Comment on How should I handle an ex friend who feels like he needs to bully me to raise his own self esteem? (We're adults)

  What you were doing was big enough to go straight to reporting. The way he saw you as a person probably changed. Its really not surprising he didn’t talk to you first.

  I mean if you were sharing homework answers or olds test, or even cheating on your own test that would be different. You were compltly doing others homework for money. You keep saying that they still did the tests. Well depending on the class, the homework is a big part of the grade. Not to mention all the added free time they get by not doing homework. Extra time to study, less stress, and a boost to their grade. Plus you were doing this for money, not to help a friend or so they would help you with yours. AND it was multiple people, many times throughout the class. On scale of severity, what you did isn’t the absolute worst possible but it’s getting close.

    This is only the second or third time that I’m talking about it with anyone else. I didn’t know it was this serious.

      I could tell, that’s why I went in depth. I’m surprised you didn’t get expelled.

        I guess I could have, eh. I did end up getting in trouble for it. I had a research job that they fired me from.

  Well we are only getting your side of the story, and it is not uncommon for people to omit facts about a situation that makes themselves look bad.

  It would have been nice for him to talk to you about it first, but thats only a courtesy and not a requirement. Its possible that law or school regulations require reporting and do not allow for him to talk to you about it, as it may include him in the action. Its also possible that he felt slighted by something you did, even if you aren’t aware of it.

  Either way, what you were doing was wrong and his reporting you was not a wrong action. His way of treating you is a wrong action.

  Both wrong, both should ignore each other and move on.

  The guy is massively toxic to you. Why do you want to keep that around? Just cut him out of your life. Someone like that isn’t worth anyone’s time or your second chances. It’s like he genuinely wants to hurt you. Both by rubbing in the fact that he graduated and also destroying any of your chances at succeeding your business. Fuck him.

  That is unless, you’re not telling us the full story and you’ve done something to him. Then maybe you can understand why he’s going out of his way to hurt you… Either way that friend isn’t going to work.

  And you who is supposed to be innocent is saying “you could have at least tried to guilt me into stopping even though I knew what i was doing was fraud”
