But this is the wrong way- no good can come of lies, honesty is always the best policey even if you haven't always been honest- if you lie, and keep it inside you, it will just become worse.

I'm not sure that's always true. I'm sure there are many situations where keeping quiet is best for all involved. If someone made a mistake years ago, but everything is OK right now, why spoil it by dragging all that up? People change, and just because someone made a mistake, doesn't mean they have to admit it to get over it. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
