  24. Plagiarism is when you copy someone else's work without giving credit. Plagiarizing can ruin your future. If you are planning to go to college and you plagiarized, you have a likely chance to not be in that college. If you want to rewrite something, give credit to the real author or even better, write it in your own words. Make sure that when you rewrite, there are quotes at the beginning and end. If your an adult and you plagiarize, you could pay a fine or even go to jail. So next time you get information, try to write it in your own words.
