Our Mission
The mission of The Cost of Silence® is simple:
to end bullying, challenge grooming, and confront the hidden suffering of young people in silence.
Our goal is to:
- Raise national awareness about how grooming, bullying, and peer pressure destroy lives.
- Bring the truth into schools, homes, and community centers through talks, creative storytelling, and hard-hitting visual content.
- Empower survivors to speak out without shame.
- Encourage bystanders to become changemakers.
We believe everyone has a role to play — and silence is not a neutral act. If you’ve ever seen someone suffer and said nothing, this movement is your wake-up call. If you’ve survived bullying, addiction, or abuse and never told a soul — this movement is your home.
Together, we create impact. Together, we are The Cost of Silence®.
"Silence is not neutral — it’s a choice. At The Cost of Silence®, we choose to speak, to stand, and to change lives together."
The Cost of Silence® is more than a movement — it’s a wake-up call. Our mission is clear: end bullying, expose grooming, and shine a light on the pain too many young people carry in silence. Every day, kids are being pressured, manipulated, isolated, and broken down — not just in dark alleyways, but in school hallways, group chats, and even their own homes. And too often, no one says a word. That’s where we step in.
We’re here to make noise — through powerful storytelling, bold visuals, raw conversations, and truth that hits home. We speak in schools, community centers, and online spaces where silence used to live. Whether it’s a spoken word piece, a short film, or someone’s real story — we’re telling the truth the world tries to ignore.
Our goal is simple: to wake people up. To help survivors speak out without shame. To turn bystanders into changemakers. Because silence doesn’t protect people — it traps them. And if you’ve ever watched someone get torn down, been the one hurt, or just didn’t know what to say — you’re not alone. This is your space. This is your voice. This is your chance to do something that matters.
We believe everyone has a role to play. Whether you’re the one who’s hurting or the one who’s ready to help — you belong here. Speak up. Stand up. Be the reason someone doesn’t give up.
Because staying silent is a choice — and so is standing for something. Together, we are The Cost of Silence®. Together, we break the cycle.
