Today's young people are so innocently stupid. They think some of the things they do are so funny and innocent but in actuality, they are overtly dangerous and extremely stupid. Yes, we probably all did stupid things when we were younger but nothing that compares to this generation of stupidity but speaking for myself, I NEVER did anything so ridiculously stupid as to potentially hurt, maim or kill myself.
Kids today have no fear, or better yet, they have no common sense. They are eating spoonfuls of dry cinnamon, drinking liquid soap, sniffing paint cans, texting while driving, and posting compromising pictures of themselves on the Internet that can never be taken back and the list goes on and on. They are not only doing these stupid things but they are posting and bragging about them on the Internet for all to see ~ even future employers.
Recently I saw several stories of teens eating spoonfuls of dry cinnamon and drinking liquid soap. Why? Did someone dare them? Were they that badly in need of attention?
This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that young people are so innocently stupid. They don't realize that by eating a lot of dry cinnamon that it can clog their throat and they won't be able to breath until they force themselves to throw up, forcing the cinnamon out. It can also go through their nasal passages and burn and irritate.
Liquid soap is just as dangerous, if not more so.
Listen kids...you're young right now and you think you're invincible and that you're just having fun. But take 5 seconds to think about your future. Think about the consequences of what you're about to do. Is it worth taking the dare or doing the deed? What if you don't recover from it? What if you don't get a second chance?
You'll never get to graduate from high school, you'll never get to go to college, you'll never get to meet your boyfriend or girlfriend, you'll never get to get married, you'll never get to have kids, you'll never get to prove your worth to your friends and family, you'll never get to have your dream job and the list goes on and on.
Be smart and don't waste your young life on doing things that "others" consider funny. Their idea of funny might be your death sentence. Have some common sense and let that inner voice (conscience) be your guide.
If you need someone to talk to choose a trusted adult, parent, teacher, friend's parent, police officer, pastor or anyone else you trust.
