All About Me Memory Book

• Many memory books include photos of other people---friends and family---and events. This book's focus is all about you and capturing your lifestyle, likes and dislikes and what's important to you. Begin the book by including information such as your name, age, height, city, school and grade. Jot down a little about your family.
  
  Write about what makes you unique. Who are your favorite musicians and what songs are on your current playlist? What are you good at? If you have a special hobby, play an instrument or participate in a sport, journal about it and include photos. Where do you like to hang out? What websites are your favorites? What are the passions in your life right now? Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years? Give the future you a glimpse into who you are now.
  
  

Hanging Out with the Crew Memory Book

• Your friends are no doubt a big part of your life, and this memory book will capture the special people in your life. In addition to school classmates, don't forget to include people from outside activities---friends who belong to the same clubs, sports teams, carpools and church groups. This book is not relegated to just teens; you also can include adults whose company you enjoy, such as teachers, coaches, and other mentors. You might want to incorporate your siblings into the book.
  
  Assign one to two pages per person and include photos of that person, if possible. Write about how you met this friend and what he or she means to you. What are the quirks that make this person stand out? What do you admire about this friend? What activities do you do together? Quote something the person says often. You might want to incorporate a blank area on the page, and invite your friend to jot a comment.
  
  

My Style Book

• Teens have their own trendy style, and this memory book will record your fashion tastes during this season in your life. Take photos of your favorite outfits, either on a hanger or on you. Write about how you choose clothes, what your favorite colors and brands are and how you would define your style. What do you like to wear on a date? Where do you like to shop? What kinds of shoes do you prefer? Tear out magazine fashion ads that depict your style and include clips in the album. For a fun embellishment, staple or glue clothing tags to the pages.
  
  

Words to Remember Book

• Chances are you don't give much thought to the words you use, but in later years you will look back and find humor in the slang, jargon and lingo of your teen years. Create a memory book to remember your favorite phrases and quotes. Instead of writing them down randomly, organize them with separate sections: "Things I Say All the Time," "What I Say When I'm Happy," "What I Say When I'm Sad," "What My Friends Say to Me," and "Favorite Quotes from TV Shows." Music is a big part of a teen's life, so include the lyrics of your favorite songs. How about the things your mom and dad say? You might groan when they dispense parental wisdom, but one day the words they shared with you during your teen years will be remembered and appreciated.
