<p>So this girl in my grade has really started to bug me. Lets call her Jill. Jill is in almost all honors classes, like me. She is also in my lunch period. I sit with a lot of people who are also in honors(not geeks though...we're kinda sporty lol). Jill doesn't even sit at my table. Every time we have homework for our science class, Jill always copies this one girls homework(lets call her sweety). Sweety is reallllly nice, and doesn't really say no to much. Jill is taking advantage of sweety, even though Jill isn't even friends with her. Also, Jill always asks everyone for their hw for another honors class, and gets angry if we don't give it to her; she expects it. I sit next to her in that class, and every time we have a test/quiz, she cheats. Jill texts chacha(a service that you text a question and it texts you the answer), puts on her glasses and looks at other people's paper, and bluntly asks you for the answers. Jill is a smart girl, but she never does her work. EVER.
Jill also steals from stores so that she looks cool. She makes up different stories for different people. We have a common good friend, and whenever I tell jill that I am going to make plans with her, Jill hijaks the plans and then cuts me out of them.
So what should I do? I am tired of Jill cheating all the time. She tries to copy my stuff and gets mad if I won't give it to her.</p>
<p>Lol she needs to cheat for HONORS classes? Yeah, she’s really not that smart.</p>
<p>Tell “Sweety” (ie, maybe you) to say no to Jill. Unfortunately, both are breaking the rules and both could face harsh repercussions (not just Jill).</p>
<p>Let her get mad if she can’t copy, it’s not justified. Cover your paper well. If she doesn’t stop cheating and stealing, she’ll have to face consequences sooner or later.</p>
<p>She doesn’t need to…she just got SO LAZY, and she is taking advantage of the nicest person I know :(. Oh, and she thinks that she is going to get into an ivy league school. She got ****ed at me when even mentioned that she probably won’t get in. Every single test we have I hear her clicking and clacking on her phone. She cheats every single day!</p>
<p>really? p i s s gets blocked?</p>
<p>Either approach her or be a tattle tale. It’s that simple.</p>
<p>What would you do in the situation, AUGirl?</p>
<p>
How oblivious are your teachers??</p>
<p>Call her out on it, otherwise you’ll wish you did later on.</p>
<p>Call her out.</p>
<p>I think he doesn’t look as hard because we are in an honors class, and expects a certain ethical code. Plus, we sit in the back of the room, and she is usually sneaky about it. Today she put her bag on the desk, and had her phone in the front of it. I finished my test before her, and watched her for a minute. She would text, play with her hair for a little while, look back at her phone, then write down an answer. The test was pretty hard, the vocab was difficult(history class), but with her phone, she could have gotten a GREAT grade while everyone else studied for a long time!</p>
<p>BillyMc, “Sweety” isn’t me, but she is a good friend of mine. She is extremely kind and isn’t good at saying no.</p>
<p>And I DON’T let her look at my tests, I cover them well. I have tried to confront her, but she just blows it off and says it’s not true, or that everyone does it.</p>
<p>I suppose you really shouldn’t break school rules, laws, or resort to physical violence, but I kind of feel like a fistfight would solve this problem.</p>
<p>haha i don’t think that would help!</p>
<p>
She has to, or she could get in a lot of trouble, too.</p>
<p>
If this is bothering everyone else and she’s being bad about it, drop a note on a teacher’s desk saying “Watch Jill during the test… Make her take off sunglasses and listen for her phone.” If she’s instead caught at lunch, your friend would be implicated as well.</p>
<p>Confront Jill, shame her, and try to get her to change. That’s what I would do, but I understand you might not be comfortable with that. Are you?</p>
<p>If Jill doesn’t change, then let the teacher know. If Jill finds out it was you who tattled, what’s the worst she can do to you, right?</p>
<p>EDIT: I see you said you tried to confront her. Maybe tell her you’ll go to the teacher, but would give her a chance first? If not, then go to the teachers, even send them anonymous messages.</p>
<p>I would feel REALLY BAD if I turned Jill in. With all the stuff she cheats on…she would be in serious trouble. During lunch, the monitors don’t do anything, ever.</p>
<p>I know of people who cheat like that. I just swallow my anger, ignore their b.s. and go on with my life. What happens when Jill can’t cheat her way out of something or gets apprehended for stealing? Ehh,let it bite her in the a** later.</p>
<p>Get a cell phone jammer.</p>
<p>
Sit with your friend “Sweety” at lunch and tell Jill to back off, then. And if Jill is caught cheating on one test, it doesn’t mean she’ll be punished for all past unproven incidents, just that one. Teachers generally warn a student, write them up, make them retake, or give them an F on the test (or some combination thereof). But if it would make you feel bad, don’t do it. Just protect your friend.</p>

Some teachers in my school have these, despite state laws against it.</p>
