One time I knew something was wrong and I did not tell was when someone, not going to name names, was playing a computer game during class. I felt that this was not a crime that someone should be punished for so I did not turn them in. In addition, because I am also guilty of this at times so by turning them in, they might possible turn me in at some other point. Also, by playing the game in class they are only hurting their own understanding of the material that we are learning. If the teacher where to have catch wind that we were playing the games in class, I felt that the punishment would not be serious. So by turning this person in I do not gain anything, but instead could possibly loss a friendship. This event has happened various times during different classes. Although this moment is not of great significance it can relate to many reasons that someone would not tell on a person even if they knew something was wrong. They might risk losing a friendship or because they commit the act themselves would get punished as well.
