    I was just wondering as I do. If so would you mind answering these questions?: 1. How old are you? 2. How often/much do you write? 3. Why do you keep one?

    Thank you ! x

    1. I'm fifteen, sixteen in about a week.

    2. I a write about a paragraph or two, basically every day.

    3. I write it so I can look back and read about exactly how I felt at different points in my life.

    1. I'm 15 2. I write 2 pages, front to back in the journal. 3. I like to write in it because i like to express what i feel or what has happend to me. Also, because i like to look back and read previous entry's and it helps me "re-live" what happend. (:

    I'm 21... I do have a journal, but I've always had trouble writing every day... or even once a week... or month. But, I don't know why I don't just force myself to do it. Because my journal from high school is like my most prized possession. You forget all the little things when you don't have them written down, and I look back now and can see and remember how everything felt. So, yeah, I WISH I was better about keeping a diary... maybe I'll start today.

    1. I am 15! 2. I don't write that often... only if I want to vent out my feelings, or something memorable happened... I haven't written in a while tbh, but I only write when I want to. I find it pointless writing in it every day... it wouldn't feel special then! 3. I keep one to keep a memory of the past. Imagine something happening in your life, that you felt such happiness, such wonder over? And then you forget it? How terrible would that be? That's why I keep a diary. I also keep it because it's a lovely way of letting go of everything inside of you, and when you read over it, it always brings a smile to my face. It's like you see yourself grow up, but through your own eyes... Like when I went on holidays two years back.. I wrote all through the aeroplane and waiting area... so fun reading over it now!

    Haha, I wan't to write in it now! xo0ox

    I used to keep journals. I had probably about two-three of them, before I went on a anger spree and tore them to shreds, haha. Temper, temper. That was a long time ago, though, around three years ago.

    Now, whenever I do write in a journal, its just a few paragraphs here and there, a combination of my poetry and diary entries. :P

    I'm 18. I tried to start writing one a long time ago but I got frustrated since most of my family members have no notion of privacy -_-
    Looking back, I wish I'd continued since there are a lot of fond memories I wish I could relive. I could start now but I've been too busy with so much stuff that I can't find the time

    I'm 14 years old and I've been keeping a diary since I was around seven. But up until I was ten, it was usually just about what I did that day, with lots of pictures and smiley faces and very little detail. Hey, I got bored. :) I write every day, just about, sometimes I miss a day. I write to vent, lay my feelings out and get them in order, really. So when I get older I could look back and see how I felt about a certain situation, my encounters with annoying people, strange teachers, friends and such, because everything else seems much too shallow...I'm not one for small talk, I like the whole picture and story, you know? Maybe I should stop now...I can discuss this with my diary.... And my diary has a name! Am I weird because of it? Maybe. But who isn't?

    I'm 15... turning 16 soon-ish :D I used to keep one, but I had so many different journals and I lost all of them :/

    Now I wish I had done it more and that I still had one... it would be interesting to look back on it later :D lol Every now and then I find some of my old school books, and we had to Diary entries in those. It interesting haha At the moment I'm writing a blog... but I guess that's not really the same lol

    I'm 15, been keeping it since I was 13

    I write whenever I want to rant/ if something happens which is usually about 3/4 times a week

    I keep it because I don't want to ever forget anything and because it helps control my emotions

    I keep one, more of a journal then a diary though. I just use it to vent when bad stuff happens, I don't really write the good stuff, I just enjoy the good. I write when I want, sometimes pages, sometimes nothing. I'm a teenager too.

    @uniquezz01 I had a diary just make me upset and feels like a waste of time when I was younger. Now I swear by it and don't know what I'd do without a journal.

    I'm 12 I write about 1 page, but the max I write is about 2 pages. I write so when I am about 19 I can laugh at what I spell wrong and what my emotions were at the time.

    I'm 13, and I recently started writing something similar to a diary. It's an autobiography I guess, I posted it up here today actually. No reads so far, but that's fine with me. I've tried keeping diaries in the past but failed, I managed to keep a successful one when i was 7, I think that's about it.

    I'm 17 years old. I write everyday. I love to take down notes and keywords that will remind me of what happened that day. I keep a diary to have something 'laughable' in the future :))
