bad example
here is the background knowledge you need to know. I have a lil bro . I am in 11grade. he is in 9th. I am the smart one. top of the class, honour roll and all sorts of crap. My lil bro is on the point of dropping out. for midsemester he got like 5 Fs (out of 10). My mom depends on me to ve the good example to him.
OK
now, today after class, I was on the bench outside od my class. My friend showed me a copy of the Chemistry test we are supposed to get tomorrow. So all of us on the bench (my freinds only) start to work it out and copy the answers for ourselves. NOW, my lil bro just comes out of nowhere and sees me copying down the answers. He was in a hurry and did not say anything but I think he saw me. what to do ?
and if he asks me when he gets home, what should I say?
i don't want him to think copying is the way to go.

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
well if he asks, then just say that you were copying down a study guide or something....and that your just studying the answers :-P
hehe.....my advice for this kinda stuff sux, i'm more into relationship crap, but i thought i'd give it a try
hope i helped!

Oh dear!
If I were in your situation the first thing I would do would be to speak to my chemistry teacher.
I wouldn't say who showed you the paper just that you know that there is a copy of the paper going round and everyone has seen it.
I would then explain to your Mom what has happened. She will be proud of you that you did not cheat and it will also mean that your little brother does not have the opportunity to drop you in the sh!t or blackmail you so he doesn't tell.
Your teacher will treat it in the strictest of confidence and won't tell you friend, and he/she will probably respect you for being honest and telling the truth too.
I learnt when I was in school that there is absolutley NO point in cheating, it won't get you anywhere!
Take care and good luck!

you are in a touch situation. sit your brother down and talk to him about school and how important it is. try to tell him about how if he wants a good job he should really work hard at school, explain that not everything about school is going to perfect, like when he saw you coppying. you dont have to always be perfect, but you should try your hardest. if he doesn't respond thankful to your statement and/or accuses you of cheating then try to find out if there is something (such as problems with friends or bullying) that is hurting his self esteem to do good in school. good luck!

you really need to talk to your brother. sit him down and tell him if not to cheat (if he saw you) and if you want you could also offer to help him with his work, that way if he trys hard enough he could get to average level. and i know it isnt realy any of my bussiness, but your honors! why are you cheating?!?! you earned that spot dont throw it away!(umm sry i sounded a little too much like a parent..)

hi! Just be like. ____ I wasnt copying I was helping my friends with their work. But don't ever copy cause you will be in 9th grade till your 30 and mom will kill you! Hope that works cause I don't even have a brother or sister. Just a Big sis.

You need to sit your brother down together, after school when you are home. I'm in a similar situation (I get really good grades on the honor roll, and my sister who's 2 years younger than me is an average student.) My parents want me to be a good example to her. It's great that you're trying to look out for your brother, but you have to figure out a solution that won't get you in trouble either. Talk to your brother. Ask him what he saw and what he thinks you were doing. If you're lucky, he hardly saw anything, and you won't have to mention it. If he knows what you were doing, tell him honestly how you feel. Tell him that cheating is wrong, and you would be disappointed if you ever found him cheating. Tell him the reason that you did it, and that you know it was wrong, and don't do it often. Make it like half-lecture, half-heart-to-heart. Be firm but compassonate. Good luck! :)

My friend, you are in luck. I have my coffee and a cigarette and therefore am ready to answer your question. Tell him it was a study guide or something. If he was in such a hurry, he probably didn't register it. Now, for the future, don't cheat and this wont happen.

DENY DENY DENY!!!!! If he finds out, say "I WASN'T CHEATING, I WAS COPYING THE NOTES FROM MY FRIENDS BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE OR I WAS COPYING THE VOCABULARY NOTES"! To make sure that a teacher doesn't think your cheating, get a few answers WRONG! Pretty easy :)
