That game...


The following is something that shocked me when I heard about it. The main tittle of it pretty much gives it away. It's the CHOKING GAME, "Space Monkey, Blackout, Rising Sun, Knockout, Passing Out Game, Dreaming, Fainting Game, Flat Liner, Black Out and Funky Chicken"(Chocking Game). Those are the many names this "game" has been called.
Basically, kids have been experiencing this game to get "high". Kids have been choking them selves and their friends just for this."Many children don’t see the harm in playing the choking game...They are often fascinated by the prospect of getting high without using drugs" (Chocking Game). Sure there not using alcohol or drugs but their killing each other choking one another as a game to experience this dream like feeling.

Here are the signs and symptoms:
"Severe headaches, Raspy breath, Bloodshot or red eyes, Belts, ties, etc. found around the house, marks on the neck, and an unusual need for privacy"(The Choking Game).
The real terrible thing is that kids have died because of this so called "game". "All children who play the game (either with friends or alone) can lose consciousness within one minute and die in as little as two to four minutes" (Chocking Game)
