We are taught different things every day. We have the choice of either listening or not. Something's that students do while in high school is just try and get by the best they can. If that means cheating then they are willing to do anything to get that grade. Especially if those students have the pressure of AP classes and other things going on outside of school. Some students have a plan for themselves but others are lost on what they want to do after high school. Some people after they graduate still don't know what they want to do for the rest of there lives. As high school seniors were so indecisive of everything. If it's what college we want to go to or simply what to wear in the morning. After high school you still have choices to make. All of theses choices are either going to help you or not.
