When hearing about cheating, you may think it is bad and unfair. Cheating is generally considered not the correct thing to do and can have serious consequences, such as loss of trust and reputation damage. Cheating can also have a negative impact on the person who could cheat. Even if they have short-term gains, they may experience guilt shame, or anxiety I know many could experience a feeling of being an unkind or ruthless individual. Additionally, cheating can lower self-esteem, confidence, and ability to learn and develop essential skills. While it may be tempting to cheat to achieve a wanted goal, it is good to consider the consequences of your actions. It is often better to work hard and achieve success through honesty, even if it takes longer and requires more effort. It is up to each individual to determine their own choice and to decide what they believe is right or wrong, sometimes cheating could ruin your life forever, and sometimes it can save it. It is crucial to treat honesty as important, especially when you feel like you can’t do it. In emergencies, it is essential to follow protocols and seek help from your tutor/teacher. Cheating is generally not a viable option and sometimes makes the situation worse. So my honest opinion would be no.
