“Right is right only when entire.” - Victor Hugo

Telling a lie is never the right thing to do. That would be an example of doing the wrong thing. Doing the right thing is when you tell the truth, instead of making up something that didn’t happen. For example, saying you’re going to a friends house but in reality not and telling your parents that lie, instead of telling them the truth. Many consequences may come to you just by telling a little white lie. At all times you should always tell the entire story, facts, instead of saying something that didn’t happen at all. “Right is only right when entire.” This means, you only know when you’re doing the right thing when you tell the entire story. If you were to tell a lie to anyone whether it’s your friend, parents, or any other person you would their trust and who knows how it’ll end up for you. Make it easier for yourself and just tell the whole story instead of struggling to make something up.

“Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT.” - Russell M. Nelson

This statement by Russell M. Nelson means you should always do what’s right even when everyone is doing what’s wrong. For example, if everyone in the world were to smoke it doesn’t mean you should do it too. Just because others do the wrong doesn’t mean it’s ok to do it. Even if it was everyone in the world who did the wrong thing, don’t force yourself to do something that’s wrong. Don’t force yourself to be someone you’re not. Don’t try to fit in by doing bad. Stand out for doing good. Doing wrong isn’t going to get you to be successful it’s only going to get you in trouble. Doing the right thing is not only going to get you successful but your future will expand and will open doors for many opportunity. So if everyone does bad don’t try to fit in. Do the right thing and stand out.
