    Thank you! Children are more aware than some people think they are. They're not stoopid, but want to be brave and be in the click or group and not seem scared of anything. Sure they're immature but simple things like drinking boiling water or playing around with chemicals is something they ARE smart enough to know those things will hurt them. No more excuses. If you have children, please teach them about the unpleasant subjects you may not want to expose them to. It just might save them someday.

    Completely? Never, if only for the reason that losing all faith in humanity also includes losing all faith in yourself. But seriously, people who truly have lost all faith in humanity might as well retreat to the middle of nowhere and live the rest of their lives as misanthropes, because they contribute nothing. If there's anything that makes me come close to that point it's comment sections on the Internet, much more so that what I saw in this video. The vile trash you can find there is often astounding and some of them don't even deserve the label "human" (certainly not the label "humane"). Assuming the comments aren't from bots, those people really do represent the cesspool of humanity. It's a shame that this particular cesspool never gets sanitized, though.

    Long before the internet, a teenager died when trying to mimmick a scene from the football movie The Program. Disney ended up removing the scene where football players laid down in the road while cars whizzed past. It wasn't a "viral challenge" in 1993 but if that movie came out 25 years later it likely could have been.

    When I was in high school during the 1960s, the blackout challenge was a brief fad, though I don't recall what it was called then. Someone would stand behind the subject, who would exhale as much air from his lungs as he could. Then the person behind him would wrap his arms around his chest (from behind, of course) and squeeze until the subject passed out. I saw it once or twice but didn't try it, then or ever.

    @@mattalan6618 Very true. I remember trying to be like the kids from Rocket Power (Show where kids do extreme stunts with skateboarding, surfing etc). I almost lost one of my teeth when one of my skateboard ''tricks'' went wrong. Thank god I landed on the grass and not on the concrete!
