Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his or her daily life, he or she might write them in the diary. However, now a teenager with the same problems might go online and write them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. They both tell what happened to the writer that day. So what makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is for much more people to read than a diary. When I was my sister’s age, I wrote about the same things in my diary. And I would put my diary in a safe place because I was afraid that others might read it.
Now people choose to write in blogs because they know their friends will read what they write. If my sister writes in her blog “Nobody cares about me”, her best friends will quickly read and tell her how much they like her.
If people are caring about what they write, blogs are a very good way to write about the everyday life. However, I still like my old diary better.
