I want to stop talking. Or at least stop using my voice. I would rather use sign language or something like that. I just don’t know how. I’m young so my parents could just be like; Nope. Then what would I do. Please help.

Learning to use Sign Language: That’s a useful and admirable goal!
Parents might love that idea, if you sell it just right.
Also the wise goal of “Listening More Than Speaking”. That could be really beneficial, as long as it’s done in a polite way.
Well if you want to stop speaking the way to go about it is to stop speaking….
If your parents say “nope” they still really can’t force you to speak. I hate to point that out, as it might make your life uncomfortable for you, but if you really feel the need or really want to be a mute the only way to do it would just be to do it.
If you want to learn sign language stopping speaking entirely and then taking classes for it, and using it as your only form of communication would likely work eventually.
But good luck with whatever you decide to do, and please stay safe.
I was mute for years. I would go mute but I hear other people blah blah and it drives me crazy so I have to drown it out with my own words
