I am considering taking a vow of silence both for myself but also for Free The Children. They are an organization that help children in Africa and elsewhere without schools, money, family, etc. I want to do this for 1 month (month of March since in March the telephone was invented: communication) But I also want to do this for myself, I have always been very open minded and self centered, which some people say is not possible for a 14 year old... I just want some insight on this because I was thinking of going to a silent buddhist retreat, but I am still in high school.

Not wise. Start out with one day and see how that works.

I happen to think, from the way you write, that you can handle anything you want to. Being young and living with parents might put a kink in the works though. But I would never type a word to discourage you. You have given this thought so YOU GO GIRL!! @8-)

That sounds very interesting, and a very kind thing to do. Even I might consider it.
If you are confident that you want to do this and you CAN, go right ahead.

Ifit is something that you take seriously talk to your parents about it.
