Have you asked your parents more than the amount you need to pay for your tuition fees? What did you do with the money ? How did you spend it ?
I did it before when I was in college. I used the extra money to shop for new bags and shoes. Well, it was many years ago and my tuition fee was only Php550 pero exams.

hahahah I did that once too. but not for the boys . Still for the shopping. Well, that time cellphone was still not a fad, so if it was , I might have spent it there.

I never did such a thing... i was i half scholar for 3 years and full scholar during my final year in college... and my parents are fully aware of that... during that time... we were having financial difficulties... and cheating them of my tuition i such a bad thing to do...
But during the final year... we were able to recover a little... and they gave me the equivalent of my whole tuition... so that i can use it for my own...

wow you guys are all well-behaved students. I was also a half-scholar then became full scholar in my last year, and nobody didnt know that not until I was awarded when I graduated. I had a cerficate that says I got the scholarship.
Well my family knew I guess, they were actually not surprised when they saw new bags and shoes. Maybe they know as a collge student I need those.

No, I have never done that when I was in college. It's because I am used to showing them the receipts after payment. My sister attended the same school so they practically knew how much I should pay for my tuition. Although they did not ask for the receipts, I still showed them because I wanted them to trust me. And I think they gave me enough allowance for school that time so I need not to cheat from them. I am not saying that I was a totally goody good girl then, I was just raised like that.

in terms of me ,i have never got an intention to deceive my parents in order to meet my upwelling demands.
well.what to say, man and boy ,i have been observing my parents struggling for better living conditions .
at early age i learnt from a lot from tough life,consequently, i made a decision that i wouldn't have leave any additional burden on my parents 'backs.
believe it or not,i guess those kids brought up in poor families are more considerate to others.that 's what i wanna convey mostly.

I never cheated my parents by spending tuition fees.If i need any money i can directly ask them and they will fullfill all my needs.I think it is not a good habit to cheat our parents.It is like cheating God.
