Latest Craze with American Teens

[madboy]

(and yes, all chicks take it up the butt and love ATM :eyepoke: )

In my experience all girls do... guess I've lived in the Hutt too long? Bonus points for the first person to look up what ATM means on their work computer - particularly the video tutorial.

Wouldn't want to get caught by management. That would leave a bad taste.....

I can understand martial artists using this to train themselves to remain calm under submission holds however these kids are loco - hope they get a mighty fright and wise up.

ATM... Association of Teachers of Mathematics... whats wrong with that?

[The Stranger:Me]

Hmm, there are a few people I would like to help out with that.

The teens are pairing up in groups and choking each other to the extent that they are passing out!
Yes, the latest craze!

Latest? We were doing that at school when I was a kid back in the 1980's. Bit daft, but it didn't affect me at all (twitch, twitch).

Why is it that every generation thinks they invented rebellion?

Spell it writght you knowb!

Yeah we used to do this shit when we had gardening periods when we were about 11 or so.... good fun but I guess we didn't realise the seriousness. If you want to know how to do it just pm me.. it's weird. Can remember something being mentioned at assembly once after a girl fell through a window doing it at school.

Yeah seen this type of shit at school. Specially the one where they get someone to breathe as fast as they can while two maybe three people press as hard as they can against their chest until they collapse.

Saw kinda the same thing back in high school. Someone hyper-ventilates while sitting down, then stands up real fast. They really did pass out sometimes.
Being the hilarious guy i am i thought I'd pretend to do it myself, but after 'collapsing' i waited for everyone to gather round before leaping and screaming bloody murder. I still rememer their faces now....
That was how i got my kicks anyway.

Anybody ever heard of Freon? That's some bad shit!!

Yip, its a trade name for monoflourodiflouromethane and its brother diflourotriflouromethane (think thats the right spelling, its been a few years since I worked with them) commonly known as R12 and R22. The were the 2 most common refrigerants used in fridges, freezers air - con etc from the '40s to the '90s when it was found their flourocarbon content was depleting the ozone layer. In its natuaul state its main danger is that it displaces air as it is heavier - so in an enclosed space you wouldnt get enough oxygen. Where it is really dangerous is if it is burnt - when welding pipes or even drawn in thu a ciggarette - it takes on the properties of Fosgene (sp?) the leathal nerve gas used in the first World War.

Just imagine having to grow up in this crazy world. I'm 16, I haven't been high, I've never had alcohol, I'm still a virgin and I'm very 'innocent' in my knowledge of sexual intercourse (I've had a very sheltered up-bringing), etc. Heaps of people I know get stoned on a Friday then get pissed and fucked on Saturday night every week, and they started doing this when they were 13-14. What's more, most of their parents don't realise this is why they stay the night at their 'friends' place all the time.

What I find disturbing is that I feel left out of all this and feel pressured to do the same

Just enjoy the last of your innocence. Life get's pretty 'fucked,' if you will excuse the pun, once it's gone.

Im 36 and at 13-14 in chemistry/physics class's sitting on the tall stools we'd put our head between your legs and hold your breath for as long as you could; Then when you had to breath you'd sit up and take a breath; Voila.. you'd faint and fall off your stool onto the floor; Instant high and if you were lucky enough not to bang ya head on the work benches or the floor then you sat quietly outside the nurses office for the remainder of the lesson.. if you banged ya head then it was off to A&E. Either way you missed boring chemistry/physics and had a 10 second buzz. The only draw back was you'd have to be in quick otherwise it looked a tad sus everyone fainting

The Gaols, Hospitals and Morgues are full of people, and not just young ones, who gave in to peer pressure. Just because it appears "everyone is doing it" and they ridicule you for being different, doesn't make them right. They aren't the one's who'll suffer if you get hurt. Trust your instincts and be true to yourself. Are they healthier and happier for their lifestyle or are they full of angst and negativity? Every action has consequences, carefully consider the consequences! It's often what keeps us alive on the road. TAlk to your parents, if they are as caring of you as they seem from your comments, they will be open with you and understanding of your doubts.
