How to take a vow of silence
It made me
determined
 "it was tougher than i thought."
How I did it: I got involved in the Me to We Vow of Silence and set my own rules. For 24 hours, I did not talk to anyone, use instant messenger, email, the phone, didnt text, or write down any thoughts on a piece of paper. I simply limited myself to hand gestures and that was it. I didnt not speak to my parents, friends or teachers. I did this to experience what children in less fortunate countries feel when they don't have a voice and can't stand up for themselves. (the point of the Me TO We Vow of Silence) I proved to everyone and myself that I had the drive and determination. I recommend this to anyone who wants to try it.

How I did it: How I got on the idea of starting a vow silence, I'm not exactly sure, I just kind of started thinking it about one day did a TON of research and have been hooked ever since. =] My vow spicifically though is kind of limited, due to the research Iv'e done there's certain vows of silence that can last for a day, week, etc. Or just certain times in the day, and there are even permenant vows of silence that last a persons entire life =O … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I committed everything to my vow.. not only did I not speak verbally, I didn't text-message or use the internet as a means of communication. Though I was still social and attended class, I was reduced to a game of charades or writing on a piece of paper. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've always wanted to take one, and I told my friends about taking one. They didn't think I could do it, so I stayed silent for the whole day (and on a day or two the following week). They were kinda shocked I had the willpower!I must say it's cool not talking, it gives you a better ear for things going on around you. I'd love to try this for longer:) Read how I did it…
Inner thoughts. My life, family, friends, school and relationships. They have all been getting worse and worse. Its because I don’t have condifence in myself. I am taking a vow of silence for a week. This will help me with those Inner thoughts. I feel that taking a VOS will help me or anyone think about what they want and who they really are. Without speech comes thought, with thought comes success.
I plan to take a vow of silence Monday, and not stop until Monday of the next week. The reason i’m doing this, i’m still unknown to. Some part of it is because nobody listens to me, and another part is because I really just want to see how the world is without my voice. I speak WAY too much, and everything. I want to try to be reserved for a week.
Later, i’m going to discuss it with my father, and have him a right a note that i’ll just carry around that explains i’m taking a vow of silence. I’m going to limit myself to hand gestures only.
This needs to happen more than ever. I need to completely cut off and eliminate certain aspects in my life so that I can see the things surrounding me. I already have a very hightened sense of things around me, but it’s not the same. I’m a medium-high chatty person, but I get this from being a Gemini (and i’m sure other life aspects). I talk and talk and talk (neither uncontrollably, nor in an annoying matter), PLUS my job here at Walt Disney World is all based on TALKING! I perform shows with scripts that range up to 21 pages long. It’s exhausting, to say the least.
Imagine this…
No internet, no cell phone, no talking…
...I can’t wait.
Yesterday I started ny vow of scilence. Today will be harder, because I am going to be surrounded by friends and teachers. I’m not going to tell them what I am doing in case it doesn’t work out. Lets see how long I last!

im 12 and i wanna take a vow of silence but i dont no how to get through school with it any ideas????
In my life i have never really had silence, and i have never been one with my thoughts, so i want to take a vow of silence for a month this summer, i’ve only gotten support from two people in my life, while everyone else thinks it silly. But it feels like a calling though, i’m trying to find a monastery or nunnery where i can go and just be in silence, i really want this to happen.
I have decided that i shall take a vow of silence after my holidays, for apparently this is a selfish thing to do, and my grandparents would hate it. So exactly 5 days before school starts i am to take a vow of silence.
My reasons for takeing this vow, is to try to descover myself, become a better person, try to look at life in different ways, to conserntrate on school more, and to learn to appreciate life.
I hope that i cann acheive this, and i shall keep you up-dated :)
I am taking a vow of silence until I get into university, a way to get me working more, and talking less.
I was quiet for about na hour with my friend, and I decided that it felt good so I should try it out for about a week and see if I’d like to do it for longer.
I’m starting it monday November 3rd.
wish me luck ^.~
