"once a cheater, always a cheater"? :>
2007-02-14 20:10:22 · update #1
I cheated all the time in highschool
but don't do it at college.
Maybe because the chances and punishment of getting caught are a lot of more severe.
Or I want to get more of the money's worth....
Hmm.

Of course they have a chance to change. For one year I cheated on all my tests and barely learned a thing. My younger sister was cheating too, and she was caught. My mom asked me if I was cheating, and I said no; I told her if I was, I wouldn't learn anything. The truth is, I only cheated because I was too lazy to study. As is probably true with most people.. But later, I began to feel stupid, and I didn't want to get caught not knowing the things I should know. So, in the next grade, I actually learned the things and I felt much better. There's much less stress about it all and you feel more self-confident.

Yep, but I think it's more of a slim chance of changing because cheaters can get away with it more than once, they're probably going to do it again until they get caught.

There is no excuse for laziness in my opinion, which is what cheating is. The cheater always winds up the biggest loser all the way around.

Yes. I cheated several times when I was a kid. Today, I own everything you own, except a car and a house, but it's not my fault, middle class people generally do not own these two things in my country. I have a happy marriage too. Oh, btw, I do not cheat my boss or colleagues at all. I don't cheat anyone at home either.

Absolutely!! Getting caught and being expelled is a wonderful life-changing event, I would assume!!! @8-)

no . i think everybody can change her or himself. but it wont be easy that much. because when you do sth over and over you then become addicted to it or it becomes a habit for you. but i think a person has this power to change the bad things that has and improve the good things. goodbye!
