 PLAGIARISM

Sarah copies large portions of John's essay, making only minor changes to the wording. She submits the essay as her own, believing it's acceptable since she got permission from John. However, this is still plagiarism.

Even if you're feeling overwhelmed, it's essential to write your own essay. Use your friend's essay as inspiration, but never copy it.

PARAPHRASING

David submits his paper, confident he has avoided plagiarism. However, his paraphrasing is so close to the original text that it is still considered plagiarism.

Before paraphrasing, make sure you fully understand the concept you're trying to explain.

COPYRIGHT

You're writing a research paper and use a paragraph from a journal article without citing the source properly. This is plagiarism, which is a form of copyright infringement.

Always cite the sources you use in your academic work, using the appropriate citation style.

INTERNET ADDICTION

Mark, a high school student, is passionate about online gaming. He spends hours each day playing, often neglecting his homework, extracurricular activities, and even basic self-care. He's withdrawn from his friends and family, and his grades are slipping. His parents are worried and have tried to limit his gaming time, but he becomes angry and defiant.

Establish clear rules and limits for gaming time. This might involve setting a specific time limit each day or week, and sticking to it consistently.

CYBER BULLYING

The Situation: Sarah, a 14-year-old, is part of a popular online group chat with her friends. One day, a new girl, Emily, joins the group. A few of the girls in the chat start posting embarrassing photos of Emily from her social media, making fun of her appearance, and spreading rumors about her. Sarah doesn't participate in the bullying, but she doesn't say anything to stop it either.

Cyberbullying is a serious issue that can have devastating consequences for victims.

It's important to recognize and address cyberbullying, even if you're not the one directly involved.
