Today, we got our results for our final grade English paper on which I worked my butt off on, and also which I let my best-friend copy off from. I received a E- and two detentions for plagiarism. My friend got a A-. All she said was, "Oh well, at least you tried your best". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 submitted a poem for my English class. I had fun writing it, so I wrote a second which was not nearly as good. My procrastinator of a friend never did his, so I gave him my extra poem. Mine was given a 75% while "his" received a 93%. FML
Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML
Today, I received a terrible grade for an essay I worked really hard on. I had two friends, one being an English major, check it over. However, apparently I "clearly didn't use spellcheck" on this essay just like the last one I submitted to her. FML
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML
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
Today, at school, I got in trouble for plagiarizing on a paper. The subject of said paper was where I see myself in ten years. FML
Today, my English professor bragged to my entire class about how good my essay was. He kept on saying great things about it for the duration of class. To my surprise, he'd given me a C-. When I asked why, his only response was: "I'm a hard grader." FML
Today, I got a paper back that was given a zero for suspected plagiarism. Everything I wrote was my own thought and analysis. My instructor basically thinks my paper is smarter than I am. He won't listen, even when I explain my thought processes throughout the piece. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How is she supposed to know who copied who? YDI for letting your friend cheat off you.

I think the E was for *E*xtra *F*oolish? ...thus the minus. Guess we know who's paper she read first! much deserved for letting your "friend" copy. A REAL friend wouldn't ask to copy in the first place. Chalk it up as a lesson learned in both school and life (friends).

At my university, allowing someone to copy (plagiarize) your work is just as bad as plagiarizing someone else's work. So YDI for letting that bitch copy off you. Hope you learned your lesson!

Never ever let someone copy off you, or bounce ideas off you, no matter how "good" of a friend they are! They don't deserve the credit when you were the one who killed off all the brain cells and such. I hope you learned your lesson this time! By the way, you should confront the teacher about it. Even if he/she believes that you were the one who copied your friend's work, that does not mean your friend should get away with it. When plagiarism occurs, BOTH students get an automatic fail on their papers. What you're teacher did is biased and it violates school policies.

You're an idiot and so is your friend

You're an idiot for letting your friend copy - you totally deserve all the trouble you're in. If a friend asks to copy, tell them to get off their lazy ass and do it themselves; if the friend gets angry with you, you're better off ditching someone who can't comprehend the idea that cheating is wrong.

E-?? In the states ours goes A, B, C, D, and F. I never knew you could get an E in other countries. Strange.
