With everyone using YouTube these days to get their name, their brand, or just their hilarious content out there for the world to see these days, it's like feeding time at the aquarium's shark tank as users vie for hits. I mean, the ultimate goal of any video that is posted online is to go viral, right? So if a video takes off and becomes a huge hit, all is well with the world...right? Not so for those posting videos of a choking game played by teens looking for a high.
How terrible is that? The newest viral craze on YouTube is a set of videos showing teens choking each other out!
Apparently it is called "the black out game" and can lead to brain damage and death. The "game" is very popular among high-achieving teens that prefer do choke one another rather than get caught with drugs or alcohol.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is when social media goes bad. Let's keep the messages positive and use social media as a tool to connect, interact, and entertain...not teach others how to harm themselves.
Here's an example of these "choking game" videos, but be warned this may be disturbing to some viewers:
