Did you ever pay someone else to write a college essay or paper for you?

Awhile ago, I was surfing around the Internet and came upon a site that practically guarantees to produce an original college essay (for a fee of course!) in less than six hours. And, I thought how convenient! And, then my mind flashed back to all those times when I've heard of friends who have paid someone else to write a college essay and got found out. Of course some got in really big trouble.
Did you ever pay someone else to write a college essay or term paper when you were in college? Did anyone find out that you were not the original author? If you had to do it all over again, would you take the same risk of being found out and expelled?

Of course I didn't pay anyone to write my paper! I plagerized it like any other hard working college student! HA HA HA!!!
Seriously, no, I didn't pay or write for anyone else. I spent hours and hours in the library researching my papers. I did learn some facinating things. My favorite topic was on the Grimm brothers (fairy tale authors.) I learned some scary things about those two.

No way, would never do that. I would feel too guilty if I did even attempt something like that. Sorry I;m chicken when it comes to being dishonest.

Hello Beautyqueen26,
No, I have never done this. Nor would I ever do so. To accept credit for another's work, without giving them the appropriate credit is plagiarism & cheating. I would rather get a 'F' on my own submission than an 'A' for someone else's work. One cannot possibly master the subject matter if they don't bend their own mind around the material.
As expensive as college is, I cannot begin to imagine the foolishness that would prompt someone to cheat themselves out of their own education.

No, I've never had anyone write anything for me, and I wouldn't want them too. If it has my name on it, I want to make sure it is of great quality, LOL. Now days with all the plagiarism tools professors have, it is hard to NOT get caught. I'm sure it won't stop people from trying though.
