i started writing my diary aged about 14. i usually write in it when something significant (good or bad) happens in my life. or when i feel like my mind is getting so crowded with thoughts, that i need to think a little clearer. writing down all these thoughts really does help me! my first diary was a gift from my Godmother and it`s one of the best gifts i have ever been given. i am a little disturbed by stories of parents reading thier childrens diaries. surely every one is entitled to a little privacy?!
