Trust and Honesty Relationships

Explore how honesty, respect and reliable actions help build trust. Read each situation carefully. There may be more than one thoughtful way to respond to some questions.

What trust looks like

Trust grows through repeated actions. It can be strengthened by honesty and care, and damaged when someone is let down. People can work to repair trust, but the person who was hurt gets to decide what they need.

1.Which action is most likely to build trust over time?

Agreeing to everything, even when you do not mean it
Doing what you said you would do, or explaining honestly if plans change
Keeping quiet whenever a friend is upset
Sharing a friend's private message to prove you are close

2.A friend tells you something personal and asks you not to share it. What is a respectful way to respond, and when might you need to get help from a trusted adult?

3.True or false: Being honest means you must say every thought exactly as it comes to mind, even if it is hurtful.
