is a risky teen behavior injuring and killing adolescents.  The Choking Game is
becoming increasingly dangerous as children take it on as a solo venture.
Our Mission is Increased Awareness and Education and Decreased Injury and Fatality.
What the kids say:
"I play the Choking game in
a group so it's safe"
"It's just passing out, no
one ever dies from passing
out."
THEY ARE WRONG!
Victim's parents say:

"I only wish I'd known of
this and could have talked
to my child about it.  I
learned too late,  I was
burying my precious child."

Clarity for Common Misconceptions:

The "Choking Game" doesn't require choking.  The name is what teens have dubbed a
variety of methods of oxygen deprivation to achieve a rush, thrill, or 'high'.

"Good Kids Game" or "Thrill Seekers Rush".  There are no definitive personality traits of a
participant.  Some are high achievers playing out of curiosity, others are seeking an
alternative to drug use.


Learn about the Choking Game

The Choking Game has been attracting, injuring and killing teens for generations.  When
played in a group the Choking Game carries risks if seizure, memory loss, broken bones,
concussions and potentially death.  Playing alone drastically increases the likelihood of
severe permanent brain damage and death.  The prevalence of teens knowing about and
engaging in this risky behavior is far greater than the level of proactive preventative education.
 Until there is mainstreamed education and awareness, teens will continue to perceive there
is no danger, that "it's just like fainting"
