    Just a heads up to any parents on here who haven't seen this yet, I'm sure most schools have talked to the kids about this by now, but by chance some haven't, might want to talk to your kids about it. It's been reported that children have died from this, it's a "Tik Tok" thing I believe.

    saw this dumb sh*t last week...kids will do anything for likes and retweets...set themselves on fire, eat tide pods, and now potentially seriously injure somebody

    all the kids doing this nonsense need their ass whooped

    let me have done something like this and actually injured someone...my parents would have beat my ass...my mom would give me the appetizer and tell me to wait until my dad gets home for the main course

    obviously incredibly dumb overall...

    but hard to tell from the video, in that specific case, was the girl just thinking she was just jumping and not being tripped? If so, **** those ****ers that did that.

    Yes the prank is two people on each side of one person jumps, and they tell the person in the middle who has no idea of whats going to jump as high as they can after them, and then they sweep the middle persons legs. The person being "pranked' doesn't know what they are doing, they think they are just making a video of them jumping.



    As you can see, this can cause death and severe brain damage depending on the surface and how the persons head lands.

    Social media has tapped into the dumbest side of humanity. Those two shitstains laughing while their friend was CLEARLY unconscious triggered the **** out of me. Yeah, traumatic brain injuries are HILARIOUS! One of my friends passed away in high school because she fell out of a truck bed and hit her head on the concrete.

    EDIT: I'm referring to the video in the post above mine btw

    Jesus Christ kids are stupid. I was among the stupidest, so I'm just thankful this wasn't a thing 20 years ago.

    This is why you don’t allow your children on social media. And stay off yourself.

    The second one was haunting, hard to believe he’d instantly die like that but could very well severed his spinal cord

    Looks like fun. Growing up we used to play one hitter quitter until the cops told us to stop.

    I'm thinking about what was being done 20 years ago, and I'm pretty sure kids were doing dumb a** sh*t as well just no social media to keep on the internet forever. I remember 20 years ago while i was in junior high, guys were chocking each other out to get some sort of high. I was shocked at how stupid this was, but there was a crowd gathered around to see who would do it next. Kids are going to dumb sh*t and there is nothing to stop them, it just gets more magnified with social media. I think i can make a solid list of stupid things done by kids while I was growing up. Luckily I wasn't stupid enough to join in. Appears the stupid kids grew up and multiplied.

    Luckily, I haven't seen this happening in my school. Teaching junior high, kids are stupid in the ways you don't really expect them to be stupid. A lot do not think about consequences before they act and/or haven't developed empathy yet. They don't know what the difference between being funny and being an ******* is. Especially 8th graders.
