10 Possible Consequences of Cheating at School
- You'll will probably get caught, causing the following less than desirable events to possibly occur:
- You will be asked to leave school and not come back -- ever.
- You will fail the class that you needed in order to graduate, thus -- making certain -- that you will not graduate, or you'll be put on probation and have to deal with its associated negative connotations.
- Your instructor will think less of you and may possibly see you as a dishonest and conniving human being not worth paying particular attention to when it comes to grading time.
- The department chair will take a good look at your records and then decide to have a long and probing discussion with you regarding your understanding of academic honesty and ethics.
- Your advisor will get severe headaches when you approach his or her office for a consultation.
- Your parents will wonder where they went wrong in raising you and will also get severe headaches when you explain your latest academic misadventures to them.
- Your friends will wonder why you lost your brains and how long they've been gone.
- Your significant other will realize that you aren't worthy of their time and attention and, then, ask you to get counseling for your evident severe personal character defects.
- You'll lose your valuable sleep at night, racked with a guilty conscience, tossing and turning, knowing that you have compromised your usually high levels of ethics and uncompromising moral standards -- also, you'll be aware that somebody, sometime, somewhere, will eventually find out.
