Day of Silence

so who here plans of being silent on a friday? I think I'll try to do it.

 

I posted a tread a while ago asking who was going to do it. I'm doing for the third year.

 

im doing it for the first year. but i can only do it till 7th period cuz im flying to atlanta for a tournament; i think my team mates would kill me if im silent on the field.

 

I would, but I need to go to a few important meetings. >< Maybe saturday?

 

If I remember I'm gonna try, though it shouldn't be too hard since I rarely talk to anyone

 

If I'm in a class, and I don't understand something, I have to ask the question over staying silent; I don't want to face the possibility of getting something wrong on a test. While it's a good cause, it just doesn't seem logical [to me] for students.

 

It is a very very good cause as it raises awareness, but it seems more useful things/movements could be done. It doesn't make much sense to me to remain silent to promote something? But thats just me.

 

Well it doesn't have to be clear-cut. Some people have been saying just embrace the spirit of awareness, and i think they're right. You know?

Ive heard several people bring this up. They came up with the idea of being extra loud on the DOS. Bringing the subject up and speaking your mind.

Myself, silence is actually already a huge part of my life. Yet, if I deliberately try to be quiet, I sometimes slip. I'll try, the idea is very appealing. This would be my first year.

 

me and around 20 friends decided to be silent for the day and i know about 12 made it LOVE THE SILENCE nd so do my teachers ....... lol silent day went good . Last year i did it al by myself , so lonely but NOW !!!! yay for GSA showing me the people to motivate

 

Despite being a quiet person, I only stayed silent until lunch.

 

Some people in my school used duct tape, on the comments of "i can't shut up"

 

Lots more people at my school were doing it :]
this is my third year at it too, woot!

 

I feel soooo bad. One of my friends did it and I had no idea about it... at least I signed his shirt for it

 

National Day of Silence (4/16/10)

Today was the National Day of Silence for the rights of gay, bisexual, and transgendered people.

Was anyone quiet? I was. It was difficult. Hurt my throat lol.

 

Re: National Day of Silence (4/16/10)

I was quiet in my Calculus class, but I had to break my silence for the sake of my lab class. Damn that class and its necessity of communication.

 

Today was senior skip day. I nor any other seniors went to school. Therefore, there wasn't much point in me trying to participate, so I didn't

I remember last year though. I wore a piece of paper over my shirt with the details of DoS printed on it. People were generally accepting and some even decided to join in (though when I reminded a few of them they still had to talk when called on by a teacher, they gave up).

Ended badly when someone looked at it then tore it off my chest and ripped it to shreds. I looked at him for a moment, then took out a spare I had for this kind of occasion. We haven't spoken much since then. He used to be one of my best friends.

 

The National Day of Silence always falls during my school's spring break (a coincidence, I hope), but the GSA always organizes our school's own day of silence. Seeing how I'm part of the GSA I'm kind of expected to participate, but even if I weren't, I still would.

 

I only stayed silent till my sixth period I tried to do it but I slipped up a couple of times And there were times where I just wanted to tell this one guy off because he was being a total jerk about me being bisexual as if I don't get that from my mom
