You and your BEST friend from childhood get your exam results. You haven’t done that well but your best mate has done amazing. When u congratulate her she tells u in CONFIDENCE that she actually cheated (didn‘t have time to revise). Would you inform the tutor/appropriate person?
Obviously we would have to establish the situation a bit more e.g. why didn’t she have time to revise (was it due to a death in the family or due to spending too much time partying (so its her own fault)
If the latter then the right thing would possibly be to tell the tutor
But I was wondering
Do you think the fact that your best buddy trusted you and told you in confidence is very relevant in your decision making? Consequently if you told you would be breaching the trust (which is sometimes needed) but in this situation could you agree not to tell on these grounds given the consequences of you keeping quiet, in this scenario, would not really have an impact on anyone else compared to if you told in which case u might not even be able to prove the cheating and so there is a chance nothing at all will be achieved etc etc?
