Questions on Cheating??? Story included.?

Hi I'm a bit concerned on cheating since my history teacher thinks I was cheating. In class we usually take notes and after we're done with notes we go and do this worksheet that is like fill in the answers and you read. So my friend thinks it would be good to split the work in half and do our own work(I do 8 questions and he does 8 questions.) any ways the only reason we did this is that we had 10 mins of class(I didn't agree with this but I would just so I can get my work finished). While we did the work my friend starts to ask me where did Q9 start since we split it (I think the teacher was watching us right there). So we kept on working but I barely finished my half when the bell rang so I turned in what I had WITHOUT copying my friend. Then right when I turned it in my teacher told me if I catch you one more time cheating I will write you up and give you a zero on your assignment. Well, I didn't really get mad at him since I was thinking about it.

Ugh...I hate this class we barely have time to do any of our work. That's the only reason my friends needs my help most of the time.

---

I would like to know what was the reason why he thought I was cheating? Was it cause i gave my friend an answer.

Is it considered cheating if I help a friend figure out where this one question is to find this other? ( I know it's confusing)

how an I going to let my friend know that I can't help him any more, so I don't get written up?

Should I talk to my teacher and get everything straightend out?

---

PS

this was the only time I have asked a friend to split the work. I don't ever cheat. I am an A/B student (Im using my iPod no Q). I'm ranked 7 smartest sophmore at school, who wouldn't ask for my help? I usually get my work done. This was a one time thing. I'm trying to avoid trouble the best I can, even if I go to the most GHETTOEST school in the district!

Im actually scared cause the last time I ever was written up was when I was in 3rd grade. I changed my ways since then

    If you are working together with the teacher's permission, than it is not cheating. If you split answers than copy each other's work, then yes you are cheating. When I was in high school we used to work together to find the answers. We would split the answers, then continue working on the one's we weren't given. We would then compare answers and ask each other where they found their answer or how they reached that assumption. Teacher would be okay with it since we were working as a group since we were questioning the answers given.

    Seeing that it bothered your teacher, just work on it by yourself. Focus on studying more for this class than those that come naturally to you. You will find that gradually you will get better and the material will not seem that hard.

    Good luck!

    If you do not ought to do something proper now .. then do not. I heard a speaker the opposite day say .. "there's NO greener grass at the different facet of the fence". I do disagree with that slightly with men and women who're in abusive marriages. However ... for men and women who get stuck-up in heated ardour - I suppose some thing might ring actual. This woman that you've got had the affair with . .. appear quite near at her. I recognise she is mainly a well woman - however her marriage could also be having disorders - which might be telling you of matters that you might be going to, for those who pass to her. Another attention is - do you suppose you might take-away the happines & lives of such a lot of different men and women - and be pleased your self? YOU , might ought to are living with you .. and it feels like you might have a aware, and a exact taking care of different men and women. This different lady has been in need of you for awhile - you recognize that now ... so ! ,, for those who obtained her - do you suppose she would do the identical factor to an extra guy while your dating might emerge as stale? .. and all people ultimately reviews stale. Passion .. and the shortage-of .. may also be very strong - and it could possibly create uncontrollable wish which will mimick love. The warmth of ardour leaves, and while it leaves - it could possibly depart a bloodless empy affair. Give this hindrance, and your self .. TIME. If this woman thinks she will be able to get you .. and also you stall for time .. she might do not forget a quicker solution to make it occur. Some men and women confess their dishonest to their mate to just relieve their possess aware .. while the one factor it does is to break their mate's lifestyles. I am a Christian .. and as a Christian .. we all know the proper factor to do. No marriage is best. That is seeing that no individual is best - and not anything in this earth is best. We all are given "checks" .. and temptations. If we do not move our checks . I regularly suppose that it may be provide over .. we're fortunate if we get the possibility to take it over. Every marriage has it is possess character disorders .. each and every distinct from it is possess. Some disorders are worse than others .. even may also be terrible. You are stressed righ now .. so that you must do not anything. For a well lengthy even as - steer clear of the opposite lady. For per week, do not permit your self to suppose or stay in this. Then .. after per week - reconsider this. Just recognise that the whole lot isn't for your manage. The different lady might inform men and women - and it might get unfold. The different lady might reason disorders - if she desired to. I recognise you might have sexual matters to your marriage - however do not permit sexual needs break your lifestyles. When considering all of this .. do not allow you to intercourse ideas rule you - or make your choices headquartered in this. You have tons of offerings to make. The offerings you're making will check your long run, and the way forward for such a lot of different men and women.
