Anyone else believe that?
I don't. I don't cheat in school often, but sometimes I have to. Like if I'm really confused on a homework thing. Usually math or science. Sometimes other assignments don't make sense. I usually do it all on my own but like I said, I need answers sometimes. So usually friends help me out. I help them too.
How is it going to hurt you? Really, when are we going to use history in life, or science, or advanced math? Never. Unless you're going to get a job that has to do with that stuff.
I've asked tons of adults who have been through school if they have EVER used any of that stuff and they said no.
I've never cheated on a test or whatever. Usually it's just with homework. But not much though.
Anyway, do you believe that stuff? Do you think cheating is okay sometimes?
You especially need to do it when you have NO IDEA on how to do it at all and if you fail that assignment it will hurt you pretty bad.
First of all, "If you cheat you're only hurting yourself" is true. If you're cheating on a test or an assignment only to get it done, get the good grade so it looks good for college, or whatever you want the good grade for...then, yeah, you are hurting yourself. Do you know how to do that certain area of math or science? Do you not comprehend it?
If you don't comprehend the assignment or what's being taught ask the teacher for help. About 99 percent of teachers will set time aside for you after school to help you out and help you better understand what is being taught to you.
Just because there are some adults around you that say, "Oh, don't worry about that you won't EVER use that in your life again." First off, what kind of adult is that? Second off, who's to say that you WON'T need to use that again in your life? You just MAY because you never know where you're going to end up.
When I was high school people used to try and copy off me all the time. I used to let them because I knew what I was doing, and if getting a good grade helped them, that's fine. But they won't ever know how to do that certain area of education. Trust me. I talk to people who graduated with me recently and mostly all of them say they wished the paid better attention and didn't cheat to get the good grade because it would be nice to know certain things.
So, how about this? Take advice from this adult. Pay the **** attention in school, do the work yourself, and don't rely on other people to do it for you. Because in the really real world when you go to work...do you think someone is going to let you cheat off of them? Trust me, they aren't and you'll be left jobless and wanting to constantly cheat off of people because you CAN'T DO IT YOURSELF!
