I am a high school student and I turned in a very well written essay on paper. What do I do now if I am afraid that my teacher can plagiarize it?

  1. Your work is protected by copyright. If someone should take it and use it without permission, regardless of whether they take credit, you could easily object. If the content is placed online, you can do a takedown notice. Notice and take down
  2. You can make your own website and put the essay there. You can put it on your Facebook account. Make a free blog on WordPress.com: Create a free website or blog if you like. You can also make a scribd account, turn it into a pdf and put it there. But make sure it is very clear it is your content so you don’t get accused of plagiarising someone else’s work if the school uses software to find plagiarism by searching online. And by the way, computer forensics would also show when you created the essay, if it comes to that.
  3. But I have to say something. Come on dude/dudette. No high school teacher is going to steal your essay. Think logically here. I am not saying a teacher has never stolen a poem or a short story. I am sure it has happened. But it is extremely unlikely. And even more unlikely for some essay a high school student wrote in her class. An assignment she handed out in front of everyone. Especially given the whole forensics thing I mention in 2.
