As a special ed teacher this caught my eye. I had one student with selective mutism, and I feel I failed him. I want to find how to help, because God has a way of putting people in my life that I never intend. Some are learning experience, and some I help. I apologize on every behalf of every teacher who failed you. BTW, you have a lot to say, and we value your words.
I used to have selective mutism from age 3 till age 11 it was hard and i still don't like social situations today, i'm currently 15 and have been talking 4 years and a half, its still really hard - but i'm getting there.
im the silent girl too ..but i think ive gotten much better in 6th grade i was quiet for the whole year..but im defenitely not going to give up..b/c i deserve to be happy like everyone else...and there is a difference btw refusal and defance..i was none of those either..but my teachers thought i was :(

@Jessica164 I once dated a guy who dumped me because I was too shy, how about that ...
