These journal prompts for teens are perfect for self-discovery!

Teenagers face so many challenges, and difficult choices, but developing self-awareness can be an antidote to the craziness. Some would even say it’s therapeutic!

Self-Discovery Through Journaling

Journaling is possibly the best tool there is for getting to know yourself better. It helps you slow down, and reflect on what’s been running through your mind. When you consolidate all those bits and pieces, it helps you discover the patterns and themes in your life. 

Once you’ve made these self-discoveries, then you can take action on them. And because of that, journaling is a great first step towards personal growth!

Why Use Journal Prompts for Teens?

There is so much development happening in high school. Academic, physical, social and personal growth are all co-occurring. Journaling helps teens (and everyone) to be mindful of these changes, and purposeful about the direction your life is heading.

Using journal prompts can be helpful to avoid the fear of staring at a blank piece of paper. You can even use these journal prompts to keep an ‘audio journal’ where you make voice-recordings!

Journaling for teens is nice because it respects their privacy. You can be a lot more open about what’s happening to you when you’re not worried about the judgment of what someone else will think. After all, the whole point of journaling is that you’re still figuring it out!
