This is a test of your integrity and loyalty. If you give them the right answer..you feel like you are cheating...if you don't..you feel like your friend will dis-own you because you didn't help him/her. This a turning point in your life my friend. We have all been there. My answer has always been.."I don't know for sure. I'm just gonna' take my chances" . You do the same. I won't help someone else cheat. Someday you will face the IRS and they will be assertive and you better be passive...if not....you better be rich..

Assertive means that you state your feelings while still being respectful to the other person's.
Passive means that you think of the other person's desires and disregard your own feelings.
(Aggressive means that you only think of your own feelings and disregard the other person's.)
(Passive-Aggressive means that you disregard the feelings of both the other person and yourself.)
In this case:
Assertive = No. Giving you the answers is wrong. The test is to show what you know, not what I know.
Passive = Sure. Go ahead and use my answers.
Aggressive = You can't have my answers. I can't help it if you're too stupid to learn this stuff. It's easy.
Passive-Agressive = (Not talking to them and just walking away.) (Giving them incorrect answers.)

Say "Since we're such good friends I know you don't want me to give you answers I worked hard to get when you can get your own answers...I will be your good friend by saying no so you don't get into a bad habit of asking others to do your work for you..." Anyone who gives you answers does you a great disservice.

Don't give them the answers. Tell them that, and also tell them that you will tell the teacher if they do cheat.
