Why does his friend Lawrence being gay upset him so much? Lawrence is the same guy you have known for years and liked nothing has really changed, except for your own reaction.
Well, there you go. I suppose that is really what confession is all about. Not that I would know, but still I get the concept. A long conversation with a priest might be helpful right about now. …maybe

“Like what kind of questions,” asks Elizabeth. Oh, the mysteries of life, girl. The mysteries of life.

The problem here is that IF Liz gets a hold of the diary, she is not at all likely to honor Mike’s desire for silence on the contents.

After he leaves, Elizabeth gets the diary which reads:
Dear Diary,
I need help understanding the questions, like: Why is my sister reading my diary when I told her not to?
Thanks,
Michael

Keeping a diary is a harmless way to vent—as long as it doesn’t end up in the “wrong” hands. Like Elly’s, for instance!!

Just the slightest hint of maturity developing in Mike? I know he does finally grow up…. .

I probably started 5 or 6 Diaries as a kid growing up. Each one only lasted a few days, maybe weeks before I gave up on them.

NOW he’s finding wisdom. Life really isn’t about finding answers. It’s about understanding the questions.

So what would he write about Lawrence? Why is he gay?

Keep waving that catnip under Elizabeth’s nose, Mike. It’s as if you WANT her to read it!

bad idea to keep a diary with snoops around, try a tape recorder

If can even understand the questions, you have a head start.
