At school， besides cheating on a test， a kid might cheat in other ways. They might steal someone else’s idea for a science project， or copy a book report from the Internet and hand it in as if it’s his or her work.
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat， it’s not fair to other people， like the kids who study for the test or who are the true winners of a game.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even though there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating， cheating isn’t a good idea.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test need to talk with the teacher or another grown-up. They can find some ways to help solve this problem. Talking about the problem and working it out will make him or her feel better than cheating.
Kids who cheat may feel worried about getting caught. Whether they are caught or not， these kids may feel guilty or embarrassed. Even if they feel fine or don’t get caught， that doesn’t mean it’s OK.
There’s an old saying that cheaters never win and winners never cheat. This may sound difficult to understand， because sometimes it seems like cheaters do win--- at least for the moment. However， sooner or later， they’ll pay the price. It’s just a matter of time only. And kids who don’t cheat are true winners because， when they win， they do it honestly.
