Money causes people to lose their sense of direction. They'll tend to side money more than anything else that matters in their world, probably even death. Maybe because with money, they wouldn't die?

All I can say is that money in these days prevent people from their good-nurtured sides.

For example, being a teacher means you're having a stable job and income. In this case, the teacher will tend to direct towards the money and not on the passion towards teaching. Hence, students will suffer eventually.

Personally, I think diaries are a form of privacy to store your personal details. If my parents were to read mine, I guess, I'll flare up. To me, parents just have to spend more time to know what their children are thinking nowadays.

In this 21st century, I think children are more open to discussion. Children will tend to speak what they are suppose to say and the rest, will be kept secret. Because they don't want anyone to know, they then write their thoughts out in a diary.

In addition, I think it's really rude of parents (no offense) to intrude into their children's privacy just to get to know them better. If that's the case, then I think the problem actually lies with the parents as the parents are not doing the job well enough to get their children to interact with them.
