I might have ruined my entire career

So I was talking my English midterm final. I’m a freshman in high school and I was stuck on a question. I looked it up on google and a website came up so when I tried clicking on it, ContentKeeper came up. It said “restricted, blah blah, ACADEMIC FRAUD” it had my IP address, time stamp, EVERYTHING. I haven’t received an email or anything. I’ve never gotten in trouble before but if I do get caught for cheating what should I say to minimize the damage?

Admit to it, take the punishment and don’t do it again. You’re a freshman and plenty of time for redemption. But learn your lesson. Cheating is rampant with virtual learning which of course doesn’t make it right and the best thing anyone can do is LEARN from doing something stupid. Everyone makes mistakes; it’s what you do going forward that matters.

what career did you ruin?

mine💀

Schools use contentkeeper to prevent access to some websites and keep track of your browsing history. You haven’t ruined your career.

“what” career?", not “whose career?”. What career do you have that is now ruined?

Life is not over because you cheated on a test. Own it. Be honest about. Talk to your professor about precisely what happened, why what you did was wrong, and why you will accept the consequences. Odds are that he or she will think more of you. Remember, there is little in life that cannot be fixed (except a missed statute of limitations in law). The key issue is being honest and accepting your role in what led to the issue in the first place. Your “career” isn’t over. It hasn’t even started yet.

Trying to cheat is bad, but it sounds like you failed to cheat on a test. Wait to see what happens next.

lmao this is why you use another browser when looking things up or something called your phone dumb. Your fault your going to have an infraction for cheating on a test L.
