THE DANGERS OF CHEATING

Cheating seems to have become a habit for some students, from elementary school

students to university students. How to cheat is increasingly diverse and sophisticated. In ancient

times, cheats were only written on small paper or scribbled on the table. Now the cheat is simply

sent via sms. Not only daily tests, semester and even national exams are not free from cheating.

Even worse, at the student level, the thesis that is made is the result of cheating, even though

cheating has a bad impact on the perpetrator. Some of these bad effects are felt immediately, but

there are also impacts that are long-term in nature.

Cheating has bad effects including:

1. Lazy to study. People who like to cheat will not have high motivation to learn. They are

actually increasingly lazy to study and rely on cheats when facing exams. The result is very

clear, students like this might get good grades but definitely cannot master the knowledge they

should know.

2. Ordinary lies. Copying requires lies to succeed in its mission. People who usually cheat will

also lie. They become people who are accustomed to being dishonest with themselves and others.

Of course, this lying habit will be very dangerous because they can become people whose words

and deeds are not trusted.

3. Justify all means. Anything will be done by people who used to cheat. They will look for all

kinds of ways to be able to cheat successfully. They will do fine and rough ways. The danger of

justifying all these means can become a habit.

4. Contagious. There are those who liken cheating to a disease that can be transmitted to

everyone. If you saw that his classmates could cheat, his left and right neighbors would follow.

This bad habit is contagious and spreads throughout the class. It can even be transmitted to other

classes.

5. Not confident. Cheating people are not confident. The more often he cheats, the less confident

he will feel that he can do it himself. Everyone actually has the ability to receive lessons.

Unfortunately, some people are lazy to use their abilities.

The bad effects of cheating are bigger than that. Cheating behavior with all its bad effects

can be come a habit outside of school or campus. They will become people who are lazy, like to

lie, justify all means, not confident and become a bad example for their friends. Let us stop the

habit of cheating from now on, starting with ourselves. Better to get a good grade on your own

study than to get a grade.
