So, the Day of Silence is in less than a week- anybody doing it? Anybody getting anything cool, like buttons or t-shirts? I think we're getting buttons, and me and my friend are going to make t-shirts. Who is as excited as me?

Behling · 20th Apr 2008, 07:13 PM

I'm doing it ^_^

Kat22 · 20th Apr 2008, 07:59 PM

Hey, can someone tell me more about this "day of silence?" What day is it exactly, why is it done, and what exactly is it? Thanks!

Sam · 20th Apr 2008, 08:07 PM

I'm doing it! I have a t-shirt for the day. I'm excited.

Hey Kat22 go to www.dayofsilence.org for info on it because I think it will be able to tell you more than I can.

Kat22 · 20th Apr 2008, 08:11 PM

Went to the site, understand now. Thanks bunches Biloved!

Brett · 20th Apr 2008, 08:11 PM

I'm doing it, but I'm techinically not allowed to. So, I'm gonna talk only to stay out of trouble in class.

Grof142007 · 20th Apr 2008, 08:13 PM

i need to make my Sign *sigh* someone send me one so i can print it out

Sam · 20th Apr 2008, 08:32 PM

No problem Kat22. So I don't know of anybody else doing it at my school I guess I'll see when Friday gets here.

Nicknikko · 20th Apr 2008, 08:54 PM

I will do it. ;]

20th Apr 2008, 08:57 PM

I might do it. But seriously, I just wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut for less than an hour, let alone a day

Jerr · 20th Apr 2008, 09:00 PM

If you search the day of silence, you'll find a lot of threads talking about it.

**Maddy** · 21st Apr 2008, 12:42 AM

I'd do it if I was at school that day, but April 25 is a public holiday (Amzac Day) here and we have the day off.

Wander · 21st Apr 2008, 04:49 AM

I'm doing it, but I rarely speak anyway. I'm just naturally quiet, so I don't know how many people will actually notice.

biisme · 21st Apr 2008, 08:02 AM

I'm going to do it....

I'm just not sure if I should do it only in school.....b/c we have a "breaking the silence" party.......so i'm not sure whether to do it at home or not yet...

o well.....whatever i decide will be spur of the moment anyway!

Alexander · 21st Apr 2008, 02:56 PM

I'm doing it as much as possible without letting my parents catch on...

xballetxbeautyx · 21st Apr 2008, 06:07 PM

Whoops, sorry about posting this if there are so many other threads; I didn't see any. Guess I didn't look well enough.

I have to make my t-shirt! Our GSA didn't have enough money to get any. =[ ~megan~

Wired106 · 21st Apr 2008, 07:08 PM

I would like to do it but if I don't talk at all or to any of my friends when they talk to me they might find out what's going on and that im gay... and I really don't want them to find out so i'm going to participate but like ignore them as much as I can lol or only talk when neccessary, but other than that I'll participate in it!

pyroboy74 · 21st Apr 2008, 07:54 PM

I'm doing it!

Pretty much everyone at my school knows about me, so i don't have to worry. The only thing i have to worry about is them thinking i'm depressed

Nerdtendo · 21st Apr 2008, 08:07 PM

I'm doing it. even if 'm a Chior Teacher's Aid, I'm gonna shut my trap. ...if my brother dosent trick me again...*has a simple, small paper explaining the situation...from last year.*

pyroboy74 · 21st Apr 2008, 08:10 PM

Too bad i can't do it at home though. My parent's are getting too suspicious already
