An essay

 The first reason why students cheat on their tests and exams is the pressure to get into a high-ranked college or university. Nowadays the society believes that a good, well-educated person may only be a person who graduated the higher education institution. This attidute of society may influence students' parents as well, because of it the pressure might appear not only from the whole society, but also from the closest people - family. Not to pay attention tp such pressure is really difficult, so that is why a lot of students choose cheating.

 Another reason of students' cheating is trying to avoid long hours of studying. There are a lot of young people who have other interesting and important activities, for example volunteering, arts or sports, so they try to save time for these things on a count of learning. On the other hand there are such students who are just lazy and prefer  spending their time not learning, but doing lots of silly and totally unimportant things such as watching TV or playing computer games. Because of other activities and their laziness students might cheat on their exams or tests.


 Furthermore, the students' cheating may be caused by being just unhonest. In our society people do not care much about the moral virtues, they prefer cheating in every situation in their lives, because in this unhonest way people can easier get or achieve what they want without making efforts. This is why more and more students start to cheat.


To sum up, there are three main reasons why students choose cheating. A wish to get into a famous college or university on which depends an attidute of society, saving time on a count of studying or just a lack of self-discipline and the moral virtues which are very unvaluabled these days make the students choose that dirty and unhonest way to pass their exams and tests.
