Hilo. I'm a gifted/ap/whatever u like sophmore in high school. The first week of this new school year, my gftd world lit teacher asked us to right an essay. My friend wrote the essay, but the last sentence appeared in an altered font, and the teacher accused her of plagiarism. Well, we're like the top kids of the school or whatever, so she was totally shocked when she got a zero on the paper. THe teacher thought she was like a slacker, etc. And you cant blame her, she doesnt know the students, etc. However, the teacher reviewed it and rescored her paper, saying she didnt plagiarize. It been like 5 weeks, though, and my friend spends three hours perfecting a paragraph so that the teacher will think better of her. She says that even if the teacher forgives her, it won't matter, her "eye will forget but her heart will recall" etc. She cries 30 min-2hours a day over it, and calls people and cries to them b/c she is so horrified that fact. She says she wants to kill herself in IMs. helllp?
