Teen boys Journal too.
My Nephew turns 16 today.
I am very big on early literacy and have always made trips to the library and bought books for him and his sister every holiday. (In addition to their other gifts.)
I have been making him journals with prompts for 2 years. He tells me he writes in them every night and sometimes more when he is feeling frustrated. He keeps them in a lockbox under his bed to ensure his privacy. Today I made him this one.
I added prompts to every page using my printer and full page sticker labels.
I tried to use topics that a teenager could relate to
I also included a little encouraging note on the back cover for him to remember just how much he is loved <3
These books are pretty inexpensive to make and you can find journal topics all over the internet that are age appropriate. I love that they able to be personalized.
I love that he writes, it makes me feel that my encouragement has influenced him to be a man who is in touch with his feelings. He is a high school football player with a hard body and a soft heart.

howdy from Texas @hezziebees! hey I like your post, what a great idea for a kid who is actually keeping a journal! what part of Ohio do you live? my wife and I moved down here a few years ago from Akron.
Akron is about an hour and a half away. We are close to Steubenville. About 40mins from Pittsburgh, but we still say yinz ;)
howdy there @hezziebees! ha! yes.. hey I was wondering about your username, you guys raise bees?
I had bees but I need to get more, my hives are here and set up. I am called "Hezzie" by all the kids in my life even though my name is heather. My husbands name starts with B, and since I am a beekeeper it kinda worked. How about yours?
howdy this fine Saturday @hezziebees! so you guys sell honey? and what happens to the bees during the long winters up there?
what about my username? oh mine is so boring, I see everyone has these real clever and interesting usernames and mine is just my first name initial and my last name. snooze.
