I cheated; can you help?

[Mallory123]

Hello. I am a middle school student and I have a big big big personal problem. I was caught cheating today with another girl. I get a detention but that isnt the full problem…I was cheating another time today…On a school-monatered laptop. I feel as if I may get in more trouble and I am terrified. It may not seem big to you but to me, right now, I am so scared. Please help me calm down or help me pray to God so that he may help me through this harder time for me.

Dear Friend,

God still loves us even when we all make mistakes. But there is no short cut around being responsible for our actions. If you cheated, then you must pay the consequences. It’s not the end of the world. You will get through it. Next time though, you will know not to cheat. You are in my prayers.
