Be First. Be Smarter. Cheat.

Agreed. It's going to be almost impossible to not cheat in the type of competitive climate we are in against each other and others across the world.

Hi Maria. I agree with you. It's part of everyone's school life. Take care my friend. Thanks for joining the discussion. Hi MexKing. Welcome to mylot. I hope you enjoy being here. You are absolutely right. We are in a competitive world that even though we are not in school, we cheat in any way to survive. Have a great day!

Your welcome, I always like chatting with you here. Hope all is well there. :)

I don't judge others based on decisions they have made. I knew people that cheated. I mean I understand the temptation. Everyone wants to pass, even if they don't necessarily deserve to. I was just willing to accept my fate (I used the wrong word up there accepted not excepted, it has been bugging me! Never respond to a discussion while tired!)but many others aren't. I was always willing to help others study or show them how to do something if they would ask rather than just give them the answer. By giving the answer you're not really helping them. I had people that looked off my paper, but I really hated when they did that, but I was always a push over and hated being mean, but I usually tried to help them if I could rather than just giving them the answer. I think people who cheat often don't meet their true potential, because I think with a little help almost everyone can do better. When you cheat that often means you aren't learning what you should, and therefore not doing your best. I think people are capable of so much more than they give themselves credit. People just need to try harder. While yes some people have an easier time learning things, others are still capable of more. Some just have to work harder, and that's ok. It just means they are willing to put the work in to succeed, and that's a good quality to have. While I don't judge, I do encourage hard work to reach ones true potential. Cheating hardly ever gets you where you want in life, and when it does it's not going to feel much like a victory. I guess that's the biggest reason I have never cheated, and where my morals come from on that certain subject.

. Cheating is indeed bad. But there are some instances that students like me were not able to control the temptation. Good for you that you have that ability. When I was younger I could do the same. I also excel but I really don't know the exact reason why I cheated. . I try my best to remember . . . I am curious and guilty.

I admire people who stand by their convictions and to their morals as well... Their type are really a rarity in this world... I think that it's unfair though to burn all your candles while studying while others are what you say smart and just cheat. this is the situation I was into when I was in high school so I also cheated! It's part of a student life.. But I would not recommend it to my kids.. Let them deal with it when they are faced with that situation...

. Wow! I could say you are good. The subjects you mentioned are hard. You need to remember a lot of facts and with physiology and pathology on the sides ... They are heavy stuff. Good for you! I anatomy and physiology too back in college. And I am one of the students who hated these subjects. My gosh... Not my favorites!

. You are just sane. When I just newly graduate, when I talk about body and health I usually use medical terminologies, it was a kind of become a habit and other people I know will say "layman's terms please". Good thing you didn't become a geek, at least a met you here.

Weird friend you've got here! I was thinking, if I didn't get married, I might have become one of the geeks in town! hahaha!

. Thank you for that reminder. We may have cheat during our student life, it is not good to cheat our mother and father. Right now I could not remember if I cheated them. I must recollect and reflect.

. It's fun but future-threatening. Hhahaha. I remember now I have answered a test paper too for a friend in the university. It was in my first year and she hated "logistics". Oh, well,. I remember her now. I'll keep in touch with her thru Facebook, thanks for sharing.

welcome, When I was in college I started to take my education very seriously and never dared to cheat and answer test paper of others anymore. At the time I thought, my parents are paying too much for my education just to mess around. That's why when I was forced to stop attending college, I was so disappointed and hurt. Pfff. Bad memories.. .

. I'm sorry for the bad memories that puff out! Hard times force us to be better, to more determined to pursue our future.

. I could not agree more. Almost all students I think have done this. Ok. I will try to look for that book. Now, i am trying to finish reading "Moms, How Are You Doing?" By Carolyn Buss. It''s a book written by a Christian mom, pianist, teacher and wife of a pastor.

. No worries friend. We are all here to share. I know there are exceptional people. If you are one of them you do not have to worry or be sorry for being following what is right. I seldom see or meet people who stand by their words. I admire you for not being tempted even you have to crawl to get where ever you are now. Kudos to you my friend!
