I am 10th grade and I learned about in sleepaway camp in 5th grade. I played it with my friends from camp having no idea it was dangerous. It seemed like fun at the time and I really enjoyed it. It seemed a safe way to get a "high" without drugs. But then our school told us about how dangerous it was. I can't believe I ever did this thinking it was fun. I really could have hurt myself. But I was wondering what you all think about this... like have you ever tried it and did you know it was dangerous. And do you still do it. If you havent done it why do you think people do it? I know why I did it but I am just looking for everyone else's oppinions on this. Oh and what should I tell my friends from camp because they still play it and I dont know how to tell them how dangerous this "game" is. I dont want them to think im ruining their fun, but I dont want to see them get hurt. I appreciate your ansewers. oh and please dont just tell me that i was an idiot for ever doing this. I know

Ok, I wont lecture you b/c you seem to already know how dangerous it is. When you "play" that game, you are cutting off the oxygen that goes to your brain. It may seem like a high feeling, but its your brain starting to shut down. Let me just tell you quickly...I played a version of this game with a few friends in my teen years (it wasnt the choking of the neck version, but a different one that I dont really want to explain just in case anyone else reading this gets any dumb ideas) and the girl whos turn it was wound up going into convulsions/seizures. It what by far one of the scariest things me and my friends had ever witnessed. Imagine about 7 or 8 girls and guys who are laughing and happy one minute to screaming and crying hysterically the next, begging their friend to wake up. VERY LUCKILY she didnt die...but the scare of the situation and the paramedics who were called to the scene and realizing what could have happened put a fear in us like nothing else. Never,ever again did we even consider playing that game and made sure that others didnt either. Tell your friends that there is absolutely nothing fun or funny about cutting off someones air supply. I almost lost one of my closest friends b/c of it...and the thought has crossed my mind and my friends minds many times----"What if?"

1) I'm scared of that game. I wouldn't even try it because I don't want to die.
2) Convince other friends not to play it, then, when everyone else wants to, you and your friends can tell them they could die from it. Other people will probably start to agree with you and won't do the game.
Hope this helps!

I use to play it when i was younger, but that was many years ago before you ever really heard of it, so we never knew how dangerous it was. Noone i know ever died
Now you know, just don't play it again. Tell your friends even if they do'nt listen at least you told them adn they will know and can make their own decisions

thank goodness you stopped when you did! that's so dangerous. I don't never did do it. I think people do it for the same reason you did. I saw it on Dr. Phil someone died doing it. If you can't convince them by talking to them about it you should try showing them that episode of Dr. Phil.

check out the website above. real kids die from the "choking game" all the time (and from lots of other careless things!) You may have to sift through other stories, but I remember seeing at least 3 kids who died from it. And reading these stories can be a real wake up call to be careful and take care of yourself!

you owe it to your friends to go to the counselor and tell them about the game.. it is extremely dangerous.. think of this.. lets say you never tell anyone about your friends playing the game.. and one night.. one of them dies.. ..if you knew that you could turn back the clock ten minutes.. would you then go tell the counselor?.. do it before someone gets hurt..it is your responsibility..

Choking for any amount of time causes brain damage. And you will need your brain later in life to find a job, drive a car, think, ask questions on yahoo.... etc....
