Many GSAs have organized around the Day of Silence as a way of raising awareness and fighting homophobia in their schools. Founded in 1996, the Day of Silenceยฎ has become the largest single student-led action towards creating safer schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
Today - The possibilities are endless. Just imagine: tens of thousands of students, from San Francisco, California to Irmo, South Carolina, united in a visible silence to create real change in local schools. Whether used to educate classmates on the damaging effects of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment or to demand passage of a statewide nondiscriminatory act inclusive of LGBT people, the Day of Silenceยฎ is an awesome opportunity to create more inclusive school environments and make some noise.
On April 26th, you can show teachers and other students this:
"Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. People who are silent today believe that laws and attitudes should be inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The day of silence is to draw attention to those who have been silenced by hatred, oppression, and prejudice. Think about the voices you are not hearing. What can you do to end the silence?"
This should be a valid excuse not to have to talk for a day at school.

Commercialistic, bullshit "holiday" created by big candy & flower companies which only serves to make single people feel even more lonely than they already are & people in relationships stressed out on what gifts to buy...as if buying someone some fucking candy on Feb 14th (of ALL 365 days of the year) REALLY makes such a GREAT statement of love. Fuck outta here...
Depression& suicide are also known to go up during this time of year.
"OMG! Why didn't you get me anything for Valentines Day??!
Bitch, I can buy you flowers & candy anyday. Stop being so damn commercial & materialistic."

The first day of an academic term at most high schools and colleges. On this day, a typical class lasts no more than twenty minutes and involves nothing more than reading the syllabus. Due to this, many students will attend class exceedingly hung over on this day.
Jeff: Dude, you don't look so good. Did you get trashed last night?
Steve: Yeah, but it's okay because it's Syllabus Day.
