That will teach you being lazy!
You should do you work yourself and don't steal it from somebody else...

I think everyone else here has given you enough of their thought to teach you that plagiarism is not worth it.
But what is it that you are asking? Are you asking someone here who has been in the same situation before what happened to them and if they have a way to get out of being punished? Sadly - even if there is, it doesn't necessarily mean you could try the same.
I am sure your parents will be informed. But cop it sweet and learn from it. You WILL benefit from this later on in life. You might not feel it now but you and your parents will be proud and your self-esteem will soar when it is all over. You will end up a more mature and a better person for it.
GO! And plagiarise no more!

Yes many people have. It's called cheating. In the end, the person who loses the most is the cheater, because he didn't learn anything. What a waste of time! Your best bet is to discuss it openly with your parents and think about why it was a stupid thing to do. In most colleges, one incident would be enough to fail the course. In a really good college, you'd be thrown out. Nowadays it's a lot easier to catch plagiarism as people who cheater are fundamentally lazy and therefore don't work very hard at avoiding detection. So be smart - do the work and don't be a jerk.

See this tear! NOT. You've plaguarized many times before and never gotten caught, well shouldn't you be proud?
You'll probably get bounced from the college or university you are at and it will be on your transcript. If you're in hs , it will give you an incomplete or failure for the course and it will go on your hs record.
I get the impression you think you're the victim here. Get it straight kiddo you're no victim, you got caught and you 'll pay the consequences.
Cheaters never prosper but I get the impression you don't really care about that. Do I feel sorry for you. NO!!!!!

First, I would suggest you ask your teacher if you can do the work over for a lower grade (maybe up to a 70?). That will show her that you are willing to make up for your wrong.
Secondly, don't plagiarize anymore. Do your own work. That's part of having character.
Good luck!

My son did the same thing in high school and was caught. He got detention. I think it cured him. I hope it cures you. I'm sure since you are bright enough to know where to go for your information, you are smart enough to do the work on your own. My son isextremely smart but took a year or so off before he went on to college. Now that he is in school again he is a much better student.

No, because I actually do my work. Good luck repeating that class, because you get an auto-FAIL for that.
Plagiarism is Illegal, your Teacher has to tell your parents.

No because I write my own thoughts. Learn this lesson well!
