Q&A for How to Create a Burn Book

Of course! Simply start with a smaller composition notebook and glue on smaller letters.

Nope! You can make a Burn Book with a composition notebook full of lined paper, graph paper, or any other paper you'd like.

Yes, of course! A Burn Book can be used as a notebook to take notes in during class or to simply jot down quick memos or thoughts.

Well, it's your burn book and you can put whatever you want in it, but usually you'd only include people if you had something negative to say about them.

Since you could get in big trouble for the things you wrote in it, it would probably be a good idea. Consider getting a diary or journal with a lock already on it.

You can usually buy a blank book at a craft store or book store. They typically have nice diary/journal type books with all blank pages.

Because some people don't know how to express their feelings, and this could be a good way to do so.

Just throw that page away to make sure they never see it and no one else can get their hands on it.

Yes, for sure. Any book with sufficient space to write will work.

Of course you can, only it won't be a Burn Book, more like a Love Book or a Shine Bright Book. Write nice things instead. One neat idea is to write all the nice things you can possibly glean from people you hate and don't like. It might only be one single thing per person but what a fantastic way to force yourself to see the good in other people even though you can't abide them normally. Imagine if that were found, how surprised they'd all be!

I wouldn't recommend it because then you are pinning your punishment on someone who doesn't deserve it.

Go to an office supplies stationery store and buy a standard school exercise book. It should be less than $2. Cover it with spare paper from home. Or, get a book for next-to-nothing at your local thrift store.

You can make a book that has a cutout inside and put your Burn Book in there.

Confess that you wrote it. Explain how you were feeling negative about the person one day and felt as if this was the only way to express it.

It doesn't have to be a journal. You can use any book, as long as you can write in it.

There's no reason why not. It doesn't have to be a specific type of book, just as long as you can write in it and add anything you wish to paste in.

Writing down your negative thoughts is the healthiest way to express yourself. It can release a lot of negative feelings or thoughts. Of course, if you don't want to write down mean stuff, you can make your burn book have nice things in it! If someone finds the nice things, they will feel pretty darn good afterwards!

Yes. You could also have other Mean Girls style school supplies, too. Just make sure people don't think you're actually writing mean things in there if you plan on using it for school.

Be very careful that no one will find it. It is best to make sure it goes in the trash on trash day so that it will get picked up and taken to the dump right away.

She is likely furious with you right now, so give her time to calm down before you attempt to apologize. When you do apologize, don't make excuses for yourself; just recognize that you hurt her, apologize sincerely, and ask how you can make things right. If she continually refuses you, then let the friendship go.

It can be as big as you want it to be, and you can write about whomever you want.

Explain to them it's a journal and it's your way of expressing negative thoughts.

You don't need to add pictures. Plus if you get caught, it's easier to find who you're bitching about, but it depends on you as it's your book.

Make sure to also have some bad stuff about yourself in it. If you are in it, no one should suspect a thing.

You don't need pictures if you don't want them. You could always draw something if you wanted, or just write descriptions of people.

Yes, they can be listed in your burn book. Just make sure that your friends don't like the celebrity, or they might get offended.

Sure, but you might want to use an app where you can include drawings, pictures, etc., as that's half the fun!

You can probably find pictures on their social media accounts. If not, you could always draw pictures of them.

Then you're going to have to face the consequences.

You could check their social media accounts, they probably have photos posted there and you could just print them out, or you could try to subtly take pictures of them yourself and then print them out. But don't get caught!
