ADVICE | SCHOOL

What to do when you're sitting next to a cheater

 
In Spanish class, I’m the girl everyone asks for answers. A few days ago, the girl who sits behind me—who is really bad at Spanish, to tell the truth—asked if she could pull my desk back so she could put her feet up on my chair…right before a quiz. When we got our papers back, our teacher announced that I got a perfect grade. And so did she. I don’t want to tattle, but I also don’t want her to cheat off me. What should I do?

 

It’s possible that Spanish finally clicked for this chica who sits behind you. But it’s also possible that she sneaked a peek at your quiz and copied a few answers. There’s no need to become a tattletale in a sitch like this, though if you want to tell the teach, you certainly can. Nobody should get away with cheating.

 

So what to do? Be your usual, friendly self, but don’t be a doormat. The next time somebody asks you for an answer, offer to help them figure it out, say, “Oh, I don’t know about that one,” or change the subject.

 

And for your next quiz or test, it’s time to go on defense. Round your back over your desk and move your arms over the page as you fill in each answer so nobody else can steal a glance at your paper. You don’t need to accuse anyone to stop the cheating. Just make it impossible for them to cheat off of you.

 

Good luck, girlie, and don’t be afraid to speak up!

I've told you guys about how my parents want me to go to a private school next year. I thought they had given up on the idea, but today I saw stuff for applications and things like that. They are going to go have a tour. I'm pretending to like the whole idea (and, no... I don't know where I'm going with that plan). I love my school and my friends, but I kind of want to find out more. I would (according to the one sheet I read) have to take both Spanish and Latin and give up French... but of course I probably would have to look into that. Should I ask to go on a tour, and how should I behave on the tour? I don't want to seem overly excited (I'm not) but I don't want to be rude. Also, any ideas on convincing my parents that my school I go to now is good? Thanks so much!!! Smile

 

Hey! You have to tell your parents that you really like the school you're going to now. I know you want to be excited because they are, but being honest with them won't hurt their feelings. have an open mind on the tour, because you might end up liking the place. as long as you tell your parents how you feel it should all go more smoothly. good luck!

Please answer ASAP. I'm in our schools play and there is a part when someone says "do your duty" and normally I'm really not an immature person, but the way he says it makes me giggle. Please help me stay quiet!! Thanks!

Hey girlie,

If you are serious about the play, try to think about your teacher and the audience and their impression of you. If you want to show your family, friends and teachers how awesome you are at acting, think of this as a challenge to do well in the play. You can always laugh with your friends afterward!

My b-day is coming up next month, and im planning birthday party early since I usually need a lot of time for that stuff. I'm thinking of who to invite, and I recently stopped being friends with one of my bffs ive known since third grade. She just wasn't being a good friend to me anymore. I used to invite her to all my birthday parties, but I really don't want to invite her this year. She'll just drag me down. My parents say the nice thing to do is invite her so she won't feel hurt and left out... so I don't know whether to invite her or not. help!

Hey girlie,

It's up to you whether or not you invite her since it's your party, but you might want to listen to your parents' reasoning. You don't know if she'll come or how she'll act, and if you used to be good friends for years, you might work through the rough patch you're having right now, in which case not inviting her might cause unnecessary drama. If you have enough budget and space to invite her, I would err on the side of caution and include her since you have been friends for so long. And if there's something she's done that makes you think she's not a good friend, you could talk to her in private (before or after the party) about it to work things out.

Mod Mod Mod My brothers ex girlfriends birthday was Friday. So for her birthday I gave her a note and I made her a collage of pictures. I gave her the note on Thursday at school cause I had to leave early on Friday. I made the collage on the computer and I didn't have enough ink to print it. I was so mad I couldn't give it to her. I took the time to make it and I was really looking forward to giving it to her. The note was stuff that I love about her, an apology and a I want you back in my life kind of note. I just gave it to her at her locker and then left. I don't know what she thought of the note. How could I bring it up. Also how could I give her the collage if I can't print it? I can print it at my local library but I don't go there often and I want to give it to her really soon since it was already her birthday. Please help and please answer as soon as you can! Thanks soo much Mood! You guys are soo helpful!

 

hey! You should print it as soon as you can get to the library. When you see her just ask if she got your note, or else just say hi and see how she responds. If she's ready to be friends you'll know if she seems friendly back. good luck!

@topaz1116
The "big deal" about cheating is that people that start small, so to speak, are more likely to cheat on big tests, like the SAT or AP tests, just to name a few. Cheating on the SATs is punnishable by law under fraud. Recently, a couple of kids at Harvard got busted for cheating. They got into that school by cheating, and they were caught at Harvard. They were kicked out, and now have that on their permanent record.
So what's wrong with it? It lets kids who don't do as well in school do better that kids who actually try and get good grades without using somebody else. And if you get caught, you're in BIG BIG BIG trouble.

by uni301 on 3/13/2013 5:14:39 PM

 
 

Hey topaz1116 you asked what the big deal is about cheating? Well, first and foremost it won't help you learn, there isn't anything wrong with studying for a test with a friend, but when you swap answers. You're hurting yourself. If you cheat off of someone else it isn't fair to them,because they probably worked hard to get the answers (plus if they're wrong you're copying wrong answers). Oh, and this is just my personal opinion, but cheating is kind of plagiarism (which is illegal). Lastly, if you get caught the consequences are harsh, in the long run it won't help your education and can get you in a lot of trouble.

by glass-tears on 3/13/2013 3:12:00 PM

 
 

There is really no proof that she is cheating...I wouldn't say a word. You could cause a mess for someone who (like the article said) had the language click. I had situations like this were one time the answers just hit me. Maybe it was the same for her.

Nobody should get away with cheating, and telling the teacher that someone is cheating is not being a tattle tale! Good luck with this situation chica!

Okay, so you know One Direction, right? Well my BFF and I really love them, A LOT. There is also a group of girls at my school who love them too, but they talk crap about my BFF and me, saying that we are directionators (fake fans that only like one of the boys and hate the rest), but that isn't true. They think that they are the only directioners that 1D has and no one else deserves to be a fan.It is really immature and annoying, and that is why they hate us, over a band! It sounds completely ridiculous, I know... and no one deserves to be called a 'fake fan'. They are even friends with this one girl and say she is a directionator too. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle all of this? I'm just tired of it. Thanks.




Hey girl!

This whole situation sounds pretty silly. The One Direction boys are adorable, so I totally understand why you girls love them so much. But there's no reason these other girls should act as if they own the band! That's just ridiculous. So instead of getting involved in petty fights with these other girls, stick with your BFF and love One Direction as much as you want. The other girls are being super immature, so don't stoop down to their level!

So toget to my point what does that mean ??????? like is it good or bad that she said that? Thanks in advance




If she isn't your friends, don't worry about why she said it. Just be happy that people don't hate you.

Hey kylovesjoe98, just tell your parents how afraid you are. These days it's very likely a kid could bomb a school. It could be a prank, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And you probably won't be the only one missing a day from school. I'm sure your teachers will understand the only reason kids are missing days is because they're afraid. Hope this helps! Xoxo

PLEASE answer this question before tomorrow!!!! At my school, there has been a bomb threat. On the mirror in one of the bathrooms, it said: I will bomb the school at 12:45pm on January 26, 2012. I am VERY scared to go to school tomorrow. The cops were at school today at the end of the day to check it out, but Im still scared. Is there anything I can do to convince my parents that I dont want to go to school?????? I just dont want to die and I know its unrealistic that a kid in middle school would have a bomb, but there are other things like fireworks... Even if there is a fire, I will cry~~ I am deathly afraid of fire. Please help and I dont want it to be like another Columbine situation. PLEASE help. Thanks!

This MIGHT sound REALLY DUMB, but in 4th grade, these Kid's made up something called "The Matthew Touch" Because of this one gross Kid. It's about if Matthew touches you, you have to pass on his "Touch" to someone else. It's kind of like the Cheese Touch from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Today, Matthew walked by me and we kind of touched. I've touched A LOT of people and A LOT of objects in my house, but my OCD AND Anxiety (I have OCD AND Anxiety) are telling me that it's not gone! What should I do? I know I sound REALLY DUMB right now, but still, I want it gone! Please help!
Briana




Hey Briana,

Omg girl...really? You're way too smart to be giving in to such gossipy stuff! Matthew doesn't have a "touch" you have to get rid of - he's a normal kid and, unfortunately, is getting bullied by your class for nothing he's done wrong. Be above this and stop trying to "get rid of his touch." There's nothing to get rid of! Do you do this after EVERYONE touches you? Nope. So remind yourself that he's a normal person and there's nothing to transfer or get rid of. And please try to be nicer to him by not buying into this nonsense <3

MODMOD!! I don't know what to do because this girl at my school is doing inappropriate things and telling everything to everyone. Some of the things are illegal, she is my bff's friend so i can't just walk away from it. She would never listen to me but i don't want to tell on her because i don't want to lose my bff or look like a tattletale. But this stuff is serious and she is five years underage. Even if i did i wouldn't know who to tell!HELP!!!!




Hey girlie,

It's awesome that you want to protect this girl, but honestly some people need to make their own mistakes and take care of themselves. I'm not saying you should let her destroy herself or get herself into dangerous situations - but if she decides to make some questionable choices that you would never make, it's not necessarily time to step in. If she's getting your BFF involved and putting other people in danger, then it's really serious and you should chat with a teacher or a friend's parent (or your own parent) about it. Otherwise, try to show her you aren't interested - that doing all these things doesn't make her cool - and ignore it the best you can. But like I said, if it crosses the line and you're worried that she's sucking other people in (or really hurting herself), speak up <3

    I go to a privet school and it's pretty expensive so all the kids that go their a like rich. My family's well off but not really rich like the other kids. I'm not getting a car for my 16th birthday and I don't have an iphone I really want on but my family keeps saying we can't afford it..i'm getting really upset about it an jealous..any advice?
    thanks!!





Hey girlie,

I totally understand - I was in your exact same sitch once! It was no fun, but I learned to overcome it. First, I got a part time job so I could earn some extra cash. You can save this up to make those big purchases you want, like an iPhone or a new purse. You can't buy a car on that obviously, but you don't need one - I didn't get a car for my 16th birthday, but that would've meant constantly driving all my friends around to where we needed to go! I'm not their personal limo driver! Instead, another one of my friends was always the "driver" - so the responsibility was off my shoulders and I could enjoy it instead. And I know this sounds cliche, but try to remember that life isn't about the money. Sure money can make parts our lives easier, but you have to focus on being happy with what you've got! That means getting involved in your hobbies, loving your friends and family, and being thankful for what you do have. A good education, a computer to surf GL.com...you're already huge steps ahead of a lot of people Smile

But then my teacher forgot to put down one of the maps to find the states Of Canada and my friend was pointing at it to tell me our teacher forgot to put it down so we went back to work and my teacher grabbed my work and then after ward she took me and my friend ( zohre) aside and told us we were cheating! she told zohre she was telling me to cheat but she wasn't! SHE GOT THE WHOLE thing wrong and now she says shes gonna watch us during tests! Now she doesn't trust us and im not gonna get blamed for somthing we didn't do And I never cheat on test i worked hard on the test and now shes going around watching our every move and i just wanna grab my teacher and tell her to back off! We weren't talking either so she can't assume we were cheating ... I cant handle being in a classroom where my teacher thinks were both cheaters i tried telling her we didn't but she wont believe us,




Hey doll,

The next time you have this teacher, ask politely if you can speak to her after class or school. When she doesn't have any students, she is more likely to hear you out and compromise on a solution. The best thing you can do for now is to be polite and listen and participate in class. Teachers are usually forgiving, so you should be able to get back on her good side in no time!

I really don't know what to do. I'm going into high school next year, and I don't know where to go! If I go to public school (I've always been public) then I have to go to this school where a kid hung himself and there was a bomb threat and the school went into lock down. My other option is private. I have my eye of two Catholic private schools. I know people who are going to my public school, and one person who might go to one of the private schools. My dream has always been Ivy Leauge (I have the grades) but my dad doesn't think that I would get in under grad at the public. One student in the hisory of the school made it to Stanford. I don't know what to do!




If you have such big dreams i say you go for them!! Do all you can to achieve those dreams. So if that means going to private school will give you that chance then do it! IF you dont take the chance you may regret your decision. xoxo kerra

Hi, I need some advice... me and my best friends (There is 6 of us all together)are being bullied by another girl... she always denies if we tell. She pushes, and insults, hits, lies, kicks and is a proper bully. We are scared of her, to be honest. The thing is, she can be really nice one moment then a complete bully the next! It's so difficult... we decided today to officially dismiss and ignore her.. the thing is, I'm only so good an actor. Words hurt. Please, what should I do? We don't have a counsellor or anyone like that; everyone knows how she can be. Ugh, I'm so tired of this happening! Please give me some advice, thank you.xxx




Hey babe! 

You're on the right track!  If you don't have a counselor, be sure to tell an adult you care about about this problem - both in school (maybe a favorite teacher or principal) and at home (mom, dad, your guardian, or an older sibling). I'm glad that you've recognized that you should ignore this kind of friend, and have realized that it's better to not have her as a friend than to continue a relationship with her - that takes a lot of maturity. I'm so proud of you! Good luck with this tricky sitch xoxox

Hey missy, it could have been just a coincidence. Different girls experience different things during their periods. Some get really bad cramps, others bad headaches, a few girls even throw up. On my period I don't experience any of those things. At the most I get a stomach ache, and even that isn't bad. So it really depends on your bod. Just be sure to have some medicine and maybe a heating pad just in case you do start to feel a little ill on your period. Hope this helps!!! Smile Smile

Ok, so you and your parents have to sit down with your niece one day. You should tell your niece how her behavior makes you feel and why it's bad. Then your parents have to tell her what her punishment will be every time she's mean to you, and then they have to follow through with it! That's really important. Good luck, you can do this!

ok, so i was having problems seeing things from a distance so i my doctor told me to wear glasses. when i went to choose the frame i liked there weren't many choices and i didn't think about going somewhere else so i just picked the one that was better than the rest. but when i started wearing it i realized that it looked horrible. i asked my parents to change it for me but they said it's too expensive but the glasses look hideous on me. got any advice on how to get money fast so that i can get new glasses? sorry, so long. thanks in advance.




Hey girl! 

Why don't you first figure out what you love and then think about how to make money off of that. So if you love arts and crafts, make friendship bracelets and sell them to kids in the caf! If you love kids, try setting up a babysitting service! Have fun with it. xoxox

Sometimes she's nice and other times she's a squeaky little monster. Even my 3 nephews all together are better then one her! I"m worried my nephews will learn from her and try and hurt me. What should i do? I do nice things for her like once i bought her a doll and she didn't thank me for it. And she calls me names. She is a bully most of the time. I think she hates me. Sometimes she is sweet and other times she try's to rip my head off! She's a bully yet she has a lot more friends then me! Sorry this is so long(883 characters!)but i really need help with this! Thanks so much!

ok soo some of my best friends in the whole world are guys, but the problem is everyone says im a slut when i hang out with them because i have a boyfriend11 but i talked with him about it and he is totally cool with it , but they wont listen and keep saying stuff like that! my bgf's always pick me up and hug me and all that though, is it wrong?




Hey girlie,

It's not wrong at all! Everyone's relationship with their friends is different - if yours is playful and involves hugging, that's totally fine! The other people really need to mind their own business. As long as you've talked to your BF and he doesn't feel threatened or suspicious of your friendship with your BGFs, and you are happy with the relationship/friendships you've got, then that's all that matters Smile Honestly the other people are probably just jealous that you get along with guys so well!

Haha a while ago, this guy kept cheating off my math quizzes! I saw him, but I didn't want to tell the teacher, so one time I wrote in all the wrong answers (but put down the right ones in the margins). After he turned his test in I fixed them all. It was soooo funny!

Thx for answering mqy last question. My twin brother matt, my bff Trinity, my bgf Daniel and I all started a band. It's really productive and within a year we could get serious, but there's one problem: Abbi (again)! Our band is supposed to be secret until the talent show, but somehow Abbi is getting info about it. She knows everything about it except for what we have so far for our first song. She wants to join it, but she can't play any instruments and she said herself that she sucks at singing. If we let her join, she'll totally take control! Plus she's even asked to come watch us practice and give us "useful tips on what we suck at". HELP!!!!! Thx!




Hey girlie,

You need to figure out who is dishing all the details to Abbi and make sure it stops! This isn't Abbi's fault - she just wants to be included. It's whoever is spilling all those secrets before the big day! If Abbi asks again, just let her down nicely by saying you've all been practicing a lot and you'd love to do something for the next talent show, but you all have to focus now in the home stretch to perfect the performance you've already figured out. You could always try to spin it by making her your official cheerleader? Sometimes people like that - they come to rehearsals, bring snacks, cheer you guys on, give their opinions, etc. - but they're not directly involved, so you don't have to take their advice if you don't want to. Just try to get through the next few weeks (or however long til the talent show) and then it'll be over!

I got accused of cheating because I lifted up my head to see what time it was! Frown The teacher believed me though.

there's this girl named Abbi and she is my best friend Trinitys best friend, but I used to not really like her. But now, she can be really nice! On the bus to our flag football games, she offered to be my bus buddy and showed me a book she really liked, and even lent it to me! But then the next day before school, I walked up to her and all her friends (shes really popular) and the first thing she said was, "Oh, well look what the cat dragged in!" in a loud, rude voice! Trinity usually stands up for people, but she just stood there looking at the ground. Then after school, Abbi asked if I wanted to go to her house but the next day she was mean again! What is up with everyone? Thx and sorry it so long! (738 characters!)




Hey girlie,

It sounds like Abbi just tries to sound "cool" when she's around a group of people - honestly, it sounds more like she wanted to use that phrase than she wanted to be mean! She's just showing off. Personally, I'd try to be friends with Abbi...but not best friends. Enjoy her company when she's nice and happy and, once she gets mean, give her some space. If she says anything that really hurts you (something personal about you/your body/your personality), try catching her on her own and be honest: say something like "I just wanted to let you know that what you said earlier kinda hurt my feelings," then shrug and see what she says. It's worth it to be honest!

Wow. I might look around on occasion, but I've never cheated. Why would go as far as to cheat to get a perfect grade? You don't learn anything.

So I've had a crush on this guy J for about a year now. I'm head-over-heels in love with him but I think he only likes me as a friend. We txt every week (almost every day) and whenever I see him around school he smiles and I smile or we high five. At a football game he hugged me, twice! My friends keep telling me to "make a move before someone else does" (he's really hot...) the problem is that I'm not allowed to date. My parents are VERY strict, I can't even have guy friends over. I don't want to be like "hey I like you will u go out with me but I can't date so we'd have to keep it a secret" (LAME) haha idk what to do!! I loVE him so much it hurts when I go days without seeing him. Help? Advice?




Hey chica,

Work on getting closer to him by hanging out in groups, working on school projects together, joining a club together, or volunteering together. That way, you're not dating - but you're still getting to know each other better, hanging out, and enjoying each other's company! Be honest about your sitch though so he knows it's not you who doesn't want to date him! He'll understand - it's not your fault!

also I feel like my little sister is stealing what I am. I know I'm going to sound selfish (i really am trying not to be) but if you read my last question I hope you're not still thinking that. Anyhow I play the flute-started late cause my school didn't have band until I was in 6 gr. My lil sis in 4 gr. started playing this year. Music is my thing. It's been for a long time. My lil sis has sports which I was never ever good at. And now she has both and its not fair. She brags that she can to the splits and I can't and brags that she's better at basket ball and I hate it. I hate not being able to do that. I try hard to embrace the fact that she plays flute too-I help her if she needs help. But its my thing and my mom is always going 'ooh she scored a basket in her first year-you shoulda seen her! She's going to be so good at flute in a few years!' and that just makes me feel worse. I want her to quit flute. I don't know what I should do! Help?
tysm! srry if I sound mean




Hey girlie,

Instead of focusing on wanting your sister to quit, try focusing on your performance! Challenge yourself to be better, become more accomplished, work harder, and feel more satisfied. Your sis is just trying to find the things that help her express herself, so she's probably taking a cue from her older sis and trying out the things you love first. You could also try coming up with ideas for sports/activities she could try based on what you know about her interests and personality! Give her a new idea once in a while to inspire her. But otherwise, work hard yourself and try not to focus too much on her Smile

Idk what to do about my little sister. She hits, kicks, pinches, scratches, and calls names and Idk what to do. She is 9 and when I try to be nice to her she does something bad-and when I try to ignore her my mom yells at me! I try to tell her to just be nice to me and I'll be nice to her in return, but she says that I'm the bad one Which may be the case sometimes-only after she does something really bad though never gets in trouble, when I tell my mom she just sides with her. She gets mad at every little thing. Is there something wrong with her? Is there anything I can do to make her be nicer to me? She says 'I hate you' to me every day-and tattles lies to my parents. What should I do?

Hey girlie,

Remember that she's your little sister - you feel mature and much older, but she's still just a kid! Even if you weren't this outta control when you were 9, you can try to understand that she hasn't really become herself yet. Try to cut her a little slack. But still, you shouldn't put up with physical abuse from her. Even at the age of 9 (when she may be selfish, needy, moody, etc.), she should know better than to physically take out her aggression on you. THIS is when you need to tell your mom. Pick your battles - if you tattle about everything, mom won't take you as seriously. But if you wait until she has actually hurt you, then tell mom, you're making a good case. You should feel safe in your own house and violence is unexcusable!
