In your student life, did you cheat in a particular exam or test?.. Are stdents really honest to their parents when it comes to giving and budgetting your allowance?..

I don't cheat in school. It's not fair for those that studied and I don't see the point in it. Tests are to see how much we've learned and if we understand the material, why cheat for them? Yes, I'm honest to my parents when it comes to my allowance. They give me more than I need each month (I don't really go shopping.. xD) and why should I try and take more from them? They're the ones working to earn for our family. Lying about allowances is basically stealing from your parents. =P

I can say that cheating is somehow unavoidable thing in student life and I can say that once in my life being a student, I also made some acts. But when I started to study in a university, I realized how to stand on my own and depend on my own intelligence.With regard to the relationship between a student and his parents,we cannot generalize all students. While some keep their honesty to their parents, others are not.There are so many factors that contributes to this thing. I grew up with a strict parents and they really taught me how to be honest with them. Ever since a child they discipline me and keep on telling me not to tell lies. Once they learned that I made a lie, they punish me with a belt. Because of that I started to be afraid in inventing stories to them. I do not fool them regarding some expenses in school. We are not rich and I know that our parents are really struggling hard just for us to finish school. They not mind about themselves just to give us a good education.That is why I am also doing my best to reciprocate the love,kindness and support they are giving to us.

In university, at least with us, it's hard to cheat, and I won't risk it as the punishments are quite severe. I don't have to lie to my parents about financial issues, they give me a fair, fixed amount of money every month with which I do what I want. They don't know I'm trying to make money online though, I don't think they would agree with it. I also don't tell them about everything I do during the week (here in Belgium, lots of college students rent a room near university where they live during the week and sometimes during the exams, but they go home almost every weekend). I'm going to way more parties than they think or would approve, doing much more extra-study activities, but in my opinion, as long as I don't fail my exams, they have no business with that.
