Peer pressure and the obligation to do well in college is understandable, however there is a fine line that shouldn’t be cross out of dignity and honor. It frustrates me to have people bragging about cheating on the SATs or final exams and getting high grades, while I study my night off just to receive an average grade. I am not intelligent, but I work my ass off to get to places. Schools enforced policies and rules to have  consequences and punishments for cheating, and yet students still take a risk as an act of desperation and the fear of failing. The difference of a public school and a college also plays a role in the case of cheating students, the change of responsibility, pressure, and money have altered their understandings and recognize the importances to do well in school. Students need to be straightened up, we the students need to stop taking short cuts, work, and study to our way to our future and leave the school proudly knowing we deserved the diplomas.
