Taken from cumaeansybil

Yes, this is cruel. But you know what? If it teaches her not to be so stupid in the future, it's worth it. Plagiarism is a crime. Cheating is dishonest, and if you're going to either, you should at least be intelligent enough not to go about it in this stupid fashion, randomly contacting people you don't know.

So the lessons to take from this are as follows:

1. Don't cheat
2. Don't give personal information to strangers online

I agree. I don't think posting unverified personal information was the right thing to do, but the people complaining about the rest of it really get my goat. As a university student with half an eye on the cut-throat world of grad school admission, little disgusts me more than the people who see no problem in plagiarising or buying a term paper when some of us spend the requisite week(s) of research and late nights to produce some work of original thought. Putting grades aside, attitudes like this girl's spit in the face of the academic world as we know it.
