Attention teenagers: It's not cool to suffocate.
I was reading in the paper yesterday about teenagers who are intentionally choking or suffocating themselves or their friends in order to induce a 5-10 second high from lack of oxygen / fainting. There have been 10 or so accidental deaths in the past few years that have been determined to be the result of this practice. It has these horrible nicknames like "Suffocating Roulette" or having a "Passing Out Party."
This could very well be the stupidest thing that I have ever heard. Ever. Why anyone would think this is cool is absolutely beyond me. What an absolute waste of life. I realize this is way off topic for my blog, but I'm just so staggered...
