There are many benefits of journaling for Middle School kids/teenager.They can use them for many things but, there are three main things Middle Schoolers use journals for.
One benefit is for Thoughts and Emotions.Teens can write down things that trouble them, and write down their emotions so they can keep their thoughts in track. Kids that don't want to tell their parents how their day was can write it down in a Feelings Journal.Without a Feelings Journal some kids can get stressed and will have to find another way to express their feelings.
A Math/Science Journal is a journal a teen can use to write down Math formulas, science problems, and notes teens can look back on for future study.Teens often use it as a study guide so they can be prepared for upcoming tests.It can also be used to improve on mistakes and problems. They can be very useful for school.
The last benefit of a Journal is about time. Teens can use it to plan things and to start a schelduele. You can write specific dates and make a calender. A Time Journal is good for all of that. Use it for making plans and always be ahead of schelduele.
