Cheating happens when you're dishonest and give yourself an unfair advantage and it's not good!
Talking Points:
- Cheating happens at school. You might look on your friend’s test to get the right answers but that’s cheating! It’s more important to be an honest person than to get a good grade.
- Cheating happens in a game. You might lie so you can stay in the game but that’s cheating. It’s way more fun to play games when everyone plays by the rules and doesn’t cheat.
- If you cheat then people can’t trust you. If you cheat once, you might cheat again. So think before you cheat and choose to play by the rules every time!
