Honesty
How important is honesty to you? Is it more important than kindness? Share a story of a time you or someone you know was not honest and it caused problems or was 'too honest' and it caused problems.

Honesty is very important to me. I think that it can be more important then kindness. Sometimes being honest is being in kind but, other times when your to honest then it can also be very rude. So honesty and kindness are both important.

I know this girl and she is very honest with everyone. She tells you what ever is on her mind. She doesnt really think if it will hurt the other persons feelings. If she thinks you look ugly then she is gonna tell you that you look ugly. If you didnt do your best at a basketball game then she will tell you that it is not ok at all even if you did better then her. So being too honest is usually a bad thing.

There has also been an experience where someone lied to my friend. There was this guy and he said that he loved her and all that stuff. So she was really happy. Then all of a sudden he just totally left her. After she found out that everything he did was just pretend. Everything was a lie. So everything just was bad from then on. So then her friend talked to him and said things to him that he had nothing to say back because he knew that he lied and what he did was wrong and stupid.

Imagine that you have a superpower. The Power of Persuasion. You can convince anyone of anything. How would you use that power? What would you try to get, do, change? Would you use it for good? Or evil? Describe what the Power of Persuasion is.

If i had the power o persuasion then I would use it all the time. It might be a bad thing sometimes, well for other people but not for me. I would use it to convince my parents to let me hang out all the time and stuff like that. I would also convice my coach that I shouldnt have to run suicides when he says i have to.

I think i would use my power for good and evil. I might do something that I think is good but other people think it is evil so it really could be both good and evil at the same time. I would try to get some money or something out of it. Just convince people to give me like 20 bucks every now and then. I would just save that money for a while and i would havent to get a job for a while.

For me persuasion means to convince someone to let you get what you want or to convince them to do something they dont want to do. I think you can also compromise with some one and it can be persuasion. An example is if you want to go hang out with your friends on a friday night and your parents say no, you could say please please i will do the dishes when i get home. That usually gets them. You just have to know what they want done and say you will do it when you get home if they let you go hang out.
