Well today when I was giving an exam, I find out that I know the answers of not more than the questions that are required for passing. My friend invited me to cheat,but I declined. My test went very bad and I am hardly passing. I am feeling ashamed of myself for not accepting my friends proposal. I am a very reputated boy in school and I don't think that my teacher expected this from me. Have I done the right thing? I am in a depression. Somebody please help me out.

Hi,ajrox1810,you did the right thing. Your are so brave to reject such cheating thing even it was proposed from your friend. You will keep your great reputation in school.Don't worry about the result of exam. Nobody can always have good points. I mean we are human beings. Sometimes we pay much attention to other things,like games,TV,not study. It doesn't matter. From now on,study hard and you will not get depressed.

You did the right thing. It's good that you didn't cheat, you shouldn't feel ashamed. If you did cheat then you should feel ashamed. But you didn't. Cheating is not the answer. Don't feel bad, things will get better. I recently did reallyyy bad on a test...I failed it. But I'm happy that I did not cheat. Just try to study harder and do better on your next test. Cheer up! :)

first, its a good thing that you refuse your friend's offer and decided not to cheat. it just shows that you can resist that kind of temptation. hurrah for you. ^__^ second, its okay to fail sometimes. its not always that we'll be on top. when i was in college i was also not used with failing exams. i always pass, may it be a quiz or an exam. but one day, even after studying for days and weeks, i failed our chemistry exam. i was so depressed i started crying in my room. but i realized its not the end of everything. i did my best and i guess i just have to do better the next time. expectations from people are normal, but you should show them that you're a human too, not perfect and are prone to commit mistake. you are not perfect and you cannot please everybody. so just forget about it, try harder the next time. ^__^

Hey boy, its not the end of the world. Failures are stepping stones to success. You did right and God Bless you. The world would be a better place with honest people like you. Keep your head up even if you fail, for you have done what is right. Its an exam and another one will soon come. Do well in that to make up for this one. Good Luck.

Hello there. You are a very honest boy and you should be proud of it. I am sure your parents and God are proud of your action too. It's only an exam. One failure does not mean eternal failure. You still have many exams in your life coming up. You should reflect on why you did not do well this time round and pull yourself together to work harder next time. All the best and God bless you. =D

Let me tell you something. When you declined your friends offer to cheat, you just did one thing. You did not sell your real character out for your reputation. You know what that is called? Thats called integrity, thats called courage. That proves that you are a man who follows the great principles in life and you are just going to climb heights with such a great character. Not many can control themselves from cheating when they think about the consequences. But you could do it. You are a strong man. Hats off to you
