hey guys, if you haven't heard about the day of silence before, here's some info from Larry King:

its a really great thing, and depending on whether my school lets me participate i'm going to try my best to join in on the day of silence. Yall should join in too ^.^
Never heard of this, but when is it? The video said April 25th, but comments are saying it's April 15th. Also, this is 3 years old?
It's april 15th usually. make sure you talk to your teachers to make sure they're okay with you not participating during class that day. also think about bringing a white board to school.
I was going to say It's the Easter holidays, but then remembered you live in the US. Do you not have Easter holidays?
not at my school no... o.0 i wish we did...
Aw, I will draw you something in the easter spirit then.
Blah. What a silly thing to be protesting for. >.<
its actually just for awareness. its simulating the silence many people must deal with simply because of their sexual orientation. As great as everything seems these days, there are still kids being bullied, threatened, tortured (emotionally and physically) and even killed because of their sexual orientation and the social stress that society puts on them.
by being silent you not only bring awareness to this issue, but you get a taste of what it would be like to be in a situation worse than yours. and according to my (gay) french teacher (who i absolutely love xD) "You also get to take a step back, and let people who may not normally get to speak have their voice heard, with a silent army behind them."
I really like the idea. I might do it. I'd just type a message on my phone with the Larry King link, and be like, "..." I think it's a good idea for those who are too shy to have their voice heard.
it actually passed already xD
it's april 15th, but dont forget about it next year!!
