Why Go: “No More Whispers” is a day for young adults to come together to unite against issues that teens battle with on a daily basis. Teens deal with rumors, pressure from peers and parents, being bullied, depression, alienation, abuse at home or from boyfriends/girlfriends, and more, and they need to know they are not alone and there is help. This event offers workshops and teen roundtables on topics such as cyber-bullying, body image, being positive, "sexting" and much more. “No More Whispers!” means teens can come and speak out about these topics or listen to others and learn how they have handled these problems in their lives. This is not a day for judgment, but a day of understanding, connection and
unity. It’s time for teen voices to be heard! The event will be catered by and as a treat, the teens will enjoy a live performance from YouTube star Jenny Suk.
