The Degrassi Diaries
Introduction
For a school project promoting "English excellence", every student in Degrassi must keep a diary of their innermost thoughts and every day happenings. The Degrassi Diaries take a look into the minds of Jimmy Brooks, Emma Nelson, Sean Cameron, Manny Santos, Craig Manning, Ellie Nash, Marco Del Rossi, and Paige Michalchuk.
"I don't think anyone will know me as anything other than Mr. Popularity. The rich kid, the basketball star. Worst of all, I have this fear that no matter what, I'm never going to fall in love or be loved in return." – Jimmy Brooks
"To be anything other than what I am would be a complete and total relief. Going one day without slicing my wrist open would be a total relief. Having my best friend love me instead of the senior hockey star would be a relief. Not existing would be a relief." – Ellie Nash
"I'm not just about saving the planet. There are other parts of me. I'm just not sure if I should let anyone see them. But deep down, I have a desire to be bad. I do. It's just that I'm afraid to be anything other than what I already am." – Emma Nelson
"Surviving one relationship is hard enough, but juggling two? At the same time? Damn near impossible. I don't know how I do it some days. I don't know how I live with myself some days, knowing that I am utter and complete scum. I screw around and play with people's emotions, only this time it's gotten me in way over my head." – Craig Manning
"It's so easy to blame things on me. A vending machine gets knocked over, someone loses their job, someone gets their feelings hurt, someone loses their kids to child services. Not everything is my fault, but no matter what it is, just call on me, the whipping boy." – Sean Cameron
"I live in constant fear every day of wearing something that shows way too much skin and convinces another guy it's okay to take from me what I can never get back. Even with my own boyfriend. Hugging him is a strain. Making out is a battle. And sex, if I ever feel like I can take that leap? It's going to be the Armageddon." – Paige Michalchuk "As if I can change the person I am inside. Something's always been not quite right with me, and I finally have figured out what it is. And now that I've figured it out, I'm pissing off a lot of people." – Marco Del Rossi
No one really wanted to do the Degrassi Diary project in the first place, but no one imagined a school project could them give such insights into themselves...and each other.
