Answer:

ou should be honest, but don't bring up negative issues. If you must, frame it as a lesson learned.

During a job interview, most employers will ask you questions about your previous positions. This is an attempt to understand whether you would be a good fit in their environment. Therefore, it is a good chance to show your character. If you bring up may negative issues, it could make you seem problematic, arrogant or overly delicate. Therefore, it is better to try to stay away from these topics as much as possible.
