It has recently come to my attention that @URAVlTY-has been plagiarised.
This is really wrong and you don't have the right to copy others work without at least crediting them. It's not hard to do and just takes a few seconds, or ask them if you can use their idea. I heard it from bailey(sry my tags were not working) and I think that it's really wrong as well. I know that Ivy already has been diagnosed with anxiety and she has self-esteem problems so this has probably added to that. Ivy is a great person and always manages to be happy at least on the outside (heck i didn't want to be friends with her at first because I thought she was too happy all the time).
In the past, people have plagiarised and here are some examples. Writing a word-for-word passage from his/their/her source without any indication that it is a quotation, including a verbatim passage from his/her source and has failed to indicate it's a direct quotation and basically just copying the writer. Another case could be more or less copying it but changing a few words and that is also wrong.
You could potentially get expelled from your university, your work getting destroyed and even legal action, such as fines and penalties. It's not worth it as you could easily lose respect from others and it can be easily prevented from happening.
Please don't plagiarise others and please include your sources of where you got your information from. It's not hard to do and it only takes a few seconds. In a case where you may have forgotten who you copied from, you can state at the bottom that you saw the piece of work somewhere and decided to use it.
I'm not usually this serious so you can tell that I'm not kidding about this. Where is your decency people? I can't believe that this is happening and I'm really annoyed at it happening to one of my friends. I'm really annoyed at finding out about it and now having experienced it I can understand why my school made us read/watch a whole presentation about this.
In conclusion, please don't copy others and if you do then at least credit them, or ask of you can use their work first. The consequences are not worth it and it could really hurt others.
Thank you.
