Description:
Whenever there's a school shooting, the first word people use to describe the shooter is "quiet." In this non-narrated piece, four teens talk about what it's like to be quiet in school -- and show us that quietness isn't always scary. The voices are complemented by sounds of a school bell going off and kids shouting in the hall.
A longer version of "In a Bubble" aired in 2004 as a part of Chicago Public Radio's annual series "Chicago Matters." This version aired on NPR's Day to Day, with help from Hearing Voices on 3/23/05.
