So earlier today i took a math test at school and it was pretty easy for me but my friend Anna was having a hard time and was asking for help. It was hard to say no and i helped her but i know you’re not supposed to share answers so i still feel guilty too.
i think it was a hard situation to be in because if i didn’t help her i would still feel bad.
Did I do the right thing helping my friend on a math test?
That is a really is a tough situation. On the one hand you want to help a friend. Saying no is so hard to do. You get conflicted because you get afraid your friend will resent you or be mad. On the other hand you want to do what is right which is to not cheat. In my opinion you should not have helped. That is where the guilt is coming from because you know it wasn't the right thing. Here is the thing tho. We all learn these lessons in life. You just did. Having that guilty conscious shows that you care about the moral side of the issue. That's a good thing. It also shows that you care for friends. There are little lessons to be learned in life. Take those and learn as you go forward. We all make errors in life. It is those that learn from them that come out on top. To err. Is to be human.
that makes sense now that i think about it that way 🥺 i think i let my feelings for my friend get in the way of doing what’s right because i felt bad for her, but next time i’ll try to do what’s right no matter what ❤️
Don't worry, it's okay, it's not the best things to do but it's not a big deal, you better help her before the test not during the test.
haha, if you saw us in highschool, when I was in 12th grade, I took science instead of literature and the math was horrible, the tests were like an exchange session lol, some supervisors understood what the test mean to us and they let us help each other, but it's a secret huh
Screw that, math is the most overhyped piece of dogsh*t I’ve ever seen in my life (high school+). I would rather watch Dragon Ball Evolution than do that sh*t. Waste of my time, too many brain cells burnt to cinders. Everyone will start yapping about how it will boost your IQ but in my experience, it just boosts your chromosome count. You’ll walk into the classroom a normal human, and you’ll walk out with your flipped over like that kid from Family Guy. My brain is rotting just thinking about it. You have absolutely no reason to feel bad at all, because math failed all of us before we failed it. Buy my book “Yvridio Vaseilio” when it drops.
Some say it’s never wrong to do the right thing & when it comes to cheating or helping someone cheat some say it’s never right to do the wrong thing. As for me a friend is a friend & as for me I will always help a friend unless they need money because I’m a friend when I’m a friend but when it comes to money I’m not your friend & I’m not a bank as well. As for helping your friend cheat on the math test in the eyes of the teacher you were in the wrong & in the eyes of other students they would laugh & say is good for you. You are not wrong but you are not right.
Helping cheat is not really helping. They do not learn when the answers are handed to them. The best way to help is to help her study and learn the material before the test. Then she really has to think about the questions when she gets them, and that is the way to learn.
Helping her once is fine. We all like to help people from time to time, but prior to the next test maybe set aside some time to work on questions with her and help that way instead. It's better if she learns it than cheating off your work.
You'll feel better about it and so will she because she did it on her own (to a certain degree).
You can help your friend study for a test, but helping her with answers on the test is wrong... you know that. Struggling on a test is not failure, it's an opportunity to learn and get better. Explain that to yourself... and to Anna. By "helping" her, you denied her the opportunity to improve herself.
Tell her that you helped her out the one time because she is your friend, but you can't continue to help her on tests because you know in the long run you would be hurting her because she would come to rely on you and not learn things for herself.
This will be fined with prison not under 20 years, or alternatively a fine in the millions dollar range :)
Cheating is a part of life. It can open a career to wealth and politics.
Cheating also sometimes is a necessity - to override some rules to achieve goals that are MORE important.
Anyhow - a ''cheated'' victory is kind of a trap, because it's not a 'real' achievement.
The most most most important detail: never get caught :D

You tried to do the right thing by your friend. It's not really the right thing to do and you knew it. But you're probably not the only one to have ever done so. Ultimately she'll have to stand on her own two feet so I don't suppose it will make much of a difference.
While it is understandable how you feel, it's better to let your friend figure it out. Plus, if you get caught helping them, you could get a fail on your test. You don't want that to happen.
