It can help but many do fine without one.

I think it does. I wrote in a journal for years and sometimes it would take weeks before I could get the pattern of what was going on but a journal gave me insight into me; better than a close friend or a therapist.

I think so. It helps you vent your thoughts and feelings and you can also learn more about yourself by reading it.

I don’t know but I can read my journal entries from when I was 13 and remember my mind set and see how far I’ve come from thinking

"bobby is so La-AME I’m so glad I didn’t let him eat my last french fry and…." me at 13

Yes, because you can look back at it and see if you are heading towards your goals in life or if you have allowed yourself to be sidetracked. It helps to write things down so it is more concrete. Give it a shot and see what happens!
