You know when you let friends cheat off you you'd think that if it's just once in a while it's ok. But omg. I swear of God it gets so irritating and annoying when they just keep copying you and not doing their own work. Now I know why greedy nerds exists.

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

This is something you gotta do for yourself. You can face serious consequences especially in college for cheating. A real friend wouldn't do that to you.

Tell her that you don't feel comfortable cheating during a test., it's better for you both to not risk getting caught. If she gets annoyed, you can simply offer to help her out with studying before the test.

And yeah, a real friend want to put you in jeopardy of something like this.

i don't let anyone copy off my homework to anyone....period. well sometimes i'm nice and i let certain people copy but most of the time i say No. it's not that hard to tell them not to...specially if you're blunt like me. but anyways, it may be hard for you but you have to do it one way or another or he/she will keep relying on you for the answers.

Who cares. you know why, people can't cheat in college. It's impossible to do so. Let her cheat her way into one, and see how she does then. I had friends who were like that too, sooner or later it won't work.

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.

Definitely easier said than done.
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.

How about start telling her the wrong answers. tongue.gif

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.

try hiding your answers.
or don't sit next to her when exams start.

cheating is inevitable.

i just laugh evily and say 'not my fault you're stupid' and try to make it into a joke.

_ 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.

If shes a real friend, once you tell her to stop cheating off you, she will.

During my junior and senior year, I got the counselor to put me and five of my friends into almost all the same classes. So in junior, that was periods 2-5, and in senior periods 2-4 (cause we didn't have no 1 5 6 cause we rocks ;D).

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)

I don't see what's so hard about saying no. I've never let my friends cheat off me. EVER. If they genuinely need help I take time to explain how to do the problems and whatnot but I never directly give them the answer. I just guide em to it. And I do tell them off when I find they cheated on a test. Doesn't make us any less friends. If you really are good friends they wouldn't pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. Best solution? Get new friends. =)
Let me know when the sky falls down so I can catch it.

^Yeah, I don't see what's so hard about not letting your friends cheat off you either. Stand up for yourself and say "I WILL tutor you and help you pass this class, but not through cheating, PERIOD!". If you don't put your foot down and tell her that you're serious about finding it annoying that she cheats off you, then how is she going to know that you're THIS upset over it? She might think you're just playing around and don't mean it since you're being so vague about it. If she gets pissed that you're not helping her cheat (is that even considered a friend?) then hang out with your other friends and let her cool off for a while. She'll realize her own stupidity and come around.

You should tell her you feel uncomfortable when she cheats. Do that before it's too late. Perhaps you could help her understand the material kinda like tutoring her. But only if she is up for it.

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.

I don`t let my friends copy off me, nor cheat off me. They know well enough that I won`t allow it, so they don`t even bother asking me in the first place. If you tell your friend, and she will know, then she might just stop copying off you. Some things just have to be said. :|

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
