
Mon. Oct. 1st I didn’t really realize how honesty and dishonesty affected mine and everyone else’s life. Today one of my close friends got grounded because he lied to his parents. It wasn’t a big lie but small ones usually lead up to big ones.
Tues. Oct. 2nd Today I didn’t see much of a change between the honesty and dishonesty. You can still tell when someone’s lying to you.
Wed. Oct. 3rd Today had a big impact in what I see as honest and dishonest. One of my friends told his girlfriend he had been talking to another girl and she cried and ran off.
Thurs. Oct. 4th Up until now I believed that honesty was better than dishonesty but now I’m not so sure. I believe that in some cases dishonesty is better like if you didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.
Fri. Oct 5th By this time I have realized that it all depends upon the circumstances whether or not to be honest or dishonest. I truly believe that you shouldn’t lie about important stuff but if someone ask you how they look and they don’t look bad and they look good either you tell them they look good.
Monday October 1,-My mom asked me if I had any homework. I told her yes, although I could Have said no. A good examole of having to choose to be honest or not is in the sitcom Ugly Betty. When Betty has to choose to be honest or dishonest on some information she has.
Tuesday October 2,- This afternoon I talked to my mom on the phone, she asked me if my chores were done. I said yes, and for a change I had actually done my chores.
Wednesday October 3,- I'm sitting at home around the house doing nothing, when ny dad got home, he asked me what I had got done. I told him a lot of things, like fold the cloths etc. He soon found out that I had made my little sister do all my chores.
Thursday October 4,- I'm watching the news,(sorta) and I happen to see a report on a girl who got kidnapped and sexually abused, they had met on the internet in a chat room, the man had told the girl he was in hes mid-twenties, the girl had to find out that he was not in his twenties the hard way. This shows how people are dishonest to other people.
Friday October 5,- seeing I haven't yet made it through my day and I not lied or been honest with anybody today,I guess that brings me to an end.
My conclusion on what I have learned is that everybody will tell a lie in this life, we just have to push hard to not tell lies and try to be honest with people.
10-1-07 I would love to believe that everyone always told the truth, but unfortunately they don't. I'll be honest, I lie every now and then, but not about everything. My dad even lies about stuff. Usually about things he is going to do or something.
10-2-07 Everyone usually lies about something in their life. I always say I'm going to bed, when I actually go and watch T.V. My dad asked me if my room was clean, so I said yes when it actually wasn't.
10-3-07 My mom was saying she was going to buy groceries, but she didn't. My dad asked if I cleaned my room and hung up my clothes, but I threw them under my bed.
10-4-07 My mom was going to take me to get my permit but she never did.
10-5-07 This morning my dad told me to get up I was late for school when it was only 6:20 A.M.
Honstey is very imporant is our society today. Some people tell a bunch of lies know does. And it is very ridiclious.
10/1/07 Monday a noticed that alot of people told lies. I dont know what was really going on, but there were alot of lies told that day. So they calles for students who was not here on picture day. They were but they told the teacher that they was not. So she let them go. They did not stay gone for to long. But the fact that they did it was very wrong.
10/2/07 Tuesday i didnt really pay attetion on people telling lies. So it was a very good day. But if any body did i did not notice.
10/3/07 Wensday Ugh there were a few here and there. But they were praticually jokes. I guess you could call it. It's really hard on catching jokes but u just have to be smart.
10/4/07 Thursday Was a really good day! Nobody had told a lie. That i was aware of to my extint. I myself had not told any lies that day.
10/5/07 Friday I have not told any lies this past week. I was very proud of my self. And the only lies i cought. Were the ones on Monday.
Today I have not told any lies. I am very proud, although I do have the resy of the day to last. I gave witnessed many lie today. On the news, friends, and even a teacher. I think it is very irresponsible to lie. Hopefully, I will not lie for the rest of the day.
10/2/07
Today I was very honest. When I got in trouble I did not lie. Although I did tell very many secrets, no lies. I think this journal is helping because I don't lie so that I don't have to write it down.
10/3/07
I have not lied today either. This journal is really helping. It helps ecause I know I have to present on Friday and I do not want to present lie. I now think twice before I say something.
10/4/07
Today I did lie! I am ashamed of it. I think it actually did good because it got my sister out of my bed. I think that not all lies are bad.
10/5/07
Honesty plays a big role in life. I believe a lot of people lie to benefits theirselves. I lied one time this week. I told me sister to get out of bed repeatly and she did not listen. So in conclusion I told her it was 6:50 and she had 15 minutes to get ready. This got her attention and she jumped out of bed. She was given plenty of time to get ready for school and she was in a much better mood than some other mornings. I do not think it was a good thing that I lied but it did some good. I believe that dishonesty sometimes in certian conditions does good. Many very good political candidates lied many times to get what they wanted but it worked. These people were very successful because the world we live in today many people don't take the truth very well.
Monday: I think that honesty is very important. Every day i come home and Judge Alex is on. For some reason I cant stop watching it. its so funny to me at how people will say one thing untill they are presented with evedence saying otherwise. Then the whole story canges.
Tuesday: I did lie this week. I told someone that something to make them feel better. I was affraid that it would upset them if they found out the truth.
Wednesday: Our band director lies everyday. he doesnt mean to. he tells us to do a set one more time. then when we do he says do it agaian.
Thursday: nothing new today. i am still trying to work on my white lies. it makes a big difference when you look at it.
Friday: i lied to day to make someone feel better. but i dont know if it was right or not.
Monday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Honesty: I found a dollar and gave it to my friend who had lost it.
Dishonesty: Mr. Fitchpatrick told us we would only do one runthrough of our show, but then we did too. I told my mom I was going to clean my room, and then I watch TV instead.
Tuesday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Honesty: Nothing
Dishonesty: Put off cleaning my room again.
Wednesday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Honesty: I put a penny in the "Need a Penny, Take a Penny" thing at Heads/Quick It #8
Dishonesty: I took out 2 pennies before that.
Thursday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Honesty: Nothing
Dishonesty: I delayed cleaning my room again. I told my mom I finished my homework and I hadn't.
I lied to my mom about puting my clothes up but I put them up the next day.
Tuesday
My dad lied to me I asked him if I could have some money for gas he said that he didnt have any but had plenty he just didnt give me any he had to go and buy his drugs instead.
Wednesday
I asked my mom if she would take me to church she said yea and then didnt take me.
Thursday
I told my mom I would clean my room but I went and worked on my truck instead.
Friday
Ive learned thats its hard to trust anyone any more.
Monday: tv show. somebody had confessed to committing a robery crime.
Tuesday: Nothing happened
Wedensday: I read a magazine and it was saying that one of the pop stars was in rehab for alchool abuse and that they say her in a grocery store buying alchool. The star denys it and says its absolutly not true.
Thursady: Was another clam day.
Friday: I heard someone say that they were shopping and found a credit card and said that they were going to keep it and buy some really exspensive stuff on it. This persons friends said that they should take it back to the store they found it at and give it to a sales clerk incase the owner comes back to claim it.
This chick lied to my boyfriend how old she was just to make her seem older than what she really was. She said that she was 15, but she's actually 13. some people cheated off other people on a blog. somebody lied about their past just to get people to feel sympathy towards her.
I don't lie about my work. And I don't lie when I tell my boyfriend that I love him.
I heard one of my friends telling his girlfriend he was gay so he could break up with her and not feel bad. A very good friend of mine found out her boyfriend was cheating on her. When I got home my stepdad told me to clean my room and I told him it was clean already.
10/3/07
My friend is grounded from the phone, but he got on and when his mom asked him if he had been on he said no. This girl got mad at her brother so she slapped him and when he told their mom she denied it. One of my friend's mom decided that she didn't like her boyfriend so she told her daughter to break up with him, and her daughter told her she did but she didn't.
10/4/07
My friend told me she wasn't staying after school for practice but she did anyways. This guy that I know had a friend over when he wasn't supposed to. This girl told her guyfriend she had never been to Pleasant Grove Park when in fact she had.
My sister lied about bringing her assignment book home. My sister lied to my mom about some homework she had. I told the truth aout doing my homework. My friend told the truth about us not having homework Thursday.
Honesty is something alot of peopl do not like to be, it could be because they dont wont to hurt that persons feelings or it could be they just dont wont to get in trouble. There are alot of reasons why people lie today but noone really realizes that it dont do no good because you could loose the people you really love because of lies.
10-1-07 Today my younger sister told my mom a lie. She told my mom that she had cleaned her room but when my mom got home from work my mom found out that my sister had lied to her about her room and she got in trouble. That is another bad thing about lien it dont do anything but get you in trouble.
10-2-07 Today i kind of told a lieto my mom. See wht had happen was my mom called me from work and asked me if i had done the clothes and i told her i have already got them done but i really didnt have them done yet. There is no big lie or small lie a lie is a lie it is rither you do it or you dont and trust me it is better if you dont.
10-3-07 Today i herd my brother tell a lie to his friend. He told him he beat some kid up about a year ago but my brother hasent beat anybody up he was just trian to be cool. There is another reason why people lie is because they figure if they tell somebody something that isnt true to make them self look better then people will like them and think they are cool.
10-4-07 I told another lie today. I told my math teacher i had finished my homework but i really didnt. There is another reason why people lie just so they can get out of trouble.
10-5-07 Today i havent really herd anybody lie so i think that is good but i know thousands of people lie everyday and they have just made a habbit of it and it is something they need to learn not to do because it just starts trouble that is why alot of drama gets started in high school is because somebody lies about something somebody has done said or something like that and then it makes somebody mad and gets eveybody invold fighting.
Dishonesty= One of my dad's employees lied about why he had to leave work. Honesty= My mother asked if I had done all my homework before my piano lesson, and I had.
Tuesday
Dishonesty= My brother told my mom that he did not know his grade in a class, but he really did. Honesty= Told my mom I was sick, and ready for a shot from the doctor.
Wednesday
Dishonesty= Told my grandmother that her purse looked good even thought it really did not. Honesty= Told my mom I did'nt feel like going to church or school because I was so sick.
Thursday
Dishonesty= My grandmother asked me where something was and I told her I did'nt know even though I really did. Honesty= My mom did'nt believe that I took my medicine, but I really did.
Friday
Dishonesty= Watched a program on television where they were lying to women about infertility drugs. Honesty= I was honestly too sick to go to the football game, I took all my medicine, and could not go to the bonfire.
Conclusion= The majority of all people tell small lies. Sometimes lying builds up and gets you into more trouble than what was expected. I am a very honest person, and sometimes that can be bad for peoples feelings.

Honesty has it's role in our society. Unfortunately, I have to say that dishonesty wins the majority. When people lie to me, I feel as though they can't trust me and don't accept you for the friend you are to them.
This morning, I overheard a girl telling that she went to a party and got drunk. She told her friends that she got overly involved with a guy she was worried about the possibilities of being pregnant. I could tell she was really upset and went to talk to her after her friends left. Later on, I heard from another person, that WAS there, say that she was never at that party and that this girl was giving a really good pity story. So who is to believe in this situation? Ever since then, I haven't really talked about it because I believe that it's GOD's job to take care of it. If she made that story up, I would be really disappointed to know any girl would play off her friends like that.

When this journal idea came to me, I really thought about how much people lie, even for the smallest things.
Tonight, an older band student missed practice. He told me he went to the hospital to see a friend's dad. I was like "OK." Well, another girl from the guard asked him where he was and I saw her whisper in her ear. Then I heard him saying that it was the best "physical relations" he ever had with a girl in a relationship. My mouth dropped. He missed practice because he was off having "FUN" with another girl. I told him that it wasn't my place to judge him,but he needed to be there to help the other marchers. I was disappointed that he tried to use a serious joke about someone's health to cover up the fact he was in the wrong place with a girl. I can't change his life style, but being in band means living up to your responsibilities.

Another time and another day has passed. Last night, my little cousin Ashley spent the night. I love her to death, but she is such a trouble maker. She had to take a bath this morning because she had been outside playing earlier that morning. When Momma went to take a bath, all of the bubble bath and shaving cream was gone. Ashley said she didn't touch it, but we all knew she did. She has been the only one in the shower. Let's just say Ashley didn't have a happy ending to her story. DON"T LIE!!! :)
10-4-07
I don't seem to have anything good in my journal. Today, a girl has cigarettes fall out of bra, in front of Mr. Pruden. I know that sounds really funny though!!! How would you react to that? However, she wasn't supposed to have them and got in trouble. She is considered a liar just because she was secretly hiding those cigarettes. HONESTLY, I wouldn't pull cigarettes out of my shirt to show either. In her case, it was accidental. Anyways, she was in the wrong and was caught. Now, she is spending time in detention.

I know this might sound crazy. Every day for the past week, Quinese and Millia have been acting like they were talking about me. I actually thought they were, but obviously should have thought about the fact that they are my best friends. I finally found out that they were being silly and were just kidding. HEY, we are a bunch of idiots some times;I admit it. But, the whole point that I wrote this story is because I wanted to show that the smallest lies can effect people in big ways. This project has made me more observant of what others say because I never really pay attention to when people lie. If you have good friends and people you trust, always be honest. You are better off getting into trouble telling the truth than making the problem more painful. YOU dig your own hole, but if you dig too deep, how are you going to get back out?
Monday

I didn’t see too much dishonesty today. I did though hear a rumor that next we will not have a homecoming and I don’t believe that at all. I don’t understand why people start rumors like that. Or why people try to start rumors about other people. I guess just to have someone to lie about. My little brother Will lied to my parents about a grade he had made on a test today and that did not go over well. I always tell him to just tell them the truth that way he won’t get in near as much trouble. What he lied about was he said he made a good grade and he actually made an 82 on a test. B’s are not allowed in my house. No B’s at all. Dad found out and tore him up. He came to me afterward and told me how he just should have told the truth. He said he probably would not have got in near as much trouble.

Today wasn’t much different. Honesty wise though we went to Wal-Mart and we passed down an aisle and I saw a bunch of little kids standing around a shattered picture frame on the ground. There were about four kids not any older than six or so and the mother of one them was asking what had happened and who did it. One little boy stepped forward and said, “We were playing around and he pushed me and I hit the picture frame and broke it.” Now if that would have been me it would have been hard for me to step forward and do that. The mother told him thank you for being honest and they told one of the employees there what had happened and they came and cleaned it up and she paid for the damage. I thought about it for a little while, that kid is probably not going to get in near as much trouble as he would have if he would not have told the truth. His parents now will trust him to tell the truth.
Wednesday October 3, 2007
The only thing I saw out of line (honesty-wise) is today on the bus we had a new kid ride. Or not a new kid but someone who doesn’t usually ride our bus. It was the first time I had ever seen him and we were talking and messing around and I saw him change seats. The bus driver yelled at him to not change seats again. He looked over the seat behind him and said to a boy, “I thought you said I wouldn’t get in trouble!” The boy started laughing so hard. “I lied!!!” he said laughing hysterically. I felt bad for the kid. If I would have heard him day that I would have told him he was going to get in trouble. It’s little things like that that make a big impression on me.

In the media today I saw where Cincinnati Bengal’s’ wide receiver Chad Johnson finally admitted to lying about an interception on Monday against the Patriots. Johnson kept telling everyone it was all quarterback Carson Palmers fault. They could have won if he would have caught the pass. They exchanged words and finally three days later he fessed up. Johnson said yes it was his fault because he ran the wrong route and he did not play the defender correctly. The reason people believed Johnson is because Palmer threw the ball right in the cornerback’s hands, where Johnson should have been to make the catch. Now people and the team have to gain their trust back with Palmer all because one lie. Because someone didn’t want to admit their mistake and blamed it on someone else.
MONDAY,
I woke up at 7 to my mom telling me to get ready for school. I told her I was up and slept in for an extra 10 minutes. In first block I cheated off someone elses paper because obviously he is smarter than me and got the answers faster. I also told coach Payne that on the mile run I'd win. I got 3rd
TUESDAY, A lunchroom lady told me to bring lunchmoney the next day because I was low on cash. I forgot.
WEDNESDAY
I told my spanish teacher that I would do a flashcard, but I forgot to. I was watching a show called The Colbert Report, and it reminds me of how many lies and fibbs people put into talk shows like that. They're all full of Bull.
Thursday
I cheated off some of someone elses paper for a workbook today. The sub didn't notice and there was a lot of work to do so I said what the heak and copied the answers. My sister lied to me today. She usaully takes me home from school but today she told me she had to stay after school for some art thing for 30 minutes. It took her 45 minutes.
FRIDAY
To be determined.
10/1/07
Honesty determines how people look at you. You could either be a person who tells the truth or you could be a person who lies to everyone. People who lie to others usually are the ones who are not liked as much.
Not to long ago I went to one of my friend's house. It was just a little get together. Ended up his parents were not home. Later that night when I got home, my mom asked me how the party went. I told her everything. She asked if his parents were home. I thought to myself, "what should I do?" Well i ended up telling her the truth. She got mad but not as near as she would have been if I would have lied. My mom always finds out if Im lying so I decided to tell the truth. And trust me, it helps a lot. So now when I ask her to do something, she trusts me and lets me go.
10/2/07
Have you ever watched the news and paid attention to the dishonesty in it? Most of the news is about how people have either lied to someone major or they are cheating on someone. Most of the drama and deaths that happen to people are because someone lied about being "my baby's daddy", or something in that nature. If people only told the truth, this world would be so much more peaceful. Some people think that they can get through by telling lies. Trust me, the police and judges can tell when someone is lying. Most people can. There is no such thing as a good liar. No one is a good liar. You can usually tell by their facial expressions.
10/3/07
So I have this friend. No real names are going to be said. But she did something very very wrong. She helped someone cheat on their girlfriend. That is not the right thing to do. She would have been devastated if she found out her boyfriend was cheating on her. So why should she help someone else do the same thing? I have never understood why people want to do that, and i still do not understand. She told the guy to never tell anyone about what happened. Hopefully the girl will find out so she can break up with him before she gets hurt by him. Cheating is just another way of lying.
10/4/07
Ok, so heres a question for you.
If you randomly found money laying on the ground, what would you do with it? Would you turn it in, or would you just slip it into your pocket? Honestly, I know this is terrible, but I would keep it. See it isnt that hard to tell the truth. There are very few people who would turn it in. They could easily take it somewhere so the person missing it could come back and recieve it. And then there others, like me =], who would simply slip it into theirpocket and be on their way. The next time you are faced with that problem, just stop and think to yourself, if I lost something, I would want someone to return it. So maybe next time you can do he right thing.
10/5/07
Telvesion shows are the biggest drama filled thing ever invented. You cannot find a tv show that is not about cheating or lying. It seems like all shows are people cheating on one another. I just wish they could simply have some tv shows were it was not all about lying. All shows could be just as good without all that vain. The tc shows now are exactlly like the news. ALl you ever get to here about is the lying and cheating going on. Why can people just learn to stop all this?
10/01/07
Today I was'nt feeling very well so I did'nt pay much attention to what people were saying.So when I got home I looked up lies in the news and found that one of the main reasons the troops are still in Iraq is because they are looking for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) but Soldiers reported proof that there were no WMD's in Iraq in 2003 but it was ignored by the white house and we invaded anyway!
10/02/07
Today this is all I could find, Fox news was foud guilty of breaking UK boradcasting code on a story about the BBC. It accused the BBC of "anti-Americanism" giving its reports a "RIGHT TO LIE." No one should have a right to lie!
10/03/07
Today I heard someone talking bad about my sister, which I dont care if they do, but they were saying random things that never happend! You could prabably say a million bad things about my sister so why make it worse than it already is?
10/04/07
Today I saw something on a website about how the war is almost over and then on the same website I saw an article that said "Iraq War Just Beginning" It was Kinda funny at first but but then I realized how stupid some people realy are!
10/05/07
This whole week my 3 friends said that they were definatly coming to band practice this weekend but today I figured out only one was telling the truth. This project has tought me not to 100% trust everything people say!
10/1/07
I told my mom that i was not on the computer and i was on it.
10/2/07
Me and my brother said that we did our chores were done and we didt really do them.
10/3/07
My brother told my mom that his room was clean an it was't.
10/4/07
Kayla asked me if i had any gum and i told her that i did and really didt have any gum.
Monday, October 1:
Well, remembering back to when I first woke up…I realized I told the truth. I said, “I don’t want to get up this morning.” And it was the truth…so yay.
Also, for the rest of the day after BTE, when I went home I noticed lies from my friends when I paid attention and on the news. The news is mostly opinionated, and full of lies.
Tuesday, October 2:
I was not able to be at school, but I remember lying and saying I don’t need any medicine when I was sick…but I did feel the need for it. I also lied halfway through the normal school day, when my mom asked me if I was feeling any better, I said no, of course, to stay out of school.
Wednesday, October 3:
Today, I had a full day of trying to spot lies in everyday life, and I ended up spotting a few very quickly. Things like, “No, I forgot about it,” or, “I left it at home.” I, sadly, was one of them.
Thursday, October 4:
Well, today I didn’t have something I needed in English class, which we learned about the day I was gone, and I found out Wednesday from a friend, then I lied and said I didn’t know about it since I was gone.
Friday, October 5:
Well, seeing as I posted this on Thursday, and I don’t have the ability of “Future Sight” I guess I can’t post for this one.
This project has shown me that I lie more than I need to, and that TV is one of the most hazardous for lies. Lies are everywhere and sometimes, I believe, that lying is a necessity to get through life and hard times.
10-1-07
Today, unfortunately I was dishonest to one of my fellow friends. She asked me if I said that about her and I told a lie and said that I didn't when I really did.
10-2-07
Tuesday I was honest to my dad. I asked him if I could ride with someone to the football game and he asked me who it was. I told him the truth like I was suppose to and told him that Kayla was going to take us. He said no and I took it as I was suppose to.
10-3-07
On Wednesday I would have to say that I was truthful. I did my work in class like I was suppose to and didn't copy anyones.
10-4-07
Today I was dishonest at school. I was wasting my time in there and decided not to start my work until class was almost over; so I copied someones workbook we had to do so that I could get some of it done and not get a zero.
Always be trustworthy to everyone in your life. It will always come back and chase you down in the long run. If you tell the truth life will be a whole lot easier on you.
October 1, 2007:
My mom always tells me that truth. She says, "Millia, you know I always try to tell you the truth." If Mama can not tell me the truth, she will not tell me a lie instead. My mom loves me, and I trust her. That is why we have a close bond. It should be like every mother/daughter relationship. It should be full of honesty.
October 2, 2007:
In the band, people lie all the time. Everyone tries to get me to say bad words, but I refuse. This boy in the band tried to tell everyone that I said a bad word. I did not say anything close to what he said I said. Anyone who asked about it, I told the truth, and they believed me because I tell the truth most of the time.
October 3, 2007:
The movie Mean Girls is a movie based on dishonesty. The 'Plastics' tell everyone's secrets around school. They spread rumors about girls. In the end, they sort out everything out about all the events that happened during the movie. Many people saw that movie and enjoyed it, including me. People mock what they see in movies and that is not the right thing to mock.
October 4, 2007:
My sister was watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. I was watching it with her. The show had a story of where Alvin, Simon, and Theodore sneak into see a movie Dave told them not to see. They lied to Dave saying that they saw the good movie instead of the bad movie. That is a little kid movie telling children about sneaking around and lying.
October 5, 2007:
Quinese and I eat lunch with our friend Dakota. Quinese says, "Do you know what I heard about Dakota?" I laugh and ask, "What?" Quinese then just whispers jibberish in my ear, and we look at Dakota and go "Ooooooh." Dakota always gets mad at us, but we are just joking. Quinese and I should not do that to Dakota and that is dishonest to Dakota.
Conclusion:
I think many people are just joking when the tell a story. It is wrong, but our today society has a wrong idea of joking. Honesty is a trait that God is proud of and we should be it.
Monday 10/1/07-Monday I was talking to my mom, and she asked me if I liked the way her hair looked and I said yes, even though I should of told her the truth.
Tuesday 10/2/07-Tuesday at lunch my girl friend and I were telling my cousin that sits with us that was nothing in her hair and then we started walking down the hall and people started laughing at her and then I told her she had something in her hair an I go it out and she slapped me.
Wednesday 10/3/07-My momma told me that I could go to bed when i got home from school and when I got home she had a whole list of things to do, so that means she lied, and she asked me if I had done all of that and I said yes.OOOOooops I told another one.
Thursday 10/4/07-Today on the bus there was this kid named Samuel, and he and David, got into a fight and Samuel was cussing so bad. I heard him and so did a lot of other people and when the bus driver asked him, he said he had not said one bad word.So he is probably going to be in trouble when he gets to school tomorrow.
Friday 10/5/07-This week a marathon of I Love Lucy on TV,i you have ever watched this sitcom you would know that Lucy always lies to Rikki in some way, and always gets caught.So I think she is a prime example of how you will always gets caught in things you lie about.
Monday- Today I saw a man walking out of the store with a hat that he had not purchased. I told the man that works in the store.
Tuesday- Today a girl who I thought was my friend told me that the reason she couldn't call me and has been too busy for me is that she has been grounded for a month. I asked why. She said because she got caught smoking. I asked her why she would even want to do that and she couldn't tell me. Later today, I talked to another friend of hers and she told me that this girl had never smoked a day in her life. She knows her better than I do.
Wednesday- A guy that works for my dad told him that he couldn't work today because he was sick. Finally, after the day was almost over he called my dad and told him the truth. He just stayed at home with his girlfriend.
Thursday- Today I was watching tv. I was watching Reba. She has 3 kids and their names are: Jake, Cheyenne, and Kira. In this episode, Kira has a boyfriend who came over while Reba was not at home. Reba told her that he could as long as they stayed downstairs. Well, Jake got mad at Kira and told Reba that Kira and her boyfriend went upstairs even though they did not. At the end he finally told her the truth.
What I have learned from this journal is to believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
monday
today, I did all of my work without cheating off anybody elses paper.
Tuesday,
I told my teacher I had completed all of my work, when really, I did not.
Wednesday,
After arriving at my friend's house really late, I was supposed to call my mom, and I told her I would call her. I ended up forgetting to call her.
Thursday,
I lied to my friend when he asked me if I had a penicl. I said I didnt when I had one in my pocket.
Monday
Why can't people just tell others what they think to their faces. I think you should be honest with people about your opinions. This eliminates the whole web of lies you have to keep up with and confusion on your part about what you thought and what you said. I can honestly say that I have not always done this, but I am making it my goal to do this.
Tuesday
People who do not understand their roles in a group frustrate me. If you know you are not a captain or defined leader of a group do not tell of someone who is over you. You will get your chance, but do not undermine their authority when they are supposed to be in charge. They have waited for their time and you can wait one year for yours.
Wednesday
Many people in today's society cannot take responsiblilty for their actions. This is a reoccuring theme in many of the show that are on television. It may make for good t.v. but it does not always set a good tone for how people should behave. I do enjoy watching t.v. that catches these people who try to run from the consequenses of their actions.
Thursday
People will say and do about anything to get to the top. We see this on the news and on television. People can be bribed into helping "special" people. All of the Hoover grade scandal information has been on my mind. I can understand a teacher letting a student retake a test or scaling grades, but completely changing a grade so that the student can play football shows how immoral our society has become.
Friday
Tomorrow will probably be something to do with what frustrates me about people or society. Society makes people who stand up for what they believe in to be strange when really they are the real ones. Fake people will say things that appease their "friends". Will these friends stand the test of time and unexpected circumstance. All of this is just speculation, but knowing society and people some of this will probably be true.
Honesty is telling the truth and being sincere, thruthful, trustworthy, honorable, fair, genuine, and loyal with integrity. You also have to be honest with yourself such as accept responsibilty for your own actions, don't blame others, be honest about your feelings, and face issues as they arise.
Monday
One of the girls on the cheer squad was going around telling everyone that I have to stop by my boyfriends house every morning before I go to school so he can see what I am wearing to school and how my hair and make up is and if I am dressed up I have to change in to a t-shirt and if my hair is straight and I have make up on he makes me put my hair in a pony tail and makes me take off all my make up?? She is just telling everyone that because his exgirlfriend is her best friend and there just trying to make a huge conflict or something. Well it's not true if anyone else has heard that. I'm just really lazy and don't want to get up early in the mornings to get ready.
Tuesday
In Mrs. Glazes office there is a huge box of candy and well of course me and the other cheerleaders go back there and start eating the candy and Mrs. Glazes yells and says for us not to get the candy so we like OK! and then about two seconds later she comes back to her office and we all have candy stuff in our mouths.
Wednesday
My friend Christy ask me if I could pick her up in the morning and her ride with me to school and I told her I couldn't because I had to go to Chase's house. But the real reason was I really didn't want to wake up that early and go pick her up. I felt bad after I told her I couldn't pick her up because I really could.
Thursday
In class this guy not naming names asked everyone in the class if anyone had their jump drive with them and if he could borrow someones so he could do his 400 point project, well everyone lied and said they didn't have their's with them because they thought they would never get it back so I told him I had mine and I let him borrow it.
Friday
From this project I've pretty much learned that not being honest can hurt a lot people's feelings and not only that it hurts me to know I hurt someone else.
October 1
Today at lunch we were talking about if you found $10,000 dollar bill laying on the ground what would you do? I said that I would keep it because I would think of it as a blessing from God. Unless someone reported they were missing the money I would turn it in. On the other hand if it wasnt missing I would keep it and thank the Lord. I was being completely honest about the situation. My friend were also being honest about the situation because they said they would turn it in.
October 2
Today my friend Millia and I were joking with our friend Dakota. Joking is a form of a lie because it's not the truth. So that is dishonesty. We were pretendig that we were talking about her, but we really wasn't. We were saying out loud you know what I heard about Dakota. Then start to whisper in each others ear, but we didn't say anything. She kind of got mad, but she joking to. So she also was being dishonest.
October 3
Today after church my little cousin was being dishonest. She got into my grandmothers perfume. You could smell it before she walked past you. It was that strong. So my mama asked her what she got on, and she said nothing. That was a lie. My mama said you been in some perfume haven't you and she still said no. She finally fessed up though after we found the bottle of perfume. I thought it was funny not that she was dishonest but the situation.
October 4
Today my friend Amber Davis was joking with me, but I thought she was serious. She was telling me that we had sectionals after school today, but we really wasn`t. So all day I was thinking we had sectionals, and I was worried because I didn't tell my mom. So when I got to the bandroom I asked Briana, my section leader, and she said we didn't. When I went over to Amber she was laughin and I kind of got mad because she was lying. So she was being dishonest about the whole situation which I thought wasn't funny.
I think it is good to be honest because if you are people will trust you. If you don't have people's trust then they want ever tell you anything. Plus God says to tell the truth and that a lier shall be in his sight.

Pay particular attention to the media. See what role honesty plays in stories covered in the news.
Celebrities are constantly getting bashed because of baby’s daddies and who’s dealing pot and stuff like that. It pays people a lot of money to post hard-hitting stories, true or untrue, in magazines, on the internet, on TV, etc.
Note how often dishonesty is at the core of TV sitcoms and dramas.
It is often the most vital part in making these TV shows interesting. It’s all about who slept with whose boyfriend, who completely sabotaged the other’s best friend, or who committed some sort of horrendous crime. It’s drama, even if it’s comedy.
What did you learn about your own behavior from doing this project?
I learned that people can’t be trusted with anything. People can have so much of the devil in them that they deliberately befriend you specifically to stab you right in the back. It’s horrible. I also learned that I don’t think highly of these people, either.
Monday 10-1-07
My sister lied to my mom and told her she had her dance clothes when she really didnt. I lied to my mom and told her my dance class started at 6:15 so I wouldnt have to go. When we got home and my mom looked at the calander my class didnt start until 6:45 so I ended up having to go.
Tuesday 10-2-07

Wednesday 10-3-07

Thursday 10-4-07
This morning my mom lied to my sister and I and told us it was 7 so we would get up and get ready for school when it was really only 6:45.
Monday
Well Friday some stuff got started about something that 2 people thought I said but I didn't. It was 2 of my really good friends. I was sad because I didn't want to loose my friends over something stupid that was a rumor. But today everything was ok and an all around good day.
Tues.
Nothing really happened today. It was a pretty calm day.
Wend.
I heard a lie about someone today that was my friend. I didn't believe it but other people did. They were lieing saying that she used her boyfriend.
Thur.
HaHa! Today I lied about who Alabama was playing Saturday. As a joke and they actually believed me. But then after a while I told them the truth. It was a joke.
Fri.
Nothing has happened so far.
Mon. Oct. 1st
I didn’t really realize how honesty and dishonesty affected mine and everyone else’s life. Today one of my close friends got grounded because he lied to his parents. It wasn’t a big lie but small ones usually lead up to big ones.
Tues. Oct. 2nd
Today I didn’t see much of a change between the honesty and dishonesty. You can still tell when someone’s lying to you.
Wed. Oct. 3rd
Today had a big impact in what I see as honest and dishonest. One of my friends told his girlfriend he had been talking to another girl and she cried and ran off.
Thurs. Oct. 4th
Up until now I believed that honesty was better than dishonesty but now I’m not so sure. I believe that in some cases dishonesty is better like if you didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.
Fri. Oct 5th
By this time I have realized that it all depends upon the circumstances whether or not to be honest or dishonest. I truly believe that you shouldn’t lie about important stuff but if someone ask you how they look and they don’t look bad and they look good either you tell them they look good.
10-1-07

10/4/07
My brother lied to me and told me he needed the phone when he really just wanted me to get off.
Monday October 1,-My mom asked me if I had any homework. I told her yes, although I could Have said no. A good examole of having to choose to be honest or not is in the sitcom Ugly Betty. When Betty has to choose to be honest or dishonest on some information she has.
Tuesday October 2,- This afternoon I talked to my mom on the phone, she asked me if my chores were done. I said yes, and for a change I had actually done my chores.
Wednesday October 3,- I'm sitting at home around the house doing nothing, when ny dad got home, he asked me what I had got done. I told him a lot of things, like fold the cloths etc. He soon found out that I had made my little sister do all my chores.
Thursday October 4,- I'm watching the news,(sorta) and I happen to see a report on a girl who got kidnapped and sexually abused, they had met on the internet in a chat room, the man had told the girl he was in hes mid-twenties, the girl had to find out that he was not in his twenties the hard way. This shows how people are dishonest to other people.
Friday October 5,- seeing I haven't yet made it through my day and I not lied or been honest with anybody today,I guess that brings me to an end.
My conclusion on what I have learned is that everybody will tell a lie in this life, we just have to push hard to not tell lies and try to be honest with people.
10-1-07
I would love to believe that everyone always told the truth, but unfortunately they don't. I'll be honest, I lie every now and then, but not about everything. My dad even lies about stuff. Usually about things he is going to do or something.
10-2-07
Everyone usually lies about something in their life. I always say I'm going to bed, when I actually go and watch T.V. My dad asked me if my room was clean, so I said yes when it actually wasn't.
10-3-07
My mom was saying she was going to buy groceries, but she didn't. My dad asked if I cleaned my room and hung up my clothes, but I threw them under my bed.
10-4-07
My mom was going to take me to get my permit but she never did.
10-5-07
This morning my dad told me to get up I was late for school when it was only 6:20 A.M.
Honstey is very imporant is our society today. Some people tell a bunch of lies know does. And it is very ridiclious.
10/1/07
Monday a noticed that alot of people told lies. I dont know what was really going on, but there were alot of lies told that day. So they calles for students who was not here on picture day. They were but they told the teacher that they was not. So she let them go. They did not stay gone for to long. But the fact that they did it was very wrong.
10/2/07
Tuesday i didnt really pay attetion on people telling lies. So it was a very good day. But if any body did i did not notice.
10/3/07
Wensday
Ugh there were a few here and there. But they were praticually jokes. I guess you could call it. It's really hard on catching jokes but u just have to be smart.
10/4/07
Thursday

10/5/07
Friday
I have not told any lies this past week. I was very proud of my self. And the only lies i cought. Were the ones on Monday.
Monday 10/1/07
Today I have not told any lies. I am very proud, although I do have the resy of the day to last. I gave witnessed many lie today. On the news, friends, and even a teacher. I think it is very irresponsible to lie. Hopefully, I will not lie for the rest of the day.
10/2/07
Today I was very honest. When I got in trouble I did not lie. Although I did tell very many secrets, no lies. I think this journal is helping because I don't lie so that I don't have to write it down.
10/3/07
I have not lied today either. This journal is really helping. It helps ecause I know I have to present on Friday and I do not want to present lie. I now think twice before I say something.
10/4/07
Today I did lie! I am ashamed of it. I think it actually did good because it got my sister out of my bed. I think that not all lies are bad.
10/5/07
Honesty plays a big role in life. I believe a lot of people lie to benefits theirselves. I lied one time this week. I told me sister to get out of bed repeatly and she did not listen. So in conclusion I told her it was 6:50 and she had 15 minutes to get ready. This got her attention and she jumped out of bed. She was given plenty of time to get ready for school and she was in a much better mood than some other mornings. I do not think it was a good thing that I lied but it did some good. I believe that dishonesty sometimes in certian conditions does good. Many very good political candidates lied many times to get what they wanted but it worked. These people were very successful because the world we live in today many people don't take the truth very well.
Monday: I think that honesty is very important. Every day i come home and Judge Alex is on. For some reason I cant stop watching it. its so funny to me at how people will say one thing untill they are presented with evedence saying otherwise. Then the whole story canges.
Tuesday: I did lie this week. I told someone that something to make them feel better. I was affraid that it would upset them if they found out the truth.
Wednesday: Our band director lies everyday. he doesnt mean to. he tells us to do a set one more time. then when we do he says do it agaian.
Thursday: nothing new today. i am still trying to work on my white lies. it makes a big difference when you look at it.
Friday: i lied to day to make someone feel better. but i dont know if it was right or not.

There are alot of reasons why people lie today but noone really realizes that it dont do no good because you could loose the people you really love because of lies.

10-3-07
Today i herd my brother tell a lie to his friend. He told him he beat some kid up about a year ago but my brother hasent beat anybody up he was just trian to be cool.

10-4-07
I told another lie today. I told my math teacher i had finished my homework but i really didnt.
