Have you heard of this? I actually remember kids doing this when I was a teenager. This often happened on sport trips. The guys would take turns wrapping their arms around each other's necks while the "player" held their breath at the same time. One particular night, one of the guys almost didn't wake back up after passing out in the middle of the hall at a hotel and the other kids started to panic. He finally came out of it okay, but it was scary. I totally forgot about all this until reading the article...Definitely something I made time to talk to my kids about!

The Choking Game

Yes, actually we just did a thread on this. What's so scary is that kids really believe they are invincible and they think this is just a game. Really young kids are even doing this, according to what I have read. I read that a 9-year-old died from this. 9!!!
