Isn’t it strange that children are taught to tell the truth, but
adults don’t have to live by the same standard of honesty?
It seems to be second nature for most adults to withhold the truth or
to lie about some things when talking with youngsters. Yet children are
expected to live by a higher standard, and rightly so – for their
protection may depend on their open dialogue with those who care for
them.
But hiding the truth from our youth is
still wrong, for being exposed to the truth is the best way for them to
learn how to deal with the problems, injustices, indifferences, and
cruelties of the world, so that we will have a kinder and more peaceful
world.
This web site is dedicated to Telling
Youth the Truth and encouraging others to do the same.
