The journals given to the students' by the teacher Miss Erin Gruwell help transformed their lives by being able to express themselves freely without being judged whether it is personal thoughts or experiences such as being abused, seeing their friends die, and being evicted.
This journal is their personal space where they get to open themselves up freely and expose themselves for who they are, thus, being able to release their pain instead of hiding and segregating themselves which may lead to worse things.
To conclude, the journals helped them to express themselves better, build a form of understanding between each other as well as a bond, and therefore, breaking the boundaries of racism and discrimination. This is how the journals helped to transform the lives of the students.
