I cheated my way through most of high school.
That's a terrible thing to do! Why did you cheat your way through high school?
I know other students have cheated and I wanted to do the same.
I know you wanted to have an easy path through high school but cheating is wrong. Just because others have cheated doesn't mean you should have. Getting an education in an honest way is the only way to learn and plan for your future career.
It's really not that important what you do in high school. Everyone cheats so why can't I?
It won't help you learn and be more prepared for the future if you cheat. It also won't help you be ready for the challenges of life.
