Tide Pod Challenge.
Topic Started: Feb 1 2018, 05:57 AM (40 Views)

So as some of you proooobably already know if you read the news.. there's this fresh new 'challenge' trend where young people are biting into tide packets and swallowing the contents. It's obviously ridiculously dangerous, but that's not stopping people from doing it. It originally started as a meme, I think?? But now it's like a literal thing that children are doing... pretty dang stupid. -_- You can read some more information about it [url=[url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/01/13/teens-are-daring-each-other-to-eat-tide-pods-we-dont-need-to-tell-you-thats-a-bad-idea/?utm_term=.28ceb43cd0aa]here[/URL][/url].

And if you guys want to see some of the 'challenges', here's a good reaction video I just watched. :P

The worst part is that children are consuming these capsules because of peer pressure, and they're basically trying to wow others with their recklessness.

“A lot of people were just saying how stupid I was or how — why would I be willing to do that?” 19-year-old Marc Pagan, who said he was dared to do it, told CBS News last week. “No one should be putting anything like that in their mouths, you know?”


But it's not daring, it's just stupid. People should never allow peer pressure encourage them to put their lives in danger, and the biggest anecdotal example I can give on that regarding my own life experiences would be the time I was offered a joint after class in high school. I hung out with the wrong people and had friends who tried to get me to smoke menthols with them. Instead I stood there disgusting and told them they were going to kill themselves. Needless to say I didn't talk to those people for long, and they were a couple of bad influences to be around. =/

I haven't heard anything about it until now, but it seems like another dumb and stupid challenge that kids are doing again, like the cinnamon challenge. Some people are just too stupid to think about the harm they are doing to themselves.

These trends are getting out of hand, but society is getting stupider and crazier. What's going to happen in the next crazy challenge?

Haha. It's just that guys tend to mature slower than we do, and they're bigger risk takers too. :P
