Girls aged 12 to 14 need a personal diary to learn how to express their thoughts on paper. By inventing themes and decorations for filling the notebook, teenagers develop their imagination and creative thinking. Before starting a personal diary, you need to learn how to keep it correctly, what to write about, and consider several ideas that will help you beautifully design the pages.

How to Keep a Personal Diary

A personal diary can be made from any notebook or notepad, but before you go to the store, you need to decide when and where to fill it out. If you want to be able to share your impressions at any time, you should choose a small notebook that will easily fit in a bag or school bag.

Such a diary should be small and light, so that it is convenient to carry. It is better to give preference to a notebook with a sturdy cover. It will not wrinkle when you need to put something else in your bag. A daily planner or notebook of any size will do for a home diary.

The cover can be decorated with stickers or beautiful inscriptions, then you will want to take the diary in your hands more often and regularly make notes in it. Then, you should come up with the contents of the diary. You can make daily notes about the past day, make plans, share personal experiences and keep secrets.

Topics for a personal diary for a girl

Topics for LD can be different. For convenience, you need to divide the notebook into several parts, for example, 10 pages for 1 topic, 10 pages for another, and leave the remaining sheets for daily notes. In the table, you can consider several options for topics for a personal diary and a short description of how to design them.

Interests	3-4 pages will be enough for this section. There you can talk about your favorite music, movies and hobbies.
Plans	In this section you can ask yourself questions and answer them, for example: "Who do I see myself as in 5 years? Where will I work, where will I go to study?" You can also plan things for a year, a month or a week. In this case, the page with the list will be new each time. That is, it should be placed among the daily entries when the time comes.
Dreams and desires	After a certain period of time, new pages need to be made.
Social networks	On 1-2 sheets you can write down logins and passwords from different social networks so as not to forget. However, the diary with such information should not fall into the hands of other people. They can use this data for their own purposes.
Secrets	In a personal diary you can tell things you don't want to tell your friends and family. Here you can confess your love or hate, talk about personal secrets and plans.
Music and movies	Usually such information is placed in the "interests" section, but sometimes the lists of favorite films and songs are large. In this case, several additional sheets can be allocated for these entries.
Expenses	If parents give pocket money, then such a page will be useful. It is necessary to control your expenses and manage finances correctly.
Favorite food or recipes	Girls are often interested in cooking. You can write down recipes for your favorite dishes in a personal diary.
Phones, social networks and birthdays of friends	Sometimes gadgets break and all the information stored in them disappears, so a page with friends' phone numbers will be useful.

The number of sections in the diary depends on personal interests and preferences. The remaining pages of the notebook should be left for regular entries. They can be made every day or every week.

The diary can be filled out using a template, for example:

• What made me happy today/this week?
• What upset you?
• What event do you remember the most?
• What needs to be done tomorrow/next week?
• What did I learn today?

You can write in a diary without any particular order. Often people write as if they were writing a letter to their best friend. This makes it much easier to start stories. Instead of a name, they usually use the address "dear diary", for example: "Dear diary! Today was a great day for me!"

Best Front Page Design Ideas

Ideas for LD (for girls aged 12-14, it is important to learn that you cannot indicate your home address in your diary, because a lost notebook can be found by a person with bad intentions) in terms of the design of the first page, are built on one principle.

There should be brief information about the owner of the notebook so that in case of loss, the person who finds the diary can return it.Most often, this page is designed as a questionnaire. So that the person who finds the notebook does not have to search for information for a long time, you need to title each line.

Example:

• This diary belongs to: name, surname;
• my phone number: mobile number;
• my email: email address;
• I study in class (for example, 7 "A") at school (write the number or name of the institution);
• You can find me on (social network name and login).

This information is sufficient to return the diary to its owner if it is lost.Information about yourself can be presented in the form of a short story.

Example: "Hello! My name is Petrova Masha. I am 13 years old, I am in the 7th grade. This is my personal diary, since you have it now, it means I have lost this notebook. I would be very grateful if you could return it to me.

Call me (indicate phone number) or write to e-mail (indicate e-mail address)". At the end of the story, you can politely ask the finder not to look at the notes."

If the cover of the notebook is equipped with a special lock, then the finder will not be able to open such a diary. In this case, you should stick a sticker on the binding and indicate your name and phone number on it.

Drawings and pictures

Drawings can reflect the meaning of what is said or have a decorative function. It is better to draw in the diary with pencils or colored pens. You can use felt-tip pens only if the pages of the notebook are thick enough.

Sometimes the coloring pigment of markers soaks through the paper and the drawing is printed on the other side of the sheet, and even on the next 2-4 pages.Paints also need to be used with caution.

To avoid damaging the next sheets, place a piece of thick cardboard under the page where the drawing will be applied. After coloring the drawing, it must be dried well, otherwise the pages will stick together and it will be impossible to separate them without damage.

Poetry

Ideas for LD (for girls aged 12-14, writing poetry is useful, because this skill helps develop thinking and memory) with the design of poems can be divided into 2 main types: poems you like and poems of your own composition.

In the first case, you can set aside a special section in your diary and call it: "my favorite poems." You can write down your favorite works with colored pens. It is advisable to indicate the author and the title of the poem. You can also tell why this or that poem attracted your attention.

Next, you need to write the work itself, and below you can tell what feelings prompted you to write it and what this verse is about.

It is not necessary to make these notes by hand. Poems can be printed out, then cut out and pasted into a diary. To make the edges of the cutout look nice, they should be outlined with markers or colored pens, depicting a frame.

Quotes

Quotes often accompany regular entries. Their meaning should resonate with the subsequent story. If the day was bad, then you can start the entry with a quote: "There are moments when you can't see tears in your eyes, but there are a sea of ​​them in your soul."

Conversely, you can describe a good day by starting with this statement: “There is something great in every minute, like happiness.” If you can’t come up with a quote, you can use ready-made notes.

Examples of quotes about happiness:

• There are no completely happy lives, but there are completely happy days.
• There is no path to happiness, because the path is happiness.
• We are always kind when we are happy.
• Happiness is where there is mom and cat.

• It hurts - my heart whispered. You will soon forget - said the future.
• It's not scary to be alone. It's scary to be misunderstood.
• We cannot understand the suffering of others until we drink our own tears.
• I'll survive this too. Time heals.

Quotes about friendship:

• True friends are known in misfortunes.
• A sister may not always be a friend, but a friend is always like a sister.
• When you are everyone's friend, you are no one's friend.
• Unhappy people have no friends.

According to the rules, quotes are written in the upper right corner of the page, in quotation marks and in lowercase letters. You can also indicate the author of the statement, if he is known. You can write down your own thoughts in the form of quotes. Sometimes people make special sections in their personal diaries where they quote themselves.

Decorations

Girls aged 12-14 can use stickers and magazine cutouts to decorate their personal diary.

If you have a printer at home, you can print out pictures, cut them out and glue them to the diary sheets using office glue. Before closing the diary, you will need to make sure that the glue is completely dry, otherwise the notebook sheets will stick together.

To store small mementos, you can glue small pockets to the pages of your diary. To do this, you need to cut a small rectangle out of cardboard, coat its 3 sides with glue and press it onto a sheet of notebook paper.

Now you can hide a letter for a friend, a foreign coin or a movie ticket there. You can illustrate your ideas and plans with printed photos. Draw patterns around each photo and write captions with colored pens.
