<p>I was caught cheating. I know. I know. It was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life so far. I will face my punishment, but I am worried about the National Honor Society. Nobody said that I will be removed from it, but I read in the school planner that I CAN be removed if I violate the honor code. Does this mean I will be kicked out? Is this really bad?</p>
<p>Two people in my school were kicked out last year for sharing info on an English reduction. Which is probably a bit less severe than what you did. Many others were kicked out for getting suspended. So you may get kicked out. But NHS sucks anyway so don't worry.</p>
<p>I'd be more concerned about having a record of your cheating on a school report/teacher recommendation than staying in NHS...</p>
<p>Should I report to NHS immediately and tell them what I did? Or, should I wait until my teachers fill out the survey that ask them whether or not I complete my grade and character requirements?</p>
<p>I was told that there will be no record of my cheating on my school report. I already got the teacher recommendations before I cheated, and these teachers were not the one who caught me.</p>
<p>I got suspended but all that I got was a warning. I think I might quit anyway. Everybody does the community service for the wrong reasons.</p>
<p>"I CAN be removed"- does it mean that I WILL or MIGHT get kicked out? My question isn't answered: Should I tell NHS right away, or wait until my teacher say something?</p>
<p>My letter from NHS was like "You have violated code BLABLABLA" I don't think it mentioned any punishment, although I wouldn't remember... I balled it up and threw it away in front of the president :p</p>
<p>Don't do anything. Maybe your teacher won't say anything. But, if he does, then confess and tell that you learned from your mistake and won't repeat it blahblahblah.</p>
<p>whos to know if it was an isolated incident?</p>
<p>"It was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life so far."</p>
<p>What was the biggest mistake? Cheating, or getting caught?</p>
<p>Kids who cheat ruin it for us honest ones.</p>
<p>Cheating, of course. I saw so many people, especially my friends, cheating. They plagazerized or forged their parents' signature without getting caught. I tried it, just one time. I got caught. This made me really angry. When my friends were confronted, they lied and ran away with it. Because I couldn't help myself but being so honest, I immediately admitted when my teacher confronted me. I know, I'm stupid, but I can't stand lying.</p>
<p>One more question: Should I check the box that I have violated the honor code on the college application? My disciplinary officer said that he won't say anything and that nobody will make sure I said yes. But, I am scared that if colleges find out, they will take away my acceptance. What should I do? Argh, this situation sucks!</p>
<p>theres a box for honor code violation? What college are you going to, Boy Scout University? I doubt many colleges have time to look into every application, but if your guidance counselor mentions it then so should you.</p>
<p>I dunno. But if you don't, I would be surprised. I am pretty sure that I got kicked out just for not selling candy. I know at my school, you'd be gone... but I don't know how it works at yours.</p>
<p>On your application you are expected to be 100% honest. So duh, you have to say that you violated the honor code. This is so cut and dry to me, I don't even know why you seem to think it's an issue up for debate...</p>
