A former friend of mine copied my work and I got more punishment........?

A few weeks ago I was helping a so called friend out with some homework. Instead of her just referring to mine if needed, she just uploaded what I sent her as her own. Well of course the instructor caught it and we got in trouble. I had no idea that she was doing this. It happened 5 separate times. Well we both got 0s on the work and put on academic probation. This is college by the way. Well I thought it was over. Last week I got called in again and I lost my scholarship because she was too stupid to do her own work. I was only trying to help and she has not spoken to me since, even after learning that my scholarship was taken. She did not have one so she did not get any more punishment. Now until I pay the balance I will not be able to receive my degree. I only have a few weeks left of class. I do not think this is right. I was the straight A student until this happened. She will get to have her degree on the day of graduation. Can anyone offer any suggestions on what I can do? The school has already said that even if I appeal it I wont be able to get it back. They said they understand my situation and are sorry for it but it is a hard lesson to learn. Now I am in the hole $2,500 and I think she should be the one to pay it. Does anyone think the school will go for this? I plan on talking with them again tomorrow. Any insight will help.

    Go talk to a counselor. Go from there. If your counselor can't or won't help, go to another one. If you're pushy and resilient, you'll get help. Good luck! And this is no friend AT ALL whatsoever. Something like this happened to me in 7th grade and we both got detention for a week and she literally did everything she could to apologize for the rest of the school year. She felt awful. And we were 12... Stay away from that girl.

    Neither you or her is sufficiently old to have a motor vehicle. Get a existence and want you in no way eat too many twinkies. in case you may want to tell a lady who easily easily should be acquaintances with you to buzz off in order that that you'll protect a temporary universal status with those who you received't even recognize 10 years from now then you definitely deserve the turn of the wheel that you receives. i recognize your moms and dads/guardians raised you higher efficient than that ?!
