Is it better to be completely honest to fix a problem or should you hide the truth? ps: i need help please at-least 5 sentences thank u :)

i encountered a lot of situations like that, whether should i hide the truth or to be completely honest. well my own experience is, when i am accused by stealing a phone even though i didn't. i know it was one of my classmates, but i am afraid to spoke up because even if i say the truth, they will still accuse me. no matter how long or real your explanation is, they will still doubt you are lying..

Explanation:

for me it is much better to stay silent. because when you're completely honest in one thing, you would still be a liar to them. if you hide the truth, you would still be a coward or not enough confidence to say the truth. this is the mindset of the people that needs to be change. bcs no matter how good or honest you are to speak for yourselves, they will still say something bad to you. you would be called weak for hiding the truth, you would still called a liar even if you're completely honest...

it may be too long and hard to understand but hope this helps ;)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
