QUOTE DAY OF SILENCE, April 18, 2007: The Day of Silence is an annual event held to bring attention to anti-LGBT bullying, harassment and discrimination in schools. Students and teachers nationwide will observe the day in silence to echo the silence that LGBT and ally students face everyday. In it's 11th year, the Day of Silence is one of the largest student-led actions in the country I'm not an active member of the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club at my school, but I've always thought that this is one movement that deserves my support and finally, after procrastinating for a couple of years, I've finally decided to do it. It's gonna' be hard not talking (several people have told me that it'd be impossible for me), but 'tis a worthy cause. This is more of a national movement than is something School-y, but admittedly, because it is youth-run, it has its roots at schools. But anyone can participate! So I guess I just...put...it...here.

I did do the day of silence today. I had to talk a couple of times because I had to do this presentation. I don't think anyone except me did it in my school, well maybe there was somebody but I didn't know. My friends knew I was doing it because I had a notecard explaining the day of silence and stuff.

I had "Day of Silence" written on a piece of looseleaf paper, but I had to talk last period since my French teacher's really serious and wouldn't have allowed me not to talk. |
