"The Choking Game" the fifth estate

[illusion81]

Just watching the fifth estate on CBC. I thought I would share this as it seems to be a popular "game" amongst pre-teens. I never heard of it before, yet it seems like most kids have heard of it. Just scary!

Thats tragic...nothing new though I remember doing this in class 20+ years ago, hyperventalating and then squeezing off my throat, you'd get tingly almost like fainting and sometimes blacking out. I just read another story about kids taking compressed air cans and inhaling that somehow and it killed a kid well I am sure more but that one in particular died from the chemical composition...
