Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count is the debut studio album by American band From First to Last. It was released on June 29, 2004 through Epitaph Records. The album title refers to a line spoken by Winona Ryder in the 1989 film Heathers. The album was later remastered by Beau Burchell from the post-hardcore band Saosin, however, there is no indication on the CD's packaging, possibly due to the on-going feud between the bands.^[3] The album spawned two music videos for "Ride the Wings of Pestilence" and "Note to Self" and promotional single of "Secrets Don't Make Friends".

The hidden track features guest rap vocals from Major League Player. The track "Populace in Two" was included in the soundtrack for the video game Burnout 3: Takedown.
