Day of Silence

Tho is National day of silence has been around 14 years, today around noon was my first of hearing it. and to make my experience even better, i was high.
So i get to class and my friend Chris was silent. he explained to me his support on Gay awareness reguarding bullying on a piece of paper, but i didnt take much notice to it. i thought he was the only one, i thought this was just made up. i dint take it very serious. it was when my friend Staci took charge and more allured me to know more.

"The National Day of Silence brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. This year’s event will be held in memory of Lawrence King, a California 8th-grader who was shot and killed Feb. 12 by a classmate because of his sexual orientation and gender expression. Hundreds of thousands of students will come together on April 25 to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT behavior. "

after excitement on the issue, i as well WOKE UP. i was silent. i went to class
the sight i then saw had a huge impact on me
the way the other student reacted to what other ppl supported
they called it dumb. stupid. made me feel bad i was doing it on the first place
i felt like a total outcast
not only becasue iwas supporting gay and lesbian bullying
but becasue i too was an outcast
and they looked at me with such disguest
like i didnt belong
but since i was there, let things be
GUIET YOURSELF
i was then put into a bubble
a way fron society
away from this life
...this censored life

so i stood up
i clapp...litterally
7 times
as loud as i could

and no one looked at me
i jumped up
clapped
made noises
but no one would ake notice me
i was terrified
i knnew then...
what the purpose of tofay is really about

like i said earlier
i am not only taking a stand for homosexual behaviors
but for being yourself
for being who you reallty are, not not being scared to come to school
..and be KILLED for i t

today, the issue is bullying
what could tommorrow bring
we must take a stand now
relate this to your life, to your struggle
stand up for freedom of expression
for speech
for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

and dont silence yourself
FUCK society
be heard young ppl
be heard....
