Can someone please explain to me about taking a vow of silence? I really want to, but how would the teachers at my middle school react? Is there an easier way to explain this to my family? What should I say to my friends? HELP ME!!!!

Barbiq,
The thing that I am talking about is just is a vow taken to not talk until a certain goal is accomplished. I just want to know what you think that those ppl will think.

A vow of silence is taken by a devoted member of the church like a nun or monk. This is usually done when one is living in a monastery or nunnery. It is a serious undertaking and not one usual for 7th graders.
Why would you want to or consider taking a vow of silence? You need to speak to your teachers, answer questions, talk to your friends and family about what is on your mind and heart. How will you learn from life if you don't participate fully in it? Maybe you should do some more research on the subject and really examine your reasons behind wanting to undertake something so serious.
