From reading most of the other student's blogs I'm noticing that most of them are saying cheating is wrong, but what I don't get is that each of them has most likely cheated in their lifetime. I know I have and quite frankly am ashamed I have done so in the past because looking back at the assignment, it wasn't that difficult. Plagiarism is a tough issue though in high school and in college. That is your work that someone else is using and calling their own. To some people plagiarism isn't bad at all. To some they think plagiarism is okay, but it's not and it needs to stop. Trust me, down the line when you actually put your own blood and sweat into a project, into studying, or into anything; it's 100% worth it. The gratification that comes along with finishing something YOU started is an outstanding feeling that no one should miss out on. Do the world a favor and don't plagiarize because you're not just hurting yourslef, but you're hurting the person who put there own work into it.
Here are some good websites to make you break those habits of looking off someone else's paper or using someone else's essay.
