sorry but I disagree ....heres why...

what is a teenybopper diary....a place where teens are writing down what they did that day, their thoughts, secrets, who they like who they dont like, sometimes even when they notice their moods, or other health symptoms...

example of my teenybopper diary.....
dang it I hate that marysue she always has the best clothes and always acts like she's queen snot with that nose up in the air, I cant help it if I get the hand me downs from beth. just once I wish beth would rip out her clothes so I wouldnt have to wear them too. Hey I got a hundred on the geography test today, the only one that did so cool. my nick name may be whiz kid but at least its not snot rag like marysue. tomorrow I see caroline and Dr. beecher. I hope he takes me off my prozac that stuff makes me so tired. I have to remember to tell caroline about what the voices said today in gym class....

what is an adult journal....a place for adults to write down what they did that day, their thoughts,things they wouldnt tell anyone else, who they like who they dont like, sometimes even their moods, health symptoms.....

Example of my adult journal....wow am I glad today is over. one of these days Im going to just hall off and smack that B..... every single day she waits until we are at our busiest and then see you all later I have to do this or that now. just once I would like her to have to deal with even half of my schedule. but alas this isnt a perfect world. At least my meds are working again, it was getting quite frustrating to hear that psychotic voice. my wife and I will be going to see cuff me, fifty shades of grey cant wait to see it, supposed to be as funny as the V.... monologues. on monday we have a test in one of my classes, i hope I pass, its going to be a hit or miss since I havent had much time to study this past week...

my point is yes the two diaries have slight difference as in language/wording/ because of the writers age but whether its called a journal or diary, childs or adults...its still a place to write down ones thoughts, activities and anything else the person chooses to write down in what ever writing styles the person writing chooses.
