It came to my attention today that we have students in the middle school who get together at parties and sleepovers and play, The Choking Game. This game involves one child restricting oxygen through the use of their hands, arms, ropes or belts. Children get a "high" when the pressure is released and blood rushes back to the brain. The sensations can become extremely addictive. We believe this to be a very serious issue and certainly can be life threatening.
Whether or not you suspect your child of participating in this activity, please engage them in an immediate discussion regarding the life-threatening dangers and consequences. If you would like additional information on this, please visit one of the following websites: www.chokinggame.net or www.stop-the-choking-game.com
Feel free to call me at the school if you have any questions.
