I was accused by my 7th grade English teacher of plagiarism. I was a slacker student and we were submitting poetry to this periodical that Princeton University published of middle school poetry and my teacher couldn’t believe what I wrote and accused me of having a student who payed attention of writing it. It was eventually determined that it wasn’t plagiarized and was the only poem from my school which was accepted but the whole thing left an indelible mark on my soul. Oddly, the teacher contacted me like 15+ years later asking what I was up to, telling me that I was one of his favorite students etc.

I hate that shit. Backhanded guilt because they know they were wrong. But at least you finally got the respect you deserved.

I wish but I burned everything in high school and forget why. The poem was about the poet Shelley as I use to go into the woods and read his poetry and laten to The Cure 
Never wrote anything notable after that as I sort of lost my mojo.

That would be fun 
maybe I should get my pen out and write a poem about writing a poem as a tween and being accused of plagiarism. It’s bizarre how much crap we hold onto which holds us back. I’m sure everyone here has some comparable story about someone trying to crush our spirit in adolescence. Anyways, didn’t mean to hijack the thread but whenever I hear the word that’s what I think of,

Thats what I mean! Thank you. I had family always bringing me down… then I made the terrible decision to walk away, and my life changed dramatically for the better… would have never got into music and art with out getting away from all that negativity.
Now I create everyday. Its beautiful! (The experience, not the tracks, lets be real.)

I often wonder if the recorder is used at schools to dissuade the majority from pursuing music as an active interest.
They just want drones.
I should have put - “a Jay Z diss thread” in the title but then he might have me wacked.
