Tips for keeping your diary private and fun

• Keep it simple. A few lines a day is enough. You do not have to fill a page.
• Make it yours. Use stickers, colored pens and drawings in a paper diary. Online, try a fun title for each page.
• Keep it private. A diary with a lock, a hidden spot, or an online diary with a PIN helps. Read about a secret diary for ideas.
• Stay safe online. Do not post diary pages with your full name, school or address. Your diary is just for you.
• Be kind to yourself. Write about mistakes like you would talk to your best friend.
