First of all, one should not be picky about food. When a blizzard hits, Greg and his family were trapped indoors with limited food supply. Greg regretted the decision of giving away tons of canned food that he dislike like yams and beets to the Food Drive at school, causing him to suffer a little starvation when he was trapped indoors. This shows that being picky about food is always bad and one should always be thankful for the food they can eat.
In addition to that, we should always have the courage to face the music when we do something wrong instead of thinking ways to run away from the problem. When Greg was in school, he sort of vandalised school property because there is one point his best friend Rowley and him posted some posters on the walls when it was raining, which causes the poster boards to bleed thus leaving green splotches all over the wall. After some time of inspection by the school principal, Greg thought that he won't get caught and he should stay calm for the time being, but Rowley left an anonymous tip for the school principal confessing that he and GREG was the culprit. Eventually Greg decided to take the punishment alone and scrubbed off the splotches on the wall. This shows that Greg was willing to face the music alone instead of being like Rowley exposing their friends mistake but not telling the whole truth.
Finally, parents and adults should not be over protective concerning kids. For an instance, Greg's school playground almost have all the playing equipments removed just because of some minor incident, which causes the other kids cannot have fun during recess. They are also restricted from running in the playground and bringing toys to school for entertainment purposes. This might result to kids not being active because of over concerning kid's safety.
Overall, Diary of A Wimpy Kid is a pretty good story to read because it consists of quite some moral values. I highly recommend it for others to read it.
