Academic Dishonesty

Although I have done a few things in my past to get an extra point or two on a test, I am strongly against cheating in any form. It hurts the person cheating as well as the person they're cheating from. It builds a negative character on that person, and they will soon begin to rely on cheating to pass certain tests or finish essays. That person will end up not knowing what they're doing in the future, and will get to a point where they can't cheat to get passed a certain area. Their life will soon fall apart and they will most likely have to start back at square one. Whenever a person tries to cheat off of me, or asks if I can, I agree to let them. But as soon as the day of the test comes around, I won't let them. Not only is it funny to me to watch them suffer for their own ignorance, it also teaches them a lesson. Cheating is wrong, and there are a few people out there that truly believe in that.
