Have you ever been bullied, taunted or harassed by others? Most of us have in one way or another. Whether in school or at work, we have either been the witness, perpetrator or recipient of someone's mean comments or actions. Sometimes it make have been a subtle comment or a blank stare. Other times it may have been a more explicit action like an insult.
Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover could not take the bullying anymore. The eleven-year-old boy hung himself last week.
The Day of Silence is an effort to create awareness about the bullying, harassment, name-calling and violence that students see and face in our schools.
Consider participating tomorrow and help raise awareness by remaining silent as much as you can throughout the day. Say a prayer for Carl and his family.
