creative hiding spots for a journal?

I was given a journal recently that I'm required to write in. Don't have a space to call my own, and I don't want to lug it around everyday in my bag. What are some really good spots I can hide it that family wouldn't think to look? If they ever read it, I'd melt.

Is it possible to lock it with something?

I would only feel safe storing it on my laptop. But, if it had to write in a book, I would be a SAFE to put it in. My family is very nosey.

No, they found it when I was out one day, even tried hiding the old JC penny magazine in a lego box, but that failed as well. Computer works great, but nothing online is ever truely safe, but it is safe from families.

I would suggest if you have a car, there are plenty of places to keep it in there, just limit access to your spare keys!

^ I used to do this too when I actually wrote in a journal a few years ago. No one ever found it, but I can't say they came close. Since I'm so cautious I would always change my hiding places anyway. Another one was a chest in my room that no one ever looked in, so sometimes I'd keep it in there too. I also had a nightstand next to my bed which I'd stick the journal under too.

Do you have a desk with deep drawers? Does your family leave your desk alone? I actually have a journal now that I keep at the very bottom of a desk drawer, piled on top are a couple photo albums, folders, random things -- you can't even tell I have something at the bottom. I use the journal though to write down favorite lines in books and lyrics in songs, not for thoughts since that's what my Tumblr is for now. I keep it private just because I'm afraid they'd make fun of me for that stuff. It wouldn't surprise me if they did. Basically just another way for me to avoid teasing.

you could seal it an airtight ziplock baggie and duct tape it to the inside of the toilet tank

buy a book that is larger than your journal - make sure it's something boring that no one would be tempted to read - like a physics textbook or a self-help dieting cookbook or something - then glue all the pages together except for the first few. cut out a cavity in the block of pages large enough for your journal to fit inside. with your journal inside and the book on the shelf - no one will ever find it

Physics textbooks are expensive and I would be tempted to pick it up if I saw it. I wanted an astrophysics textbook, but it was over $200 on Amazon.
