| There is a potentially deadly “game” among young people all parents need to be aware of. Its most common name is the pass-out game but it has many others. Basically these kids achieve a high or sense of euphoria by depriving their brains of oxygen. They do this by many means. 1. Constricting their chests with weight or each other. 2. Strangulating themselves or each other with cords, ropes, hands even bathrobe ties.3. Blocking their nose and mouth with heavy cloth or plastic. Plus other methods, some are even foolish enough to do this alone.There are even web sites to tell these kids how to do it!!!!!Many children have become brain damaged or died because of it and the deaths are misdiagnosed as suicide.We lost my nephew last week to this stupid game. A 13 year old boy that had never been in trouble and had just the month before saved a young girl from drowning when the boat she was in sank.Please talk to your Kids, no one should have to bury a child for something so stupid.JimUsers <> Logic |

I am very sorry to hear about your nephew... But I think it is great that you have taken the initiative to try to make others aware of this problemquote:
