I had an English exam and the guy sitting next to me kept trying to get me to help him cheta
normally I might give someone a small hint but the invigilator today was extremely strict, constantly walking around and watching everyone closely Two students literally got written up for cheating during the exam so it was clearly they weren’t playing
because of that I ignored him and didn’t help at all after the exam he seemed annoyed and acted like I was selfish and kept insulting me "you are a fa- etc"
I feel a bit bad because he was clearly struggling, but I also didn’t want to risk getting caught and getting in trouble myself since you get a whole deal a whole cheating case and need to prove you are not cheating and can repeat the year
I don’t think I am the a-hole in thie situation but wanted to share my story
AITA?
definitely not the asshole!!😭😭😭 man you put yourself first which you should do especially during an exam!!! god knows id do the exact same thing. You weren’t willing to risk it which is the most normal thing to do especially with a strict in vigilant or around so no!! not the asshole. he’s the petty one who didn’t properly revise for english
nta its not your fault he didnt learn
*normally I might give someone a small hint*
Don’t. Never help anyone cheat. It’s unethical, it’s foolish on your part because you could suffer serious consequences, and it’s unhelpful to them in the long run. If they need to master this subject, either for their career or because further study builds upon it, they’ll come a cropper one day. And if they DON’T need to master this subject, then why are they enrolled it it?
Having said that, your story doesn’t hang together.
You wrote:
*after the exam he* ***seemed*** *annoyed*
You think he only SEEMED annoyed? But you go on to say:
*and acted like I was selfish and kept insulting me “you are a fa- etc”*
That sounds pretty annoyed to me. No “seemed” about it.
But in your judgment bot reply, you wrote:
*Because he was crying heavily and sad*
Say what? That’s the first we’ve heard of “crying heavily”. Why didn’t you mention such a dramatic reaction in your post?
In short, “SEEMED annoyed”, “kept insulting me”, and “crying heavily and sad” don’t fit together.
So, INFO. You want to have another try at turning this into a coherent story?
I mean that may be why he was in the english exam in the first place? 😂
You already know the answer. Don’t encourage this behaviour, you have nothing to gain and everything to lose? Dont be an AH to yourself.
Defintely 👍
Majorly NTA! That guy suuuuucks.
Is this a serious question? Distance yourself as much as possible from this loser. People like this guy will pull you down in life if you let them. Learn now that your integrity and honesty are the most important assets you have. Don’t demean yourself with unserious questions like this.
I feel that you already know the answer to this.
Not only would I absolutely NOT help someone trying to cheat, if they came and gave me grief for it I might actually go and make trouble for them. Never help a cheater.

The exams are there to determine what you know, not what a friend can tell you!
ESH h for wanting to cheat, you for only not helping him cheat because the proctor is “too strict” and then coming here to ask.
“Wtf, you’re trying to shame me for NOT CHEATING?”
