Why You Should Have Good Character Traits

 Character traits are a big part of being human. Having a “Good character” means that you don’t get an attitude when you get upset, you don’t talk back to your friends and family or even people trying to help you.  When a person doesn’t make fun of you although they could have, you don’t make fun of them, that’s part of being a good person. 

Being jealous of somebody is an incredibly bad characteristic.  Being jealous of somebody means that you’re comparing yourself with somebody.  You should be happy with who you are. Being dishonest is one of the biggest character traits that are unhealthy. Being dishonest is telling someone that you don’t trust them and then they shouldn’t trust you. 

When we are rude to somebody that is also a very bad characteristic because when you are rude to your friends, family, and other people that you
encounter, being rude contributes to a “low intensity, negative behavior” and it proves that can interfere with somebody’s work or task.

Reasons you should have good character traits are that you will be happier with your life, and you will attract more amazing people. You will also attract family that wants to be around you. 
       
Good character traits are having integrity because it is the quality of being honest, trustworthy and responsible. Another good trait is having courage because you will be more excited to do a task and then you will be able to get it done, because you want to do it and it also means that you will be more willing to speak up for yourself or someone else.

Another thing I want to add is that nobody is perfect and always will make mistakes throughout life, but the person you decide to be, can change how others react toward you.  Another characteristic I’d like to mention is not lying, as humans we lie, sometimes a lot, sometimes not on purpose, or even occasionally. But we all lie and that is a bad character trait because when you lie to people they don’t know if you’re telling the truth or not and once they find out about it, and you don’t want people to lie to you so why lie to them? 

There’s another way of back talking, by using actions like just taking the thing you want, when the other person says “no” like back talking and saying, “Let me have it” Back talking can go in many shapes and sizes.  I witnessed something today two people in my class where “fake fighting” and then it turned into an actual fight over something ridiculous, the point I’m trying to state is that when somebody angers you so much, take a deep breath, stop yourself do anything
it takes to not engage, stop yourself from hitting them. 

Now I want to talk about unnecessary drama, unnecessary drama is a very big problem in today’s world. We as humans create so much drama that does not have to happen, we create drama because we want attention from our friends or family, and this is a bad characteristic we have. How to not create drama you
might be asking? Well, it’s simple the ways are: Tell the truth, focus on you, say no and just know your limits. These are all different ways to not create drama, now you might be asking what is considered “back talking?” Well, back talking is again, in many shapes and sizes but the best ways are: Pay attention to the person, stay relaxed, refer to their rules and yours. Always remember Back talking is disrespectful.
