Focus On The Family

Lately I have been listening to a radio show coming home from work called "Focus On The Family" and on todays show they were talking about a game some kids today are playing called the "Choking Game" where they are choked until they pass out and when coming to they have a high euphoric felling like you get with drugs and alcohol. This game is addictive as the kids love that good felling and play the game more and more frequently. If they play it by themselves then they need some kind of a device to choke themselves. And the frightening part is that this game kills off thousands of brain cells everytime it is played and some kids develop problems such as loss of memory and seizures among other things. And there are some kids to die playing this game.

As a grandfather with two grandkids in the age group that play the game (10 to 15 is the largest group) it scares the heck out of me.
