Question

WHY DORK DIARIES MAKE ME OUTRAGED​

​​​STEREOTYPES

If you have ever read Dork Diaries, you would know that this series is EXTREMELY stereotypical. It basically says that the only think girls do is obsess over boys and worry about being pretty and popular. As a girl who likes musical theatre, dance, drawing cartoons, and writing, this is kinda funny to look at. 

THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN

The book talks about a quirk middle school dork who writes in a diary. BUT THE WAY SHE WRITES IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. All she writes about is "oh, Brandon's so hot" and "UGH *forgot the name of the popular girl who bullies her* IS SO ANNOYING" and then there's her best friends. and she's all like, "OMGOMGOMGOMG" or "LOLOLOLOL" or "NONONONO" like, really?

Thats kinda it, so this is why I regret my phase where I obsessed over Dork Diaries and read the entire series!

Answer 6

I USED TO READ DORK DIARIES ALL THE TIME!!

Were they kind of stupid? Yes

Did I learn anything from it? No

But did I enjoy them? Yes

I had a dork diaries phase too (4th grade), and I dont regret a bit of it, because they made me want to write my own books.

Even if they're kinda dumb, they also inspired me, so I'm glad for that!

I had a dork diaries phase in 3-4 grade, and that's ok bc A LOT of girls loved dork diaries then. BUT ONE OF MY FRIENDS ARE HAVING THEIR DORK DIARIES PHASE NOW-

WE'RE IN 5TH GRADE-

Honestly, that's okay for your friend to like it!

A quarter to half my ELA and social studies class reads Dork Diaries. And it’s not just the girls.

During Social studies I just read my Scandinavian-American Immigration Novels OR I read Diary a wimpy kid

I read books I check out at the school library, which for the past month has been books by Alan Gratz.
