  1. One time I witnessed someone copying another person's work. The person copying another person's work didn't do theirs so he asked his friend for help. I saw it, but did not do nothing because I'm not like that (snitching on someone). I didn't snitch on that person because I don't like getting other people in trouble. I say snitching on someone else is bad because why get someone in trouble???

  2. One time i saw someone smoking. The person who was smoking was one of my brothers friend. I saw it but i did not tell no one because my brothers weren't friends with him. Why would i snitch on them when it don't matter because my brothers don't hang out with them anymore? I didn't tell on him because i didn't want to cause more trouble between him and my brothers.

  3. I have witnessed several events that probably weren't the best things to witness. One of the worst I've seen was a beating i couldn't do anything about. Three guys out in the woods with a guy tied up on his knees in front if them had beaten this poor guy almost to death and were still going at it. I didn't tell anyone about because no one would believe it. I didn't want to get involved and i still haven't.

    3. I agree with you because it was smart not to get involved even if you wanted to, it could have put your life in more danger than seeing the action happen.

  4. I agree with you completely, you know what they say snitches get stitches and what's the point of telling on someone. It's the teacher job to catch them (say no to snitching) antarius

  6. I once witnessed a bad act being done. I saw my sister sneaking out. I really wanted to tell my parents because she gets me in trouble all the time. Then I though why not bribe her. Since I did not tell on her she gave me ten dollars. I realized why snitch on someone when they can give you something back!

  9. One time i saw this kid cheating off someone else and i decided not to say anything. But come to find out i got in trouble to because the teacher saw that i noticed and i decided not to say anything.But if it came down to it again i wouldn't do anything because if someone does something bad they'll get in trouble but if it had to do with murder i would tell right away because someone life is in stake.

  10. One time I was riding my back to my friend's house and I passed by a drug deal. I continued to ride my bike to my friends house thinking about what i just saw. I didn't tell anyone about it. I didn't tell anyone because I feared my own safety would be endangered. I really didn't feel like getting shot or stabbed later.

  16. i witnessed some one cheating on a test. i didn't tell the teacher it wasn't my grade and wasn't my problem. i think unless it is a serious problem you should tell some one but if its not a big deal then you should just mind your own problem. also if you do tell you have to worry about people being mad at you so you jet have to be carefull. ,

  18. One time I saw one of my friends smoking and doing the wrong things. I knew they weren’t aloud to do any of that. I didn’t want them to get in trouble. So I stayed quite and didn’t tell anyone.

  19. eye witness accounts depend on what the incident is and can be very useful in cases against criminals to prosecute them in court

  21. I once saw two people cheating off each other. They both didn't complete the work and It was worth a big grade. I felt bad for them & I decided not to say anything. If I was in that position and someone told on me, I would be very upset. So, because of that, I didn't tell anyone what I witnessed.

  22. One time, I was in the car with my sister. Out of nowhere, a cat zoomed out in front of her car. She swerved every which way to dodge it but the suicidal asshole always ran into our path. It seemed like it took forever in the midst of all of the intensity and panic. Next thing we know the car bounced up and back down again. We were silent the whole ride home. I didn't call the cops.

  23. Once I witnessed a car accident. It was caused by a person who was looking down at his phone instead of looking at the road. The man who was looking down at his phone collided with another car. They both got crushed, their cars totaled. This is the worst thing i have witnessed.
