School rules, honesty and wrong accusations, sentence 8

Some skills, like spelling "necessary", need to live in your own head, and sometimes helping someone, like a little brother, means not helping him cheat.

Who acts: skills, helping, way · What happens: spell, need, live, help, mean, not help · To what, where: necessary, own head, someone, way · Speech: someone speaks here
