Choking Games

I feel like I've heard about teens playing these "choking games" on some primetime news show. But it's very sad to see a local teen may have died playing the game where kids strangle themselves in an attempt to get high. Here's the story, which includes some warning signs.

Have you ever heard of this? Ever worried about your own teen?

We are a nation with a morbid fascination with death. We kill our unborn children, we flirt with euthanasia, we don't take human life seriously or value it. Is it any wonder that our children will also foolishly play with their lives?

That came out a bit judgmental. Of course, our heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends of the young man. I guess what I was trying to say is, why do our children take these chances? Is it b/c us as adults don't stand up and value life?

That's what I was trying to get across.
