The situation

The homework was to write your own short story. But over the weekend, a kid found one online and shared it in the group chat, and now half the class is copying bits of it, changing a few words, and handing it in as their own. "Everyone's doing it," they say. "The teacher won't know. Don't be the only one who actually wrote yours." You did write your own. It took ages and it's not as good as the polished online one. Now you're being made to feel silly for doing the actual work, like you missed the obvious shortcut. Handing in yours means a worse story than everyone else's "amazing" ones. Handing in theirs means it's not yours at all.
