The choking game keeps spreading itself in our society. Believe it or not, this silly dangerous game is present even in our local primary schools too! Till now we have not heard of any serious case here but the game is already a youth waster in the world.
The choking game, also known as the fainting game or more commonly known here as “Signe Bondieu” is a very dangerous game which is often practiced by children at primary schools but also present in colleges. The game involve strangulation or forceful breathing blockage to cause severe choking.
The science behind the choking game is quite long to explain. In simple words, it involves temporarily blocking breath and not allowing oxygen to reach the brain. This in turn simulates many inner reactions in the body which also gives an euphoric sensation. Somehow a feeling (short duration) of near death.
The above is mostly through strangulation by friends. The other most common form of the choking game is self choking. That is a child voluntarily block his breathing for a while. This decrease the oxygen level in the blood but also cause excessive pressure in the lungs.
These starts NDE entry like effect and gives the feeling of being high for a while without the use of drugs. The sad part is that many youngster have died due to this. The practice is also found in college where this is performed as an entrance rite to join a gang at school.
Others simply do it to impress their friends. The dangerous part that many do not know is that the body reactions following this little nonsense game is more than it seems to be. Results?
- Damaged Lung
- Brain Damage causing paralysis
- Blood clot
- Uncontrolled absorption of oxygen remaining from the blood leading to shock
- Artery and Cerebral issues.
These are just the main ones! This silly game can even cause unnoticed damage to your body function. So parents, watch this video above! As it says, you have always told your child to not drink alcohol at school, not to smoke and avoid drugs.
You even told him/her not to fight at school. But did you ever mentioned about this little game which has even reached our society?
I think you should now! It is not the choking game that make a guy into a man. It’s his gut to say NO to his friends when they tell him to do so which makes him a real man.
Same to you girls! If you are a college student, sooner or later you will hear about it. Your friend will tell you to do it as it removes acne! It is false and only a myth. The choking game kills. So learn to say no and grow up to be a woman. The choking game will not make you a better woman.

The adoelscent rite of entry is dangerous group behavior that can have an effect from the initiation of cigarettes to activities of death. I remember when two or three kids planned, selected their targets, and placed a social demand on the kid that was a little more insecure. Some were allowed to claim they have done a specific activity in an exchange to be allowed to avoid it. Those kids who faked it had no idea the pressure they put on the other kid who honestly believed that others have performed the activity.
Cigarettes, hits off of a bong, slamming, flashing, public mastrubation, the first kids acknowledge that they did something similar and they motivate others to shift the pressure to someone else. After the rite of entry was established, the kid with the authortiy bragged that he controlled and blamed the kid for falling for it. All the ohter kids are just looking to pass by and if they can shift it to someone else out of their discomfort, so be it.
An emergency in such a situation won’t be supported by the kids. All the kids will stand in panic and evaluate the emergency vs. the parental consequence for such behavior. That panic will last a couple of minutes until someone gets the courage to dial 911. The police might not be called, it might be mom, or even worse another friend. Those two to fifteen minutes are critical. The one kid who makes the choice and takes action will see their friends run home as fast as they can pretending they never have been there.
I hit a behavior that gave me epilepsy because I could not comfortably affirm that a potential action may be dangerous. I gave into kids who placed a demand on me that resulted in a week long coma and now epilepsy. 25 years later, at my last reunions, they still approached me and said, “Im sorry!” and run away in a direction so I can never find them. Later on, I found that nobdoy really did the behavior, they all just faked it. In their 40′s they now brag about how stupid I was afterwards because I played the role of the victim.

At 1993 i was 13 years old. I remember that a friend at school told us that he can put us to sleep in a few seconds. It was like a bet for us and we started to play this meaninglees stupid and very dangerus “game” for about 1 or 2 months at school and the evenings at home. We absolutely didnt know the danger of this activty. Every one of us start to do this with other of his friends and i remember that a lot of children this time become part of this. Our parents haven’t the slightest idea of what happen. Even now they have no idea for that. As children we never thought that we must inform our parents just for a “silly game”. Its tragedy that people lost their children only because no one warn them. I was shocked when i found in what danger we have put our selfs and others for absolutely nothing. Im deaply sorry to hear for the loss of children 17 years later!!! As sosiety we didht manage to sufficiently inform the people for this dangerous stupitity for almost 20 years!!!

My son Tyler passed away aged 13 in sept 09 participating in this evil, i have a petition undergoing at the moment awaiting goverment approval to have the choking game awareness campaign launched in schools, drs surgeries etc. I had never heard of it before until Tyler passed. I urge parents family members any1 who deals with kids to wise up on the widely available info that can be found. We are a shattered family and the pain i just could describe. Talk to your kids, show them the video on you tube called the choking game wake up! Senseless deaths that needs to be stopped.

the choking game,are our children really that stupid to call idiotic behaviour a game.
I have 3 children now that are all grown up and now have grand-children and I hope none of them ever think that the STUPID act of choking any-one till they pass out and have convusions is classed as a game.My daughter has got epilepsy and when you see some-one in the throws of a grand mal fit it is any thing but funny,and how children young and old can find this amusing is totally sick.I think that the full force of the law should be brought down on these thick individuals,and serious charges should be made.In the case of people dying the charge should be man-slaughter.this STUPID game should be stopped NOW.

In May of 2005 I lost one of my twin sons Gabriel who was 13 years old to this wicked, high risk, thrill seeking activity! This is a ‘game’ of death!
Each and every time it is ‘played’ you kill brain cells: Each time someone becomes unconscious and ‘twitches’ on the floor their brain is having a seizure.
It is not always the oxygen that gets cut of to the brain, it is also the flow of blood that is restrcted to the brain and other vital organs. Please post these websitesv that have factual information available to help warn and educate on this deadly activity of self asphyxiation that has been quiet for to long.
This is not a ‘game’
