Ramblings of a Mentally Itinerant Teen

the Choking Game

do teens really not know that, if you strangle yourself for long enough, you will end up dead? That's why so many of these "accidents" look like suicide. Somehow this public service announcement should be totally unnecessary....

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Witholding from your body substances and conditions crucial to its survival, whatever the period of time, can and probably will cause bodily harm and/or death. This includes
•oxygen (at the proper level)
•water (at proper intervals)
•nutrients (at proper intervals)
•healthy body temperature

if you are not trying to risk your life or attempting suicide, it is inadvisable in the EXTREME to abstain from any of the above. (It is inadvisable to do this anyway, but at least this way you won't die when you dont want to.) All one needs is a few resources (the above) and your common sense, and the will to live. I would put that above, but it is redundant to say that you should keep your will to live if you want to live. Anyway, thanks for reading, and stay safe- unless you really do want to strangle yourself. Live free or die...

    People do drugs which kill. People partly strangle themselves which makes them feel high. It's all the same.

    i suppose it's the risk factor. i can understand that. but one reads stories about children who had no idea anything could happen to them... it makes me sad. and it makes me wonder.
