The Not So Honest App

"Someone wrote in my honesty box last night!"
This phrase has been said quite frequently after the Apps option of honesty box came up on the oh so addicting facebook. The Truth behind honesty box, well, isn't quite honest as all. The applications purpose of spreading honesty about thoughts about another individual has lost its truth along its use. People use honesty box to say things that are too harsh to reveal the identity of the sender. If honesty box is meant to spread the truth, then the anonymous sender name should just reveal the true identity. The app is normally not used to say kind things but nasty ones to hurt an individual. Why this may make venting about the girl who stole your boyfriend a lot easier, saying mean things that are most likely not true is not the healthy way to go about it.
