Letting Friends Cheat doesn't it start to get annoying?

In all three of my classes there's this one friend that I has all three with me. We're actually pretty close too. It was me who changed class and had her in all my classes. Had to do it to fit it in my three class schedule. So out of all three classes the only classes that (insert name) cheats off me is math class. I mean sometimes I do borrow her Hw as she does mine too but EVERY SINGLE TIME we take tests she relies on me to get the answer for her. At first I didn't mind but towards the middle of second semester it bugged me sooooooo bad. I swear throughout the whole school year she passed her tests because of me. ME!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I get so angry because it's like shes getting a good grade because of me. Even though her hw is turned in if we don't pass the tests then we're pretty much screwed. And all this time THANKS to ME his/her test grade is good. Urgh.
The thing that s.cuks is that I am their friend so it's hard to say no. Especially to someone who's close to you. You know what I mean? So all this time I just kept it inside.
I'm not a greedy when it comes to this kind of stuff but you know Enough is Enough!!!!! I guess it is my fault that I let her do that too. The thing I think that's really messed up is that she never said thanks or anything like that.
Today we we're taking our final. It was actually pretty hard. She kept asking me for answers and I told her that I'm not gonna be there with her all the time and she replied 'I'll schedule all my classes with you.' -____-.
So this time I didn't help her cheat but I did catch her cheating off my paper.
I think a lot of you guys will say that I should've told her to do her own work and stop copying me. That the part where it's easier said then done
Time to prove those that were against you who you really are.

It's hard to say know if you're a pushover and let people walk all over you. Your post makes you come across as being very insecure. Not expressing your feelings/not expressing them correctly/not knowing how to express them is not healthy for you.
Easier said than done? Tell her! It's healthy and normal to express your feelings. Do it for your health, you will feel better afterwards.

But the consequences might motivate you to get going.
Talk to your teacher about it? Like ask teacher to "catch" her cheating. And keep it confidential.
It sounds terrible to rat out a friend.
But really, in the long run you're helping her/him out.
And everyone is saying "if she's a real friend she wouldn't want to jeopardize you."
If YOU are a real friend you wouldn't want to let her cheat.
As my teacher says "if you cheat, you're cheating yourself."
He/she has got to learn this mathstuff for herself.

I always let her copy my homework and when i ask to copy hers she says no or ignores me and im like
I think you should just tell her that you dont like it and to stop
Yeah it is easier said than done but it probably will work.
Good luck
But I'm quite the joke to you.<3

I don't copy that often, but sometimes I do. And I have some friends who are more uptight in the no-copying-homework thing than some of my other friends or me, but they tend to kinda go around answering you rather than outright saying "no you can't copy mine" XD They usually just say stuff like "Yeah.... I totally made up my answers though, so it doesn't matter if you look at it" or something like that. I always get off their backs about it if they say it like that; it's annoying when people beg you to let them copy.
So maybe just kinda talk around it? Although your friend seems to be the persistent type that really just needs a straight out "no" every now and then.

_ rofl. it's either stooping to that level. or shrugging off a feeling of someone trying to guilt-trip you for doing what we believe.

Not to mention the TA's were our slaves. We cheated, had answers altered, and won our way through finals. Course, I still rickrolled my AP tests.
Who cares about cheating. Eventually they fail later in life. (Unless you're worried about them bringing you down with them)

Your situation reminds me of what i went through this year. I had a friend who would copy off anybody for the right answers. She copied off work for all her classes since the beginning of freshman year in high school. By the time school rankings came around, she was already ranked at #3 in our graduating class. Because of her inflated GPA from cheating, she was accepted to all the good colleges she applied to. She thinks she deserves all she's getting and that everything was a breeze. She even believes that college is easy and she will fly through it. Well, eventually everyone knew that she was cheating on everything and we all said that we hated her for having an ignorant personality and her cheating irritated us. Hopefully, she won't be able to cheat in college and learn something from her experience. If she doesn't then that's her own fault and not mine.
You really need to tell her the consequences of cheating and how the affect you and others.

Usually during a test, I`d take some extra pieces of paper and cover the answer sheet, or the test booklet/question sheet, and cover whatever answers I`ve written already. :s
