Today, my AP teacher once again accused me of plagiarism. Apparently the words "demise," "ultimately," and "rural," are too sophisticated for an 11th grade AP student to use and MUST have been copied from the Internet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, 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 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, my classmate told me she can copy an article from the internet and hand that in, as long as she cites it at the end. FML
Today, I got yelled at for 10 minutes by my head of department for failing one of my students for plagiarism, because, "we can't be sure." It was my work he plagiarised, but because it's not in our system, it doesn't count. FML
Today, I got an A+ on a writing assignment. My teacher asked me three times if I really did write this article myself, and didn't memorise an article from the Internet. 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
Today, I collected my students' final essays. One of them submitted a printout of a screenshot he took with his phone. Too bad a browser address bar was still in the shot, along with a "click to read more" link at the bottom. My students are too dumb and lazy to even plagiarize properly. FML
Today, I failed an assignment because the person I paid to do it plagiarized the entire thing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Jokes on them; if you're telling the truth then you're clearly more intelligent than they think you could be, good for you!

Okay seriously? What kind of teacher is this? I hate to say this but f*** this teacher. As an AP student, you are expected to know words like that! Especially in 11th grade. I use words like scintillating and agathokakological all the time....that is absolutely ridiculous. I hate teachers like that.

teachers have such low standards for students now in days and it's sad. in 7th grade my best friend was accused of plagiarism for using the word semen. it was a paper on the male reproductive system. this is why Americans are portrayed as stupid because of teachers like this who do not teach but somehow stall the learning process

Well you ARE bitching about your life on the internet, so clearly your teacher is correct.

Your teacher is an asshat, but I would deduct one point for using 'demise', a newspaper cliché that can usually be replaced by a simpler, more specific word such as 'end' or 'downfall'.

I have been using these words since 5th grade. A dictionary is available at all ages isn't it?

You've got a dumbass for a teacher. But I can kind of understand his point of view. In my 11th grade history class, a girl asked how to spell museum and said "wait what?" right after the teacher changed a slide on a PowerPoint.
