I am really good at math, and we have tables with groups in our math class. We work together and it is alphabetized. I said hi to this girl, and she asked the teacher if she could move her seat next to me permanetly. At lunch she came and sat by me too. She copies my paper and I have offered to help her..but she says no. She takes my paper off my desk when I'm working on it! She comes at lunch and I try to talk to her but she says lets finish her homework before we talk. She talks about homework as soon as we start talking. I can't work or concentrate when trying to worry about her. Me and my other friend are getting so annoyed because she sits by us. I can't give her the wrong answers because today she told me that another girl did that to her and she hates her. Should I tell the teacher in a discrete note? I'm too nice to tell her off.

Yes, if you are unable on your own to keep her from cheating off of you, you need to notify the teacher. But don't do it in a note. Meet with your teacher shortly before or after class, or even before/after school - and discuss this with her. Explain to her your concern of possible emotional backlash by this girl and your teacher should be able to reassign her seat without involving you.
All students should work hard to learn and get their OWN good grades! Good luck to you.

I agree with marveliss...tell the teacher and explain that you are worried about backlash from this girl. The teacher will be the "heavy". She will probably "catch" the girl copying off your paper and move her to a seat by herself where she will NOT be able to copy from anyone and then she will have to do her own work or fail. This way the teacher doesn't involve you at all. The girl will think the teacher caught her and is doing what she has to do. As far as lunch, leave your books in your locker or just flat out tell her you are at LUNCH, not in class and you are NOT doing homework at lunch. If she gets mad, who cares. She is using you and could care less about what YOU think, so why worry about what SHE thinks.

hmm
i would notify the teacher so she could be aware , dont tell her she is doing it, but let her you think she might be and that u have offered to help her, however she says no. also find away so she will get caught that way u dont have to tell.
like hmm put a paper on the desk with some wrong answers, and then see if she takes it then slip the paper with the correct answers after she takes the other.
also be sure that your writing is different than hers.
If they see the difference in hand writing it could be of help.
those are two or three ways to to do this
if you dont care about being freind with her, considering she doesnt seem like she is a freind at all, seems she is a user and possiably kind of a bully, i wouldnt let her get away with it, and you have other freind whom seem annoyed by her as well,
So your not losing a freind thats for sure.
good luck

I have been raped too, and beaten, and verbally abused, so i do understand some of what you are going through,i did not face the fact about being raped for a long time.I have felt like killing myself many times. You cannot talk about this until you are ready, if you want to tell this teacher she will have to tell others by law,if you are not ready for this to go further yet,i understand, but you do need someone to talk to now,,what about child line in U.K.or the samaritans. Your teachers are probably already suspicious of you step dad if you have gone to school with bruises, where is your Mum in all this,cant you talk to her? Do you have a Big sister, Auntie, or Grandmother you can talk to?

You should tell her how you feel about how she behaves around you. When she interrupts, than stop her and make her listen to you. Do not do her homework. I had a friend that all she wanted when we were in class or on the phone was her homework done by me. She was getting credit for something that I did. I could have gotten suspended or kicked out of school. But I did not because I stopped her before it was to late. And she stopped talking to me. Then I explained to her in a note, that it was not right to do it and that she was not going to learn anything if I did her homework. So for the sake of both of us that had to stop. I also told her that we could have gotten in trouble because I allowed her to cheat and allowing her to cheat made me part of her cheating.

Be upfront with her. Next time she sits with you at lunch, tell her that you will not let her copy your papers anymore. If she does not want to be your friend because of that, then good to get rid of her. If she's a real friend, she will understand.
If she doesn't get the hint then, tell your teacher face to face after class. Be brave!

Talk to your teacher. She might have noticed the girl is behaving oddly and other teachers might have noticed it as well. You must think of yourself and get this issue resolved. Your education is important and you should not be worrying about her, she is not your friend, she is using you. You don't have to be unkind, and hopefully your teacher will speak to her for you. If she makes things difficult for you, tell your parents and ask them to contact the school. Parents are a great source of support!

Why would you care if she hates you? She isn't a friend to you. She's someone who is using you for homework answers. I don't know if telling the teacher is the way to go. Try to handle it personally, first. Just refuse to do her homework for her.

Sounds like she has no respect for you, dude. You let her do this. To her, you are a push over. And she will keep doing that till you stop her. If she really does like you, it wont effect your relationship. If you are being used, you did not need her anyway.
Letting the teacher do it, speaks for your self respect. Be brave and do it yourself. You will feel better about it and you will have the respect of those around you.

Have a private conversation with your teacher and tell her exactly what you posted to us.
It really is that simple.
I would do it as soon as you are able, because what happens if your teacher compares homework and sees both yours and this girl's math assignments are identical? If you don't say anything now, you will be just as guilty for cheating as this girl is.
