Podcasts about Choking game

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe explains why we need purity in the Body of Christ. You might haveheard of the game, Chicken.  And the Choking Game, and Red-Light Fire Drills.  But no game we play is more dangerous than the game people play with God. There are a lot of people in our churches today who look like they have it all together, but don't … and so we're going to be talking about purity and how it relates to the Body of Christ. Our hearts and motives need to be pure when it comes to the mission of God. We need less religiosity and more relationship. Less hypocrisy and more authenticity. And we're going to see in our message that there are some pretty severe consequences that happen when Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even smart kids make bad decisions; decisions that can take their life. This was the case for Judy's son, Erik, who died in 2010 from the choking game.

In this vulnerable and educational conversation, Judy tells Erik's story and guides parents on how to protect our children from dangerous challenges and other online harms.

(TikTok One Chip Challenge Kills 14 Year Old Girl) New TikTok Challenge Highlights the Dangers of Bad Fads Why teenage brains love social media challenges. KEY POINTS Most fads are harmless, but online challenges should be closely monitored for activities involving risky behavior. Young adults are susceptible to virtual challenges that involve potentially dangerous acts, as their frontal lobes are not fully developed. Fads have always been with us, but social media has amplified their spread. There is a new fad sweeping America: the "Orbeez Challenge,'' an online dare that encourages kids to film themselves shooting strangers with soft-jell beads using a toy pellet gun. The perpetrator then uploads the video to social media platforms like TikTok and Snapchat. There have already been over 150 million views under the hashtag #OrbeezChallenge. The problem is, when fired at high speed, the water-based beads can become dangerous projectiles; some have even frozen the beads to make them more potent. The challenge went viral in mid-March and has generated a slew of injuries and arrests. There have been reports of cars randomly driving up to strangers, firing the beads, then driving off. As some pellet guns can appear to be real firearms, police are concerned that someone could mistake the incident for an actual shooting and fire back. The maker of the beads, Spin Master, has asked people not to use them as projectiles and noted that they neither sell nor manufacture pellet guns.   Fads often involve unconventional acts, such as the goldfish swallowing craze of 1939, which began with a dare between two Harvard University students. Soon, colleges tried to outdo one another. In typical fad fashion, it began in people of high status and spread to those who wanted to be part of something exciting and novel. Engaging in fads also highlights the need to fit in and be popular. After a while, when the craze is taken up by more and more people, it loses its appeal. Before long a new fad is born and gains popularity.   Most fads are harmless, short-lived enthusiasms that center around trivial objects and ideas, like the 1950s rage of wearing Davy Crockett racoon skin hats. The 1960s brought us love beads, Troll dolls, and go-go boots, while during the ‘70s pet rocks and mood rings were in vogue. It is difficult to see the harm in these fads unless you are brandishing your pet rock as a weapon or wearing your racoon hat in the woods during hunting season. But occasionally, fads go bad and can lead to serious injury, even death. In recent years several bad fads have taken the form of online challenges.   Being part of an internet challenge by filming and uploading one's exploits can make it seem more acceptable and strengthen the connection to one's online peers. It can also foster a feeling that ‘everyone's doing it so it must be OK.' The ‘Orbeez Challenge' is the latest in a long list of potentially dangerous internet fads. One recent social media challenge involved daring someone to swallow a spoonful of powdered cinnamon without any water. The so-called ‘Cinnamon Challenge' has resulted in several students being hospitalized with breathing problems from the fine powder entering their lungs, causing inflammation and scarring. The ‘Blackout Challenge,' also known as the ‘Choking Game,' is a dangerous fad and was blamed for at least three deaths last year. It involves choking oneself or having someone choke you to the point of passing out in the expectation of obtaining a brief, euphoric high. A study by the Centers for Disease Control found that between 1995 and 2008, no less than 82 youths had died from playing the game, which continues to wax and wane in popularity online. A variation involves holding one's breath until they lose consciousness.   Another bad fad was the Ice Cream Challenge, the practice of going into a store and filming yourself opening a container of ice cream and licking it, before putting it back on the shelf. This was popular during the pandemic and placed customers at risk of catching Covid and other illnesses. In 2019 the ‘48-hour Missing Challenge' waxed in popularity, where teenagers would claim to have been abducted with the intent of generating as much social media interest as possible before reappearing. A year earlier, the Tide Pod Challenge spread across social media, where teens would either eat or vape laundry detergent, resulting in a surge in calls to poison control centers.   It can be exciting to perform in front of a global audience of one's peers, especially when it offers immediate feedback in the form of views, likes, and comments. But there is more involved than peer pressure and excitement. Harvard pediatrician Clarie McCarthy believes that the tendency of teens to engage in dangerous online challenges can be found in their lack of frontal lobe development—the part of the brain that controls judgment, insight, and risk-taking. This can lead to rash decisions with little thought given to the consequences. Perhaps the best example of this lack of forethought was the response to the Ice Bucket Challenge, where several people, mostly teens, had hot water poured on their heads. As a result of the ‘Boiling Water Challenge,' many were treated for burns.   In the future, it will be important to closely monitor social media challenges to ensure that our adolescents are not placing their health and that of others, in jeopardy.

She has served for over 25 years at Real Options, a pregnancy clinic in Allen, Texas. Her passion is equipping volunteers to talk with women dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. She also produces an outstanding blog, titled “Can't Change That”, which explores issues that are common to bereaved parents.   In the year 2000, Julie's son David Michael was stillborn, giving her a unique understanding of the suffering and agony post-abortive moms often feel after the death of their babies.  Then in 2017, Julie experienced another devastating loss when her 16-year-old son Bryan died participating in an activity known as the “Choking Game”.  According to a 2018 article in Time Magazine, 82 American children between the ages of 6 and 19 died after playing the Choking Game between the mid-90s and the mid-2000s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of them were boys between the ages of 11 and 16, according to a 2008 CDC report citing news stories and families' own accounts.  Julie joins me to share the stories of David and Bryan and I am pleased to give you the opportunity to meet her today!   Links related to this episode:Julie's Blog - Can't Change ThatHope DawningReal Options Pregnancy Crisis CenterReBuild Grief Support in Richardson, Texas - Email:  Rebuild@woodcreekchurch.comREBUILD Grief Support in Chicago, IllinoisTime Magazine article about the Choking GameG.A.S.P. - Games Adolescents Shouldn't PlayBooks recommended in this episode:Colors of Goodbye by September VaudreyA Grace Disguised by Jerry SittserAll views expressed by guests on this podcast are theirs alone, and may not represent the Statement of Faith and Statement of Beliefs of the While We're Waiting ministry.

We are so happy to share this recording of our live event, Dating Your Character. Your fellow writers came up with wonderful things in the text chat, which you'll hear us read throughout the evening. Prefer to watch? Head to https://manuscriptacademy.com/dating-your-character Writing doesn't have to strictly be a serious, intellectual exercise. You can reap rewards by approaching your work in an experimental frame of mind. Our way of developing an intimacy with your character is through the awkward and always-interesting lens of dating. Introducing Dating Your Character, with producer/literary manager Marilyn R. Atlas and VP of Literary Development Elizabeth Lopez. Having sold several first-time writers' books, Marilyn and Elizabeth believe that screenwriting and prose writing seek to satisfy the same visceral and emotional needs. While they inevitably look at manuscripts with an eye to adaptation, this class is an informal way to bridge both worlds. Using examples from film and TV, they look at character development as the key to binding all the composite parts -- the theme, dilemmas and scenarios leading to all-important transformations. By riffing on the choices that the screenwriter could have been confronted with, they focus on possibility, not inevitability. To reinforce that, they'll offer exercises to reveal the choices open to you in your work. Expect fun, support, laughter, community--and actionable tips to bring your characters to life. Marilyn R. Atlas is a talent and literary manager and award-winning producer. Her clients have appeared in shows such as Star Trek, Fringe, Pretty Little Liars, How to Get Away with Murder, 90210, Revenge, Hart of Dixie, NCIS:LA, True Blood, Dexter, Chuck, Castle, and Criminal Minds. She was film producer on Real Women Have Curves for HBO, which won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival; A Certain Desire, starring Sam Waterston; and Echoes, which won the Gold Award at the Texas International Film Festival. In addition to producing a variety of programming for the cable/ pay TV market. In live theater, Marilyn co-produced the West Coast premiere of the musical God Bless You Mr. Rosewater by Ashman and Menken (the writers of Enchanted and Tangled). She also co-produced the award-winning play “To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday.” Marilyn herself has been in development on pilots for Showtime and ABC Family. In addition to Marilyn's film/TV credits, she has sold (first time) novels Chasing the Jaguar to HarperCollinsto Hachette Book Ave Maria Bed & Breakfast to Grand Central Publishing, and the Hungry Woman in Paris, Group, and the Last Ride of Caleb O'Toole to Sourcebooks Her Lifetime movie The Choking Game based on the YA book by Diana Lopez aired in summer 2014.
