For more than two years Anne Frank describes her daily life in hiding in her diary. As Anne and her family were deprived of the freedom to do as they wish, Anne occupied her time by writing, starting a diary that would keep her legacy alive long after the horrors of the Holocaust had ended. The image of Anne Frank depicted in her diary relate to the common teenage struggles, as she stands out so much because her personality is genuinely captured through the words of her diary, as she was a remarkably skillful writer while she was only thirteen to fifteen years old in hiding from the Nazis.

My life growing up and my parent’s lives growing up are completely different. Since they were already a teenager and know what it's like, they try to enforce me not to make the same mistakes they did so I can learn from them and so I will do a better job than they did.
