Okay, there's this friend of mine that's a guy whom I've liked for almost 3 years. Ive been good friends with him even though we have had some ups and downs. He doesn't like me back and has a girlfriend who isnt really a Christian of course which is saddening but I still support him and try to give him good advice. So in school especially in math hes a good student but cheats on a lot of his quizzes and tests. Now, I used to cheat at times when somebody would give me an answer to something but I stopped because I felt in my heart it was wrong and that i didn't earn that good grade and that I was only cheating myself. He cheats through his math quizzes and tests without feeling bad about it and it gets me upset because he goes to chapel, church, etc proclaiming hes a christian and sings worship songs yet says a cuss word everyday (he doesn't cuss much) and cheats i his next class without feeling bad about it because he continuously does it.
I try my best on all of my tests, etc but if i didn't study i wont cheat. Ill except my irresponsibility and will get the grade I get. Now earlier today, we were suppose to have a quiz in geometry. Before we took the quiz my guy friend decided to be sneaky and take the answer key without the teacher looking to the quiz on his desk. The teacher then recognized that the answer key was not there and wanted to know who would do that. He didn't make any accusations but said he was very dissapointed. My guy friend tried to not look guilty by saying, well whoever did it was stupid. who would do such a thing? Basically he was lying that he didn't do it. So he cheated and lied and almost everybody in our class took it as a joke when I was just disappointed in him. He says hes a christian but does all that without feeling bad about it and does it again and again.
I posted as a tweet on twitter hoping he would see it that i don't get people who worship God in chapel and sing , etc but cheat in their next class. Doesn't sound sincere to me. He saw it then sended me a sarcastic picture of a smiling bunny that says, I know how you feel, but i just don't care. and that got me even more upset. Honestly i deeply care for him and only want to help him. I basically wanted to let him know that he shouldn't do that and ask for forgiveness because hes better than that. That hes only cheating himself. Im only trying to be a true friend. Most of his friends wouldn't even tell him that , they would just laugh over the situation and do it with him. This is what the response I get to only trying to give good advice and be a helpful friend..:( then he deleted the picture that he he sended me then unfollowed me on twitter.

Being a good friend isn't always easy and being a great friend is often time even harder :)

Sorry if I sound skeptical about the " friends" part, but I believe you like him more than that. That's why it hurts so much. Any other general friend's remarks would also hurt, but not nearly as bad. From what you said, I don't believe he's a Christian at all.
He may have a Christian family and go to a Christian school, but that doesn't mean anything concerning him. Note what the Scripture says:

Matthew 7:20[SUP]20[/SUP] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
1 Corinthians 5:11[SUP]11[/SUP] But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

The Bible teaches that we are not to fellowship with such people. That was the mistake that led to you being hurt by a " friend" that was neither a Christian or a friend. The best you can do now is learn from your experience and from studying the word concerning it to make you a better Christian.
