Please Educate Yourself with FACTS about the Choking Game
The Choking Game has been attracting, injuring and killing teens for generations. When
played in a group the Choking Game carries risks of seizure, memory loss, broken bones,
concussions and potentially death. Playing alone drastically increases the likelihood of
severe permanent brain damage and death. The prevalence of teens knowing about and
engaging in this risky behavior is far greater than the level of proactive preventative education.
Until there is mainstreamed education and awareness, teens will continue to perceive there
is minimal danger and that, according to them; "it's just like fainting"
The site is constantly being updated with the most recent pertinent information,
be sure to visit often to stay current.
Clarity for Common Misconceptions:
The "Choking Game" doesn't require choking.
The name is what teens have dubbed a variety of methods of oxygen deprivation to achieve a
rush, thrill, or 'high'.
"Good Kids Game" or "Thrill Seekers Rush". There are no definitive personality traits of a
participant. Some are high achievers playing out of curiosity, others are seeking an
alternative to drug use.
