Lots of people, especially beginners, copy and paste a lot of code. Just about everyone's done it, and it's a great way to get started and get something that works, but the resulting code can be brittle and hard to maintain because you've got the same or similar logic spread out everywhere. Classes and OO are tools, but they don't insure against bad coding practices.
You'll hear the term "refactoring" a lot. Look it up, and get to know what it means. It's how you get from the kind of spaghetti I was describing to high-quality, DRY code.
