                                                   Turning on to Cheating Street

   Kids, I will come around and check your homework in about five minutes. Hey, hey Justin did you do last nights homework? Yea bro why, you need it or something? Yea, can I see it please? Yea here you go. Thanks. This is a conversation of students cheating. As the teacher walks around the room the boy Demar gets his homework done and gives its back to Justin before the teacher knows it. Some people wonder why do students cheat. What are the negative effects? What are the positive effects if there are any? What are the effects of the negative effects? Well, in this paper we will get to answer these questions.

                                                     Riding Down Cheating Street

   What could possibly cause students to cheat? Some reasons that could cause students to cheat could be that they don't understand the work and are to scared and embarrassed to ask because they may be made out as dumb and/or made fun of. Another reason might be that the student is lazy. A lot of students cheat because of the pressure. The pressure could be from their parents pressuring to do well in school and the student can't fully meet their parents expectations and they know someone ho can so they cheat to make their parents happy.

                                    Road of Success turn right, Road of Failure turn left

    Cheating will help you get a good grade, but it will NOT help you get a good understanding of the work. When you cheat you don't think of what will happen down the road, but a lot could happen, you could turn left on to the road of failure which is a very bumpy road and you can blow a tire and be stranded without any help. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that cheating will get you no where but somewhere without any help. For example, You can make it into college but when you get there you really wouldn't understand the work because you copied off someone else's instead of actually trying to understand it, so you don't know how to do the work. If you don't know how to do the work it will be very hard on you (especially because you're in college), and you could fail the class, if you fail majority of your classes you could be kicked out of college or you can even make the decision to drop out. When you make a u-turn and see how you turned left down the road of failure instead or turning right down the road of success, you think to yourself that you never thought that all of this could happen to you.

                                                        Dead End Ahead NO U-Turns Allowed

     If you hit a dead end and you can't turn back to correct what you have done wrong then you are in for a very bumpy bumpy ride. If you drop out of college or get kicked out of college either way it goes life will not be the best for you. Due to your actions you have no where to go no one to turn to and no way you could go back and   make it all right in time. Since you can't correct what you did you are stuck working at McDonalds flipping burgers, frying fries, and saying "order 47 is ready, order 47 is ready". Since you work at a place where you don't get paid much you're stuck living at a place that's not much. You always dreamed of living in a big house with a husband/wife and some kids, but what man/woman wants a man/woman who can't do anything with their life. So you can end up working at job that has something to do with bagging bags or cooking fast food, which is really nothing, so at the end of the day it really makes you and your life a big nothing.

                                                      Before You Get On The Road

   What, I'm trying to really explain and make clear to you is that if you cheat you might be succeeding at the moment, but when you actually start traveling down the road you are going to be stuck  at a dead end. Once you hit this dead end you can't move through it and you can't turn around. So, before you ride down cheating street and turn on to the road of failure just remember this, cheating gets you NOWHERE, but doing your work on your own gets you SOMEWHERE.
