I feel like posting this in the "Personal Area" because it touched me a lot. I didn't wrote this: an italian anonymous did.
"I live in a country where sexism, injustice and ignorance are the order of the day, and crime is pratically everywhere.
Two month ago a boy I knew died in a horrible way.
He had to meet with a "friend" at night, but instead of that he went to the train station with his bicycle and he waited the train. And just when the train was approaching, he layed on the train tracks. Quietly.
The police recognized his identity only because of his bicycle and some scattered pieces of his clothes.
This boy was 16 years old. He had bad friends that were drug trafficking, and with his bicycle he transported the illegal stuff to city from city.
He didn't really aknowledged what he was doing: beside of that, he was a carefree student, always brave and joyful.
He hadn't the best grades, and he wasn't the most intelligent at all: but he was respectful, relaxed and tough.
He wasn't drugged when it happened: nobody seen anything, all of his "friends" know nothing.
Nobody spoke, nobody did anything.
I still wonder how people can stay silent.
If someone had known, if someone had seen, how can they bare with the guilt?
The guilt of having a 16 year old boy killed by a train?
After two months, nothing happened. And I'm sick. Sick and tired.
Tired of the people who can't talk, and the ones who can't hear.
Sick and tired because of all the cowardice.
Some secrets shouldn't be hidden anymore, and i don't want to accept this code of silence that characterize the most of the people in this sick country.
The ones who knows, they should speak, they should write, they should let everybody know.
Because it's the only thing left to do when an entire population can't bare anymore the injustice, the ignorance, the sexism, the homophobia. Write down the truth.
I want to break this code of silence.
If you have a secret, if you know something or if you want to say something, say it, say it loud.
Can we build up a place when nobody is judged?
A place when nobody has to be scared about revealing the truth?"

Like in television shows, they say that most people don't talk because the police don't have all the necessities to protect a person. Even in witness protection (it's not impossible), you can be found by whoever you sold out/betrayed/pissed off. But otherwise, many crimes could be solved if people weren't afraid to speak out.
