Summary/Abstract: The article presents the opinion of minors on the phenomenon of school cheating. The study included 30 charges residing in a shelter for minors, and 30 high school pupils. On the basis of the study results, the scale and scope of cheating that respondents commit was determined. The method of a diagnostic survey was used, applying an author questionnaire, consisting of th irteen closed questions and one open question. The analysis of the results of empirical studies conducted shows that the widespread public attitude to cheating was confirmed among the surveyed young people of both groups. Studies showed that both the charges of the shelter for minors, as well as surveyed high school pupils, often used from unauthorized forms of assistance at school and reprehensibly justify the reasons for such conduct. It was also found that the respondents constantly multiply the reasons for frequently using unauthorized assistance. The respondents are of the opinion that one cannot comply to the general belief that cheating cannot be counteracted. The phenomenon of cheating is widespread, despite authoritarian attempts to limit it by teachers and educators.
