Topic of this novel

I'm cheating a little bit with this....This is mostly a true story but it is about when I was 16. Emotions and actual things that happened might be different just because I either don't remember it, or I want a stronger emotion to come across. Also, this will be a journal entry type novel, and the dates are just kind of thrown out there...I remember the time of year that all this happened, just not the exact dates.
