The Cheat - "Should I tell"

Hello Team,

Sarah and Katie are unsure if they should tell Robs parents about cheating on the exam.  Katie is willing to tell but Sarah comments it's not their problems.

What should they do?

What would you do?

  1. i agree with sarah its not there problem because if rob wanted to tell his parents he would have went home.in addition katie wouldn't want rob to be mad at her for telling his parents his parents about him cheating.

  2. I think they shouldn't tell because since they are friends, I think that they should first find Rob and ask him what is her planning to do, tell his parents or run away for good?

    I would tell because knowing Rob, since he did run away, and that he can do something more dangerous. If you didn't tell his parents they would not be looking for him, and if they don't look for him, then he might do something stupid.

  3. i think that they shouldn't tell on rob because its not their problem and telling on him would b more like snitching on him and getting him into trouble but at the same time i think that they should tell on him so, his parents can make him realize that what he did was wrong and that he should never do sucha thing ever again.

  4. They should totally like tell Rob's like parents and all, I mean thats what like i would do like... I think its best that they tell rob's parents just because of what i want to happen next in the book. I want rob to be found and told that he shouldnt run away when hes afraid, he should learn to face his fears. If this were a real situation, katie and sarah should do the responsible thing to inform rob's parents and maybe his parents will inform the police and this will create a "search party."

  5. I think that Sarah and Katie should not tell Rob's parents about Rob cheating. I say this because..first of all, Rob was not dead, so they were wrong, also if they do tell Rob's parents that he cheated then Rob hiding and avoiding his parents will be useless.
    Since they both think he's dead they should investigate more on that like ask his friends etc.
    I would start getting, finding more clues to be sure he's dead because it would be bad saying someone especially your friend is dead and then see him alive and fine the next day. You would feel guilty also dumb.

  6. @tehreem i agree with u how if katie tells on rob it would be like snitching.instead i think katie should support him.

    ReplyDelete
  7. i think they should not. its not their problem and it might be a bad idea too. if they tell his dad, what if Rob comes home the next day? then his dad would be alot more angry about him cheating AND running away.if rob comes home without them knowing, they wont be as angry. they might even feel sorry for him. if they tell his dad, i think he would rage even more. cheating is a bad thing, but if somebody ran away after getting caught because of the consequences,thats even worse.Also it sort of isnt their problem, but robs mom brought them in, so it kind of is.

  8. i think they should tell robs parents beacuse they must wonder why would rob do such a thing, they have must of not known that rob cheated on his test and now he is to embrassed and scared to face them. Katie should tell robs parents because they much closer than sarah is to rob. sarah right its none of there problems but its a life and death situation.

  9. 3 people thus far, says its not THEIR problem.

  10. is information crucial to knowledge and understanding?

    ReplyDelete
  11. i think that Sarah and Katie should explain what is the problem they should tell because the parents are dead worry about why all of the sudden their child just ran away so that is why they should tell them and then they can start a search.

    if i was in the decision to tell rob's parents what happened i would tell his parents because right now rob is almost dead with hunger so they should tell the parents for him because then they can have a better idea of what has happened and then they can have some more clues.

  12. @ sana what do u mean by supporting him?

    ReplyDelete
  13. @sana
    why do you think its not their problem? robs mom got them into this

    ReplyDelete
  14. I don't think they should tell because as Sarah said its not their problem and if Rob wanted to tell wouldnt he already tell?Also
    Sarah saw how sacred and nervous he was about what his dad would do to him.Also they dont even know offically if Rob's dead.
    I wouldnt tell because i would think of what the person (whoever in Robs position) would think of if i told.Also if im not sure if hes dead or just gone.Also i would find that conversatin really akward with Robs parents.

    ReplyDelete
  15. When It Comes To Him being missing i think they should tell his parents because that's crucial information on the whole Runaway thing and since they don't know what happened you have to tell them so they don't expect that hes dead.

    And if That was me i would have told Robs Parent's because its there "Duty" to know whats up with there son

    ReplyDelete
  16. robs parents are worried about rob so they would want to know every detail that could help them figure out where rob could be. sooner or later robs parents would find out what had happened to rob and what the reason for running away was. also if sarah and katie tell mr and mrs king what had happened then wouldnt they be helping them, then interfering in there problems. another fact is that mrs king had called for help to know if katie or her mom have any idea of rob/what has happened to him. kate ans sarah should tell that rob had cheated and he might have(they dont know for sure)been sressed about his parents reactions.

    if i was katie i would have told them , so im not keeping secrets from them. also if i can tell my mom why cant i tell robs parents. if i take sarahs word on not telling and i would wnat to tell, i wouldnt know what is reight at the moment so i would ask my mom(katies mom) what she would think and what i should do.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I also think instead telling their parents, they should find him with another's help to check if he is safe.

  18. @luigi
    why do you think that rob's dad will be more mad because if i was him i would notice that rob is scared to death about me.

    ReplyDelete
  19. @deadmau5 what if rob was your friend would still u do something that he would get mad at u for doing

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think that Katie and Sarah might tell Rob parents because when they find out the reason why Rob left, they would understand why he ran. But at the same time they would be even more mad at Rob and when he comes home then...

    What I would do in Rob place is go back home because when your out there in the roads at night, people can kidnap you or even kill you right on the spot. If Rob goes home he would be safe from danger, but still get a punishmentfor what he has done on the test.

    ReplyDelete
  21. In my opinion I don't think that they should tell Rob's parents because if Rob wanted to tell his parents he would have came home to tell his parents himself and he wouldn't have ran away from home. What if Katie and Sarah told his parents about what happened at school and then his dad got really angry and would "ground him for life" or even KILL HIM!!!!!!!!! Then Rob would get angry at Katie and Sarah for interfering in his problem and maybe he will start ignoring them and just leave them. Then Katie and Sarah would be responsible for Rob's punishment.

    I would tell and also wouldn't tell Rob's parents. I would first wait a few weeks to see if Rob shows up or not because if it's been a really long time since Rob has been missing then you can assume that it's probably something serious and then I would most likely tell his parents for his safety.

    but in real life you wouldnot know if they are dying or if they are having fun at a friends house. in real life you would never know

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think Katie and Sarah should tell Rob's parents. Do to the facts that if they don't they would as well get in trouble for not telling Rob's parents, and if you tell your parents and not lie about it you wont get into much trouble, because if you do lie and you'll be getting in trouble for lying and the mid-term . But either way you'll get in trouble .

    I would tell because I will want to know as well and then we would go looking for him and I would tell Rob's parents that he ran away because he cheated on his mid-term .

    ReplyDelete
  24. I agree with Sarah I think that they shouldn't be so FOSS into peoples business. I think that if Rob wanted to tell his parents about cheating on the exam he would have went home instead of running away. So, I think that Katie should just leave it alone and mind her own business.

    ReplyDelete
  25. They should try telling Rob's parents because then Rob's parents would worry less, and maybe the problem wouldn't be as high tempo. That would release alot of tension but for Rob's dad he might view it differently, as Rob explained it "take it like a man". Then it seems as if he is so aggressive that there is no mercy within him. But his mom seems like the type that would save him from all of this. The type that defends their child over their said to be "over abusive" spouse. Which brings me back to the question of Should they tell Rob's parents? It would definately make sense since they are his parents. Would he get in trouble? Of course but if he doesn't tell them the truth he's in way deeper nonsense. In conclusion I say they should tell his parents.

    I wouldn't tell because I'm his friend. Wouldn't that be a snitch? Ratting them out and telling their parents as Anurag puts it "Snake". If I knew his dad I probably wouldn't have because of how abusive he sounds even Dan described the beating he would get when he was at practice. Sounds like his dad is a phycopath who needs help.

  26. @Luigi I dont think Robs dad is going to be so mad or not even mad when rob walks in the door or if he doesnt because they havent seen him for right now about a day they would be so happy to see him home its there baby maybe like after all of the happyness they would get mad at him and talk to him about what he did and what he should next time.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i think that sarah and katie should tell rob's parents because they should know about what has happened.
    and if they do tell robs parents, they may know that rob isnt dead, and that he ran away.
    they can also know where to look for him.
    and if they dont, we left off at the part where rob was going to pgone his parents. and so, i think that they will find out even if sarah and katie dont tell.

    i think that i would tell robs parents because atleast they know that he ran away for a reason.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't think that they shouldn't tell Rob's parents, agree with Sarah that it's not their problem, and they should mind their own business. If Rob wanted to tell his parents he would have done it when he got caught but he didn't, so i think that would be a sign to Katie and Sarah that they shouldn't tell.

    ReplyDelete
  29. They should tell his parents Rob is very scared of his dad and he cheated on his test so he might of ran away because he's really scared of his dad and he didn't want to face his dad.

    They probably won't do anything like they said because they think there doing a play and when something might happen to rob they will tell what happen at school but maybe when Rob comes back his dad will not yell but just be happy that he's back.

    ReplyDelete
  30. @tehreem by saying sopporting rob i mean that tell his mom he at some friends house so his moms doesn't worry asbout him because rob think his mom is going to be freaking out.when rob doesn't want his mom to worry about him

    ReplyDelete
  31. @Mr.Cheney it is crucial because if hes dead hes in one spot if hes alive they know hes probably on the move and if he were to be dead he would want to die in a forest or something to hide himself but if he were alive like i said he would be on the move not in one place continuing his "trip" >O< <--- My Candy :)

  32. @mario
    do you think that anyone has the guts to tell someones parents their child is dead i think that no one has the guts for this statement also

    ReplyDelete
  33. i think tht they should tell on him first of all, its gonna be fair with everryone who cheated because their parents knows but rob parents doesn't so he would not get into all the trouble others got into.
    secod of all, if they would tell his parents then they would be more secure for him so he dosn't do sucha thing ever again such as running away from the house or anything.
    and at last i would say that if they tell his parents on him then they can make him realize that what he did was wrong

    ReplyDelete
  34. I don't think they should tell the family personally because they would go and ask the other family of which told them about this and ask if they had anything t do with it and the family will go to conclusions and think that Sarah and Katie got them into this trouble. So it would be better off telling someone else that's not involved in the problem so it wouldn't become in to a big fuss.


    If I were them I would just get Dan to send the message to Sarah's phone Sarah accidentally leaves it at Rob's house they check the emails and it goes off all easy and such for all of them and might give them time to check if Rob was actually dead.

    ReplyDelete
  35. i think that if sarah says no for telling robs parents, katie should still because she knows its the right thing to do.

    ReplyDelete
  36. @ wario
    well no, i guess not but i think they do have the guts to tell their parents that he is missing and they can also tell them that he would be seriously hurt, and dying with hunger

    ReplyDelete
  37. @wario good point because at some point his dad will realize that his son is scared if what I'm ( Rob's dad ) going to do and he would also be scared about the consequences.

    ReplyDelete
  38. @Anurag
    But since he's telling the truth wouldn't his parents have sympathy for him telling the truth. And that would compensate for the anger that they are so called raged with. What do you think?

    ReplyDelete
  39. @ jan101 robs parents called katie to ask if they had any idea of what happened so katie should tell them and katie telling them what happened would be helping not interfering. also as master chief said robs parents have the right to know, and sooner or later they would have found out, because he is suspended.

    ReplyDelete
  40. @Luigi: What about Rob safety? Wouldn't the parents think about the safety first?

    ReplyDelete
  41. @Blossom , Yes but they were best freinds until Grade 2 so she worries but i agree she shouldnt tell because when the school principal finds out wouldnt be tell...??

    ReplyDelete
  42. @Luigi rob's mom just ask katie for idea of where rob can be not tell katie to go look for him.

    ReplyDelete
  43. @PrincessPeach You would get in trouble as well if you don't tell Rob's parents what happens if Rob really did die of hunger and you waited for weeks, then you would be responsible of his death. Wouldn't you rather have him alive and in trouble or dead and you in trouble and suffer the loss of a friend

    ReplyDelete
  44. @Princess Peach!!!! If You Wait that long he would probably be dead and thats too long and youre going to be stuck with the guilt and you just rather not tell his parents

    ReplyDelete
  45. @shelby
    yes but sarah and katie do not know if chen called his parents.

    ReplyDelete
  46. @MasterChief
    I agree because he could be dead by now.

  47. @abeeshan
    they are not going to say rob is dead, they are going to tell them that he cheated

    ReplyDelete
  48. @Wario Telling someone that their child is dead isn't something to fear about I think it is personally something to think about in a way to tell them so they don't get them in trouble.

    ReplyDelete
  49. @mario
    what do you think would be rob's dad first impression.

    ReplyDelete
  50. @sana u r right but if rob doesn't want his mom to be worry about him then y did he ran away??
    i think that they should tell on him,even if they will get worry but still atleast they would get moe secure about him and they would try that he doesn't do this again.

    ReplyDelete
  51. @Toadette,Yes thats why the principal could tell right because Rob would have felt worser if his former freind told (Katie)I think that woudl hurt him more even throught both ways he would haave to face his dad.

    ReplyDelete
  52. another fact, ~integrity` would come in. doing the right thing is to tell what had happened(chetaing on the mid-term) no one knows if hes dead katie just has a feeling hes dead.

    ReplyDelete
  53. @ wario
    about what?

    ReplyDelete
  54. In my opinion I think that they shouldn't tell Rob's parents .They shouldn't interfere because Rob never went home for a reason but Katie and Sarah don't know that but if Rob wanted to tell his parents wouldn't he have already got a phone call home from the principal?? Really it's none of Sarah's and Katie's business because they have nothing to do with all of this...they should just stay out of it before they get in big trouble god knows what can come their way. I also think that they shouldn't tell because then Rob's parents will lose trust in Rob. Everyone's parent want to hear the truth not out of someone else but out of their own child they don't need someone else to come and tell them what had happened at school after that if Rob does show up at home his parents wont let him go anywhere without parent supervision because he hid this from them so they might think what else they could be hiding....Sarah and Katie shouldn't say anything because they can get themselves stuck in this situation and if that were me I wouldn't want that to happen.

    If it were me I would but also wouldn't tell Rob's parents. By that I mean like not to say anything about this incident to his parents but if Rob is missing for more than 2-3 weeks I would go and tell his parents straight because this tiny thing can lead to bigger things and i wouldn't want that to happen.Also I wouldn't tell because I wouldn't want someone to lose trust in their own son or daughter just because of me.

    This issue (Rob going missing) has nothing to do with Sarah and Katie its between Rob , trust, and his parents

    ReplyDelete
  55. @Vinay I understand they should do that because if his dad knows that robs scared of him he might go easy on him or if his dad tries anything his mom would save her Little boy from the danger of a violent parent

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think Rob would rather be in a home then a sewer, he might be at a phase where he just doesnt want to face his dad and if he is found he'll regret making the problem worse, because maybe his dad is so strict that he would be really mad that he tried to run away from a punishment.

  59. @JAN101 who were friends since grade 2?

    ReplyDelete
  60. @Wario
    They won't have more clues but they are more likely to have a better understanding of the situation. Which then in turn could lead to clues of the whereabouts of Rob. But, what kind of clues could lead to where Rob is?

    ReplyDelete
  61. @ wario
    okay then umhh when they see each other?

    ReplyDelete
  62. @tehreem he ran away because he didn't want to get in trouble

    ReplyDelete
  63. @:P,It's because Rob is really worried what his dad would do to him but i think he should go home and face it because he did cheat

    ReplyDelete
  64. @Wario why would katie or sarah tell robs parents hes dead they were talking about telling his parents about cheating on the test.

    ReplyDelete
  65. @Deadmau5
    That is true but even if he is scared, his Dad cant really beat him up or anything like that.

    ReplyDelete
  66. @sonic
    well do you think that you have the guts to tell your friend's parents that your friend is dead also not being sure that he is dead.

    ReplyDelete
  67. @mario Yes I think that they should tell his parents and also not as I said in my first comment because what if he really needs help because in the book Rob said that he was really hungry and no one was even looking at him to try and help him or give him some money to make a phone call.

    ReplyDelete
  68. @The Sauce Boss: I agree that is true but wouldn't safty come first?

    ReplyDelete
  69. @ donna
    i agree.
    i think that rob is making the situation worse, and he is hungry, so he would rather be at home with food and face the consequence rather than starving to death.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Princess Daisy So You're saying its okay for them to know important stuff and let him die it makes no sense you're supposedly a nice person but is willing to let Rob die for something as small ass cheating and let his Fear get to him 1 life that could be saved by you hasn't because its "None of you're business"

    ReplyDelete
  71. @mario
    when they see each other.

  72. @Blossom ,I think Rob and Katie were freinds until grade 2 but im not sure or maybe it was senior Kindergarden..

    ReplyDelete
  73. @olga the author never let us know that rob's dad is abusive or just a yeller...

    ReplyDelete
  74. @ wario
    than he would be mad because he first tried to escape from consequences also he cheated which might of ruined their reputation.

    ReplyDelete
  75. @Harry lover :):P !! wouldn't you be scared about putting yourself in this situation (involving yourself) in something that you were not supposed to be involved to?? Like think about it if you go and tell Rob's parents and then they go and tell the police they will think you know more about this and they will like "take you down" as in keep on asking you the same thing trying to get the truth out when there is no more truth

    ReplyDelete
  76. @Peach i agree i would wait a little more to see if he would come back, and if he doesn't i would tell his parents

    ReplyDelete
  77. @thamil I think his dads one of the people that make there child hard so his dad goes really hard on him. Do you think it's think it okay for them not to tell Robs parents ?

    ReplyDelete
  78. @Shelby: So you think that by being good person, you should not tell his perents about why he ran away?

    ReplyDelete
  79. @bubbles
    yes i do know which is why i said Sarah and Katie do not know that if Chen told called rob's parents

    ReplyDelete
  80. @aqib
    not telling them he is dead, it is telling them he cheated.

    ReplyDelete
  81. @ Aqib I would have the guts but if I was to have a chance to tell the person that has a personal feeling for the person otherwise I would just let it go.

    ReplyDelete
  82. @Princess Daisy, Yes, i dont think Rob would really like it if Katie or Sarah told

    ReplyDelete
  83. @Matercheif: But then telling about him cheating has nothing to do with finding Rob. If they tell or not what would it matter Katie and Sarah think Rob is dead they have no idea where he is or anything all they know is he got in trouble for cheating......

    ReplyDelete
  84. @Aloo
    But why should anyone else not come and tell his parents? Why not? If your parents are worried sick about the whereabouts of your child, why wouldn't they want free information on their child? Its not like they have to pay for it. Put your self in Rob's shoes, Rob's parents shoes.

    ReplyDelete
  85. @Janat Even I think that he should of went home and faced the consequences of getting in trouble for cheating because at least he wouldn't get in as much trouble as he would now since he ran away from the problem


    @Thamil good point because maybe if you wait too long he could be dead by then but what I mean is you should at least wait a day or two and try to find out where he is and if he's okay and then when you have at least a little information about his whereabouts then you can inform his parents but if you don't then you should immediatly tell his parents because you wouldn't want the guilt of him being dead stuck in you.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I don't think they should tell Rob's parents about the exam. That's between his parents and him and they're not really in a place to get involved. Don't Rob's parents already know about hiim cheating because Mr. Chen already called his house?

    I probably wouldn't tell Rob's parents. I'd think about it, but stop because I don't want to get involved.

    ReplyDelete
  87. @sonic
    but what if you are not sure if this person is alive or not.

  88. @buttercup
    we do not know if chen called his parents and maybe it is a no
    also why if you tell them they would have an exclamation for why he left.

  89. @peach
    true he does not have to run away for a problem like this i wonder how cruel is rob's father.

    ReplyDelete
  90. @tutty: ok if im worried sick i would want to know some information on WHERE my child is not what my child has done and if its good or bad, right now that wont matter to me because my child could be in danger god know where he is ....so if they tell or not what does that have to do with where Rob has gone.... right now i don't care why he would be gone i want to know where he is gone ...does that make any sense to you?

    ReplyDelete
  91. @Jan101: exactly ..like what does any of that have to do with them?? Also people are asking me like when will they come and tell the truth when Rob is dead but the only thing i don't get is how does Katie and Sarah telling Rob's parents that he cheated on his mid term going to find Rob?? It makes no sense to me am i the only one??

    ReplyDelete
  92. @Princess Daisy, Yes but i think if they find out they would have a idea of why he ran away or isn't returning home.Even through as you said i don't think it would help finding him.

    @Princess Peach,I agree, he should have faced it because now he just gained more attention to himself.But he was having a hard-time and i think he would maybe gain up the strength to go back.

    ReplyDelete
  93. If I do not know I would still do the same thing because they at least should have that warning.

    ReplyDelete
  94. @Jan101: ohh okay because if you tell or not it wont really matter the parents should still go to the police and report

    ReplyDelete
  95. @princess peach I don't think that he's going to get more in trouble when he comes home if he comes home because his parents are going to be thinking about him not the cheating just making sure there baby is safe they might ask him why he did all this and not come to them earlier to make this such a big deal they might handle it diferet
