Day of Silence

Today I participated in the Day of Silence.

All day at school I didn't speak at all, instead used pantomime hand signals. I even wrote a pretty neat speech on the back of my math journal.
"Equality. Doesn't the Constitution stress it enough? But in schools bullying creates an imbalance of power. And inequality. We the kids are tired of being bullied, tired of having our voices being lost in the wind. Today I am silent, for all of the children who have been bullied. Hear our silence. -alias Silver Rose"
