What Barbara is saying is that its important to tell the truth. Telling the truth will make you a better person. One you tell the truth people will have more trust in you and confide in you. Telling the truth will prevent having arguments and confusion. Also it helps from other people getting blamed. An example is if you and your friend are fighting because she feels as if you texted the boy she likes and flirted with him. And its the truth but you're denying it. Don't deny because its gonna get you guys in a lot of drama. Instead tell her the truth. Always tell the truth.
