Integrity

Integrity means having the courage to be honest whether or not the consequences may be good or bad. Having and using integrity in your daily life will allow you to live in honesty and have people want to trust you.

Finally, if you were bullying one of your classmates, you should own up to it and apologize to the person instead of lying and hurting the person

I was ashamed of my lie and I owned up to it and got a zero on the project. I deserved the zero and all of the consequences I received for lying and not finishing the
