paragraph on cheating is a curse

"Cheating is a curse"
“When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.”
Cheating in exams has been going on everywhere and for a very long time, but I still remember when I was in primary school, students hardly used cheating methods to pass the exams.
Students then were ‘afraid’ of cheating. They thought of it as a crime and those caught red-handed in the class in tests or exams were considered to be the dullest. And for a long time after being caught doing such a shameful deed, they were looked down upon by teachers and shunned by fellow students. This alone was enough to make them feel guilty and they would then rely on their own hard work and not indulge in unfair means to get marks. Parents were also always concerned about children’s behaviour and studies. They would ask them how they did in exams or tests, and always kept a check on their activities and the kind of friends they hung out with.
Unfortunately, now everyone seems too pressed for time, even parents. TV, smart phones and internet have taken over most of the family time that was once spent sharing and doing things together. Now there is less parental supervision and children do whatever pleases them. Whether they study or not, children find a way to pass the exams. It is saddening.
