The Choking Game - Dangerous Game Parents Must Know About The Choking Game The Choking Game: This dangerous "game" involves cutting off the oxygen supply to the brain through strangulation for a brief high. Some teens have done this using their hands or a noose either alone or in groups. The Choking Game, also known as the Good Kids High, is defined as strangulation (either alone or assisted) with the hands or a noose to achieve a brief euphoric state caused by a lack of oxygen traveling to the brain. More than 75% of children between the ages of 9 and 16 know how the Choking Game is played or have played it themselves. Studies suggest that more than 250 kids have died since 2001; most are well-behaved and successful children ages 11 to 17. Shockingly, only 25% of parents have heard of the game and only 7% of victims’ parents knew of the game beforehand. Why are kids choking themselves? Kids play the game for a wide variety of reasons. The choking game provides a free and legal high which makes it accessible to anyone and everyone. Common misconceptions are that there is no real danger and that it is considerably safer than drugs. This is certainly NOT true. After children try it, they run the risk of becoming addicted to the high. When a child starts playing alone – when most fatalities occur – it is clear the child is struggling with a very serious addiction.
