I hear the latest craze by teens is to squirt a flammable onto their body and light themselves on fire. Is this just media hype or is it a real problem? I don't even like to watch the videos on TV showing it. What's wrong with you young bucks.

Social Media has magnified the stupidity of kids so much. Ugh.

Is it real? yes. Is it a problem? no.


If they die... they die.

I seriously have no idea what these tards are doing these days - I certainly didn't have the urge to light myself on fire when I was in jr high/hs.

there should be a law that you can't participate in any form of social media until you are 18 years old

I thought this was a fundraiser challenge for sickle cell.

My chemistry teacher did this in high school. He would allow students to light his hand on fire and would then turn around and light unsuspecting students' desks (provided they were clear) on fire when they weren't paying attention. Cool guy.

Is it just me, or are youth becoming increasingly moronic as time goes on?

I can remember growing up in the late 80's/ early 90's and being kids, but never once did we have the urge to do a cinnamon challenge, parkour from the top of buildings or intentionally light ourselves on fire.

I grow to hate teenagers and children more and more every day.

It's not just you, it's just the fact that every moronic thing they do ends up on the internet where everyone can see it. In the good ol' days, only their friends or family would know what dumbass stunt they pulled, now, it's everyone.
