Ok, so I got a detention and I don't think it is fair, what do you think?
I got a detention today for plagiarism on my paper, but It's only because I didn't cite it. I didn't cite it because I thought I changed it enough from the original. I went back and checked, and I saw I only had a few exact sentences and the main idea taken. I don't think this is fair because the teachers are supposed to be teaching us how to cite. I'm and 8th grader btw. Anyway, I'm also a straight A student so my parents hate me, but I never MEANT to plagiarize.

Okay so today you learned a good lesson, and all it cost you was one little detention. One detention is not a heavy sentence, get over it and move forward. Blaming your teachers for your mistakes won't win you any points either, learn to accept your responsibilities and be accountable for your actions. Oh and by the way ... telling us that your parents "hate " you - really, really makes you sound like a petty little drama queen.

What do I think? I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill. I dread to think how you will react when you encounter something that REALLY isn't fair.

Detention is never fair, why should a school be allowed to stop you from going home. Suspension and expulsion are fair however, its basically saying, "you don't have to go home but you can't stay here."

Take it as a lesson learned and move on. You got just a lesson from your teacher on how NOT to cite. You made a mistake, but that doesn't mean you don't have to pay for your mistakes. And I'm pretty sure your parents don't hate you.
