what up NS.
im a senior in highschool and im taking a mandatory Participation in Government class. i have a 15 page research paper due pretty soon here that i really dont want to do. i have so many other classes to deal with that i dont have time to do this. the only problem is that i need to pass this PiG class to graduate. i suck at writing, like fucking seriously i write on a 6th grade level. the essay is on gambling in New York state.
heres the deal, i have a flash drive full of all this kids files that did the same topic as me. unfortunately he had the same teacher and it was only one semester ago. i have all the sources printed out from him and everything but i suck at writing this shit.
i see it that i have a few options
1. actually write the paper(not going to happen)
2. paraphrase his and put it in my own words
3. hire someone to do it(risky)
basically im trying to find out how risky it would be to just paraphrase his and turn it in. he already said i could do it so i have his ok and i would use like 1 or 2 different sources so it looks kinda legit
thoughts?

what are the consequences for plagiarism and how likely is it that the teacher will recognize it?

plagiarism is an automatic 0 but she only checks by googling some random sentences. the teacher is a retard but she is the kind of teacher that has saved a copy of every essay ever submitted. im thinking that i will use his general outline and change it quite a bit, still easier than writing it.

you don't get better at something by avoiding it.

If you can't do it, you don't deserve the marks for it. Move into an easier academic path. Don't plagiarize, it will not do you any good.

just use his outline and go from that. dont paraphrase though. Odds are she wont even read all of it and even if she does, she wont stop in the middle and say "wow, this seems similar to a paper i read 5 months ago" and then go and check all her saved papers comparing them to yours...

if your that desperate use his as just an outline, but still look through the sources so that you can all but rewrite his... change up structure and whatnot and make it seem like its written somehwere around the level you right at... but your only fucking yourself

Dude what are you so worried about, you have it all done by having your friends paper. So 1 turn his same one in and say the two magic words Fuck It! Or 2 just rewrite his in your own words, ive been there ive done that, it always works. My advise tho, just turn his in why waste your time when you have it done, just go kick it with the homies and burn one.
