Okay. I want a ouija board for halloween and my mother won't let me have one. She wants to know the risks of a ouija board and how can we prevent them? Please help me.

I'm skeptical about the whole thing. I do know that if you peel back the paper on the top, there is a funny symbol underneath that supposedly make the whole thing work. Weird but true.
For your satisfaction I'll give you this info. These are the things I was told as a kid:
Always clear the indicator prior to use by rubbing it along the surface of a mirror. This eliminates the taint of the former "spirit" being spoken with.
Never ever be the only one touching the indicator or it could cause a spirit to be in direct contact with you. So never play alone.

Carpal tunnel syndrome comes to mind.
Other than that you risk wasted time and money.
But if you and your friends have a few laughs with it, then it's probably not such a terrible thing.

There's nothing supernatural about it. The people who touch the planchette are subconsciously pushing it. It's called the ideomotor effect.

Ouija boards are just toys - cardboard, paper, and plastic. It doesn't contact any so-called spiritual world, or demons, or anything like that, any more than your monopoly board does. The only way that the pointer moves around is because people try to push it without being caught, and they try to freak out other people by spelling out scary messages.
Frankly, the process of trying to do this is slow and dull and tedious. Ouija boards are boring, in my view. Once you try it once or twice, you'll probably think the same thing, put it in the back of your closet, and go do something else.
