The Sound of a Dying Blog
Fizzle fizzle. Is this topic fizzling out? Do we need a new one? Okay. Here's a thought... There's a trend lately of thrill seeking. People are parachuting, bungee jumping, etc. Middle schoolers are playing the choking game, and self-mutilation is at an all time high. Just look at this month's reader's digest and you'll know what I'm talking about. Why is this? Is there some key component missing in our society? Is it because parents aren't watching their kids closely enough? Why are we like this? Give me your thoughts, people.

Unfortuneately, I know something on this topic. I wish I had before it was too late though.
Kids think nothing will hurt them - this is not a drug - just one time, etc. My son was one of them. He was only 16. He was a "good kid". He would have never tried drugs. He loved life - loved his 9 siblings - and most of all loved God. He had compassion for people. But, he learned of a game - this game he lost - lost his life. He tried the "choking game". His 11 year old brother found him hanging. His 15 year old brother cut him down. We are just past a year since his death, and it's still very hard. This game is dangerous, foolish, and mostly likely WILL cause death.
I am hoping my son's death, can save a life - maybe your child's, or your friend's child.
