Latest Craze with American Teens

[shazzygirl]

I know that I may have too much time on my hands, but did anyone also catch both Dr Phill and Oprah yesterday (11th April)?
Both of these programmes spent time on the latest craze with the teenagers in America, not just the teens but young ones as young as 9.
Anyway its called The Choking Game, or The Pass Out Game. The teens are pairing up in groups and choking each other to the extent that they are passing out!
Yes, the latest craze!
Each person that spoke on both these programme described the high that they were achieving when they were coming back to consciousness, its euphoric and is just like being stoned!
The only thing is that these kids are unskilled at this and killing each other in the process of 'getting high!
There are even ones that are doing it 'alone' and choking themselves to death.
What happened to the good old days of having a joint and getting high and having a few laughs.
How the hell are we to protect our next generations if they are now choking themselves to death to get 'high'.
Anyone else heard of this - and is it here in NZ already?

Doesn't get any cheaper than that. Soon all the hobo's'll be doin' it.

And using double apostrophe's.

Awesome.

When I was at school (5th form?) some gals used to kinda do that - breathing real fast and then suddenly standing up and breathing slowly or something like that. Maybe the other way around. Makes you faint anyway.

Not exactly choking each other to death though.

Yeah I saw part of this yesterday on Oprah... It is horrible aye!

One thing that is going around New Zealand at the moment is girls are cutting themselves... yep sure it has been going on for years but not to this extent. Girls are taking blades to school and threaten their boyfriends that if they don't do whatever it is they have asked of them they will cut themselves.
My questions is... where the hell did these kids learn this shit? Honestly it really upsets me that children are doing this to themselves.
My boss was talking to me about this the other day and how her son came to her and was like mum why are these girls gashing their legs up to get their way?
This may have something to do with mental illness.... but not completely.

I am sure that everyone is going to say blah blah blah stupid little girls... its a phase... etc etc etc but the problem is that they are open enough about doing it and noone is doing anything about it. At this age they do not have the self control to realise that it is wrong, it seems to be working for them so why stop? they haven't died.... yet

When I was at school...

Dunno about when you were at school you sweet young thing, but when I was at school the 15yo girls had better things to choke on.

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

Something that is terrible in our society is that this is something not to do?! I mean why is it bad to not have done these bad things? Why when you say "I've never done drugs" people look at you like you just said you killed someone... shock horror there are good people in the world!
Big ups to people who don't give into stupid peer pressure... it isn't something that only happens with youngins...

[Madness]

Yeah, I saw it. Let me explain that in itself firstly. I am on holiday ( yeefuckinhaa ) and the missus watches Dr. Phil & O-pra, I just happened to be in the room.

The poor girl they had on the show fessin' up to it was very quick to see the wrong in her ways. It's amazing what you can achieve with kids simply by taking the time to talk with them instaed of at them I think.

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