I cheated on my midterm. I feel so fucking stupid and I’ve been dreading every day that I’ll get caught. It was online with webcam and lockdown and I don’t think I got away with it. It’s eating me up inside, if I have to withdraw from the course, (1/2)

wait and see if they reach out to you about it or your grade reflects it or something and then if you need to, medical withdrawal is always an option since you said you struggle with insomnia. hopefully you won’t make the same mistake again, although it seems like you’re feeling pretty remorseful before you even know if you’re caught. please try to focus on other things. i know it’s hard when you’re sitting with a mistake, but it’s genuinely just that. a mistake. you have more chances.

I’ll have to drop out cuz I’m on academic probation and can’t get any withdrawals. I had been awake for 24+ hours because of insomnia, had forgotten to put my phone away, and was too tempted. I’m such a failure, my parents paid so much for me to go here and I don’t know what I’d do if I let them down. Not to mention the community I built here. I haven’t been able to sleep because of the dread and guilt eating me up every day. Do I fess up? Or do I wait? This is killing me

You don’t sound remorseful you just sound scared of getting caught. Not sorry you cheated just sorry you didn’t get away with it. You suck.

Hi OP, don’t feel sad. Many do cheat and don’t get caught. The scam is with the teacher’s aid that grades the tests. Many professors are lazy and have an aid do it. This is where students and even Frats get access to the answer keys. What I am saying is people and institutions hide many things yet look like a million bucks on tv when it’s all fake.

Schools turn a blind eye to cheating and it isn’t fair. I am not saying cheating is fine but prolific cheaters rise to the top with awards when the schools can easily expose them. What I am saying judgment of the world often is pointed to people being singled out.
