First of all we must know that we are all able to do our homework by ourselves because we are intelligent people.

When we are cheating we lie to our classmates, our teachers, parents and even ourselves.

Our teachers do not deserve to be deceived; they believe in the students, in their abilities or capacities, so we have to prove them that we can do any homework they want.

Parents of people who cheat are very proud of their children, but they don’t really know what their children are doing. We have to be grateful with our parents. Most of the times, they have made a big effort to get us to be in the best schools or universities. They have educated us in order to be good students, professionals, or more important, good people.

When somebody cheats, he or she is not respecting the classmates, who have made a big effort to do their homework.

When we cheat or copy other woks we also lie to people who have made that work previously. Their works deserve to be read but not cheated. I am sure they have made a big effort and worked very hard. And it is not fair that other people copy their ideas or thoughts. We all can think, so we can do any homework by ourselves. For that reason it is so important to know that it is not fair to imitate ideas of someone else and we must respect them.

When we have to do a homework we should read many books or to look for the best information. It takes a lot time and is not a very entertaining thing to do for people who do not like reading or studying.

We know that there are some people who learn faster or slower than others, so if we learn slower we should try more than those people who learn faster, but it does not mean that we have to cheat, on the contrary, we should work harder.

There are a lot of resources or means to do our homework. When can surf the internet, which is one of the most powerful weapons to study or to work. But students just copy and paste the information requested.

When can also read books or magazines and then select the best information. To read is helpful for us because we can think and process the information read. On the other hand, people who just copy and paste won’t have that ability.

There is a form to quote something which is interesting for us. We must write the idea in inverted commas or quotation marks, and then we must write the name of the book selected and the name of the person who has written the idea. This is a very good and legal way to include interesting ideas.


Many people can tell us about cheating. They can talk all the time about that in order to convince us not to do it. But the only person who can convince us really is ourselves.
