And i dnt mean like throwing themselves on the floor but ppl have all different ways in making themselves faint but how? its just so crazy. i just want to know because this girl in my school makes herself faint but i dnt know how. and when she faints she starts shaking on the floor. she tells everyone to do it cause its cool.....it so isn't. but how do ppl make themselves actually faint and sometimes they fit on the floor. i think its really dangerous.

this is to haggisbasher: i am asking how they do it because i am!! i am just curious. people ask questions all the time. god if you can't say anything nice then shut up your mouth and keep your thoughts to yourself!

do most ppl do it for attention?

Answer 1

Take a deep breath, tip your head back and put pressure on the two arteries in your neck with your thumbs, this will make you blackout.

When I was a teenager we used to take blow backs on joints and do this, it was called a "Jim Henson" after the muppets creator as you giggle and jerk around like a muppet when you're out.

You can get the same effect by artificially breathing fast for a few minutes.

Answer 2

Some people cannot help it - sometimes certain factors cause them to unconsciously hyperventilate and this is one reason why people 'make themselves' faint.

However, others do it for attention because there might be something actually wrong with them; they may be having difficulties mentally or socially.

Then there are those who simply do it because they want to.

Answer 3

Hey if your mate at school is a loser and has the brain the size of a pea! If you faint it could damage your health! And it doesn't look cool, you end up with a bad hair day, a head ache and dribble down your cheek. Totally not cool!

Answer 4

the best way to do it is to starve you brain of oxygen. i have never done so i don't know how it actually works, but it is really dangerous, you could end up with epilepsy and other disorders of the like. the best thing to do is not get involved with things like that for your own safety and it might be a good idea to tell your friend not to do it too.

Answer 5

Your friend is acting very stupidly and is playing a very dangerous game!!! One day she may do some serious damage to herself by doing this!!!

Answer 6

me and my friends used to do it just for fun too....you have to hold your breath and deprive your brain of oxygen....then you just fall out one time my friend hit her head on the door when she fell and i never ever did that again...lol well i understand what your question is all these people are like why would you wanna do it if you think it is dangerous...i agree with you on the you just wanna know "how" they did it...people on here are rude sometimes you have to ignore them....and yes it is very dangerous...i would enlighten your friend at your school that it is very dangerous maybe even report it to the school...good luck

Answer 7

In Victorian times the weak 'collapsing woman' was the feminine ideal. maybe she's regressing to a past life

Answer 8

One way is just to hold your breath until you pass out. How ever it is done it is dangerous and a bit stupid.

Answer 9

There are ways you can do it but I'm not going to discuss them here because you are right it is really dangerous,not cool at all.

Answer 10

this is total attention seeking. I get so fed up with time wasters like your friend, sounds like if she cant get attention, then she will faint!!!!! Boy she needs to grow up!
