1. Unethical. Using someone else's work as your own without giving them any sort of credit is the same as stealing.
2. Diminishes credibility. If you repeatedly plagiarize than people are going to stop believing that the things you say are your own thoughts and ideas.
3. Serious penalties. Most colleges will give an "F" on an assignment you plagiarize on and many will even expell you from the class. Some even go as far as expelling you from the school altogether.
4. Lost learning opportunity. The time spent on plagiarizing could've been spent on practicing various research methods.
