Its according to whom you are telling it too. If children--no --sugar coat it--you don't want to put fear in a child's heart and make them afraid of growing up for the perhaps hard life that you may have had to go through! When you get older--and have gone through a long journey and have had lots of life's experiences-- You may want to tell the truth-- (to adults) so that others may learn from your mistakes. Lessons in life are learned by the person-- never the one who is telling the story---- We all fall from time to time and lessons at times are so very hard--Life isn't easy nor' is it a garden path without thorns. When a person falls as an adult---he/she is the one who has to pick themselves up-- Mother and Daddy are not there to pick you up when you grow older.

If you are going to tell of a lesson that life has taught you it is best not to "sugar coat" it.
A lesson can only be taught if the person teaching knows the facts and tells them as such.
A "sugar coated" lesson is called a story.

I'll never ever sugar coat it
I know what's the consequences when a person learns sugar coated lessons

First off, they would need to be old enough to understand, because I would be very truthful and tell them like it is, maybe a little hard for someone younger than 15 or so, to comprehend.

Sugar coating is never taken seriously.

i would tell them like it is because if you sugar coat it then sometimes they think lightly of it and carry on with their life as normal
like for instance i would say:
a mistake is only a bad one of you dont learn from it !

Yeah, why would you lie about that? each person has their own experience so granted hopefully they won't think their life journey will be the same as yours.

never sugar coat anything, especially if they are a friend... its your job as a friend to be honest and trustworthy.

I would tell them how it is.
One lesson I have learned is you can't make things change by doing nothing.
