Teenagers risk death in internet strangling craze - Home News, UK - The Independent

Is it just me that thinks 'Go ahead, kill yourself, you'll be bringing up the genetic stock of the world by removing yourself from it'?

Nope, not just you. First thing that popped up in my head when I read the title was "Go Darwin".

Wow that is something rather unique and special, but i see what you mean harrod, somethings gone wrong in the education here. And some of the comments are just wtf

"I suppose now the government will try to criminalise holding your breath for longer than 30 seconds."

My mom told me that she and the other "cool" kids used to do this, but that was back in the late 60s.

If they are talking about what I think they are talking about, then I used to do this on a regular basis with my siblings and cousins... WITHOUT VIEDO INSTRUCTIOS. It was fun. You'd do it, fall and hit your head on something and not feel a thing! And look how I turned out. Clearly a non issue

Though at my tender age, I think a lot of it was a lot of "placebo" effect and just a bit of dizzyness. Probably not as intense as these kids are doing it... I was like 10... lawl But still, I turned out just fine!

Crayons....

p.s. I lost "the game" so many dang times in that article, I swear. It's written so many times!

More evidence that the loss of these kids is no big loss

Experts say it is most prevalent among high-achieving adolescents

Auto-erotic asphyxia is an internet craze, now?

Stress. The same reason why high achieving kids often engage in other forms of self-mutilation.

Oh thanks, Okita. Not once in the holidays I remembered the game -.-

I've read about that strangling stuff a couple of times, but I've never experienced it or heared about it outside of the internet. And I meet totally insane people almost every day^^
