Today, I was copying an assignment from my friend and was feeling confident that I was gonna pass. I later found out I copied his name too, so the teacher failed us both. He won't talk to me now. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my teacher called a friend and me out of class and told us we had been reported for plagiarism because our answers to a problem were nearly identical, and he said that I shouldn't have shared my work. This for an assignment where significant marks were awarded for collaborating with peers. FML
Today, I made a multiple choice exam so my friend could practice and get a good grade on his real exam. While I was helping him finish it, the teacher saw it, thought we were cheating and failed us both. FML
Today, I found out why my history grade is so low: the kid in front of me takes my homework, writes his name on it, and passes it off as his own. FML
Today, I failed an assignment because the person I paid to do it plagiarized the entire thing. FML
Today, my college instructor told me I hadn't actually failed a big exam as he originally said. It turns out he'd mixed me up with another student. Now thanks to the power of gossip, half my class thinks I slept with him so he'd switch my grade with the other student's. FML
Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML
Today, I found out why my biology class TA, who takes the class alongside the other students, was always so eager to collect my work. Turns out, she's been erasing my name on my papers and writing hers in all semester. My failing final grade has already been finalized. FML
Today, my so-called friend snitched to the teachers that I was the admin of the school confessions page and I got scolded after school. FML
Today, the boy I tutor failed his math test. As a result, the family fired me. The boy failed because he forgot to write his name at the top. FML
Today, my friend told me she'd lost her notebook filled with crucial notes for our finals. She asked if she could borrow mine and copy my notes. She then lost my notebook too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You deserve it. Do your own work and stop being a leech.

Good thing I don't have the habit of pressing the "You deserved it" button. In this case, I might have pierced my phone with my finger.

Wow. Just . . . wow. I have no idea what to say to so incredibly ridiculous a fail.

You'd have failed anyway, if you copy word for word it's bound to be noticed lol

I had a ‘friend’ do this to me. Huge breach of trust. She did this for an assignment for a diploma where they failed us both, for the whole course, which we had paid for, and to complete my diploma I had to pay AGAIN and spend the next six months doing the course AGAIN. You are a dick.

You should take one for the team and tell the teacher that you did it alone so your friend doesn't get screwed by your stupidity.

Apart from the obvious factor that you even included your friends name and no doubt the copy was word for word, the purpose of assignments is to learn the material being taught. Simply copying someone else’s work does not provide you the learning experience that doing your own work does. Believe it or not, the purpose of these classes and assignments is to teach you the subject and how to think about the material in a logical way to come to your own conclusions. The purpose is not just to check off the boxes in your teacher’s grade book. You are cheating yourself out of an education when you cheat on your assignments. Furthermore teachers have seen it all before - word for word answers means at least collaboration and probably cheating. I’ll bet you though that the teacher never saw anyone so dumb as to include the name of the person they copied off of. No doubt the teacher showed that one to the other teachers and they had a good laugh.

I’m a first year teacher, and I’ve had this happen. Multiple times. And we’ve only been in school for 3 months.

YDI. You cheated; now you’re facing the consequences. You’re lucky you’re just getting a failing grade. In most schools, cheating and plagiarism is an expulsive offense.

Well it wasn't the lesson you were supposed to learn, but at least you've hopefully learned something. Same goes for your friend, who was also complicit in this. After all, he agreed to let you copy his work, so he should apologize for letting you be a part of his stupidity, and you should apologize for being equally as stupid, and also for being a cheating little turd.

well hopefully you learned your lesson! I had an awful time in school and still didnt copy off of people! if you're having that much trouble then ask your teacher for help.
