What are today’s fun and games turning to? I mean when I was young we played hide and seek, freeze tag, make believe house, rode bikes, normal things like that. That was 10 short years ago.

Now kids are playing games that kill each other.. what the hell do you find exciting and fun about choking your friends or yourself until you pass out? I always thought the worst way to go out would be to drown or to hang to death. Its doesn’t feel good, that hurts to feel your head swell up and pulsate and your lungs bloat up desperate for air. I feel so sorry for the families of these kids. You go to sites like you tube and see videos of kids murdering each other for fun is really what it is. And the sad thing about it is parents are blaming themselves but what can they do? Really, a parent cant watch their child 24/7 especially when they are teenagers and should know better already. There has to be an emotional or mental problem underlining the reason why a child would seek pleasure in putting their hands around another child’s neck squeezing until they pass out.

Then if you look at the video of this practice you see that they are so inexperience in what they are doing that they don’t even seek emergency help.. They laugh, they slap their playmate trying to revive them, until its too late to even help the person.

I’m actually stunned, watching that video really scared me. It frightens me because I have a daughter and to imagine her up in her room playing with her best friend and they are playing some deadly game how to I prevent that. How do I know that when I allow her to go skating or swimming like I did as a teenager that she isn’t choking her self. We have enough worries trying to protect our children from gangs, drugs, rapist, and pedophiles, now here comes a killer in the disguise of a game. OH GOD, help us!!
