The Dangers of the Choking Game: Alert for Students

The Choking Game involves self-strangulation to cut off oxygen to the brain, resulting in millions of lost brain cells, strokes, fits, brain damage, and death. Look for physical signs like bloodshot eyes, headaches, neck bruising, and changes in behavior. If you suspect a friend is participating, speak up and seek help immediately.
