I don't think its a big deal. Invoke would be to Don't see what could come form that might want to see if they have a section in the handbook about it.
Man I would really consider telling her if your looking at all this **** as possibly a result of it. Could you see yourself in 2 weeks going "why the hell did I do that to myself" cause it sounds like it could happen. Think it over and get all the details before u do anything.
Dude, there is only one thing to do. Talk to your teacher, in person, and tell her the truth. Lying only makes it worse. Tell her that you did it because you weren't man enough to tell him no and it bit you in the ***. That you accept responsibility for your actions. Short and sweet. Life isn't always easy. Peer pressure is a ***** at that age. But part of becoming a man is doing what's right, not what's easy, And that includes manning up and taking responsibility for your actions. Understand that you probably are going to get in trouble, but I guarantee you you'll feel much better once your conscience is clear. Make the decision now and sleep well. Whatever happens, happens. Remember, you're not going to jail. The sun will still rise on Thursday morning. And don't tell this jerkoff about it either. He could care less about you. He was out for himself when he asked to copy off you. And then he had the nerve to STEAL your work and pass it off as his own. The ****? He deserves whatever retribution he gets from the teacher. Let her handle him. I know most people cheat in high school. It was that way when I was there 12 years ago. You'll see it in college too. And you can see the results today in society, where so many people are so mediocre. Lazy. Be one of the ones that carries your own weight, and establish those good habits while you're young.
i had OSS on my birthday one year. it sucked. because they made you show up to school on a saturday...
naw I wasn't. I don't think its a big deal. Sounds like they invoke some sort of standard they have set and go from there. And since alen hasn't been in trouble before, I don't see anything coming from it.
lol I just assumed. But ya it may be like some kind of probationary or monitored thing where they just don't want him to screw up again or he'll be punished.
Alen, you remind me of me when I was in HS. Whenever I did something wrong, I'd always fear the worst and stress over it every second of the day. I was very paranoid (hell I still am)...and I ALWAYS overreacted because it never became a big deal. I'd tell her the truth. And I wouldn't hesitate. I read this entire thread and IMO telling the truth is the best option. Look, you're obviously an excellent student, a good kid, and someone who's very goal oriented and caring about his future. If you're honest about the situation with your teacher, there's no way she's going to lay the law down on you. In fact, she'll be impressed that you're man enough at your age to admit that you made a mistake....she'll appreciate that. Lying does nothing but dig your hole deeper. Don't be scared buddy, just tell her what happened, tell her your sorry and that it will never happen again. And you can move on.
I agree with everything else you said man. But that bold part is def not 100% true in all cases. I've seen many teachers go with the "I appreciate your honesty but...." response to that honesty. Coming clean about it may make you and your teacher feel good about it, but dont assume you still wont get punished because your honest now.
you're right, but I took in account the fact he said him and his teacher had a good relationship. If he was a constant trouble maker, I wouldn't have said it. Maybe she gives him a slap on the wrist, but I certainly wouldn't fear the worst like he is.
ok heres what you do alen. you have the meeting but tell her its to discuss your grades. if you feel like you are getting choked up at all, or can't lie anymore, just stand up, point at her, and say "DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED". when shes like what are you talking about yell out "I WANT THE TRUTH! DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED!". Then camly pick up your bag, say thanks for the talk, and walk out. You might have to see a shrink for a bit, but you know....
Thank you Rocky, I'm glad someone can relate to it. I will tell her the truth and hope that she forgives me. If she doesn't, there's nothing I can do other than face the punishment. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Thanks to everyone else who helped in this thread. My bad if I didn't choose your option, I just think that this is the right thing to do. Even though I may have not chosen your option, I do appreciate your input.
You are in U.s. History how is World History easier jkjk I am rocking that standard. Honors are for kids that dont have livejk
I may have confused World History with something else. Last year I took a History class, I thought it was World but I may be wrong?
That's the best thing to do Alen. Lying only makes things worse. You have to tell the first lie,then cover up with more. It's not worth it. Just tell the truth and you'll be better off in the long run. Good luck and let us know what happens.
i always showed up my history and government teachers. they didnt like me much, i couldve taught the class better than them.
wow, a 20 page thread for this ? lol. In high school, the worst the teacher is going to do is give you a 0 on the assignment. I have seen plenty of people get caught cheating and have not seen a single one of them get suspended or get something on their permanent record. If you are honestly this guilty about it, just tell the teacher, worst case you get a 0, best case you keep your grade and your teacher chews out the other kid.
Anyone that puts you in a position to where it jeopardizes everything you have worked hard for while he has not is NOT a good friend.
I have only read the first and last page of the thread so if I missed something in between fill me in. A lot of it for me would depend on how long I have known this person and how much I hang out with him. If you have known him for a while and hang out with him on a regular basis I don't say a word unless it is a test or a project he took and/or he has done it before. I would make sure to let him know if he does it again he will get an *** kicking but I wouldn't say a word or snitch.
Dude I was suspended from school before and I still got into a University college... I don't think you have anything to worry about when it comes to losing out on college. On a side note, if you're manning up and telling the truth, I'll give ya props for that. Not many would do that. I probably would have let it ride because school wasn't important to me because I could get always with not studying and all that jazz but still get a 3.5 GPA. Unfortunately I can't do that in college... it sucks...
Colleges wont hold it against you. And the odds of her pushing it far enough so it'd be on your permanent record so colleges would even know about are very slim. I'm honestly not even sure there is a way for them to find out about it. You'll probably get a zero on the assignment and that's it. Besides, even if you go to her begging for another chance there is the possibility she didnt notice and now you're confessing to something you could have gotten away with. Maybe she'll respect this and not punish you, but maybe not. I wouldnt tell her, and if she says anything beg for forgiveness then. Either way, I wouldnt give this guy my work to copy anymore. Oh, and if she approaches you and things turn bad, throw the guy under the bus and say he stole it without your knowledge. You can lie your way out of this lol. Besides, the guy who gave the work never gets in as much trouble as the loser who's free riding.
Nah... to me it just came easy, doesn't mean I'm smarter than anyone.. Just means that I can remember things better than some people. I can't do that anymore, I've tried.
