Imagine you are a 12 year old boy from Russia. You can't speak much English and you don't have any friends at school. Your teacher tries to relate to you but you know its impossible so you just don't respond. Everybody thinks your a weirdo because you don't talk. but the only reason you don't talk is because you afraid of letting something loose about what your dad does on Saturday. if you do tell anyone anything you might not be at school the next day.
