13 Year Old Dies Choking Himself for the High


Recommended Posts

But at the time, the mother of four thought maybe her 13-year-old son, Gabriel Mordecai, was smoking marijuana. She never imagined he was putting a rope around his neck and choking himself for a rush.

"A couple of months before he died, he became very hostile, very angry, and he complained of horrible headaches," Pacatte said. "Then I started seeing bloodshot eyes."

What killed him in May was the "choking game," one of the names for a practice in which children use their hands, arms, ropes or belts to cut oxygen to their brains and pass out.

This is nothing new. I remember seeing kids do this when I was younger and thinking how stupid they were. If you want to get high, do drugs. Don't strangle yourself. :rolleyes:

recently, there was some show that had a piece called something like "Stuff that your teenager is doing that you should know about" so, as a teenager myself, I wanted to know what I was doing that I should know about....turns out the whole show was just about the few whackoffs that choke themselves for the jollies....

good ol' darwin, i'm tell you ;)

I've never choked myself with a rope, but if you stand up against a wall, bend over as if to touch your toes, and take 10 very deep breaths (inhale / exhale), then on the last breath just inhale very deep and stand up with your back against the wall, and hold your breath for as long as you possibly can (until you get the feeling), you can more safely experience whatever it was that the dude was trying to do. I did it a few times in HS.

I used to do that whilst i was younger. Not for drugs, just for the feeling, i thought it was such a nice feeling

we actually use to do this when we were young, like grade 7, 8ish young. I perosnally never tried it, but I know people who have, and apperently it works well...:laugh:

:laugh: I tried that just now and pushed a bit too far back on the wall with my feet and almost fell over :blush: Once I did it, I couldn't see anything (blackout?) and slumped on the bed with no energy. My head felt like it was going to explode. I certainly felt something, certainly not the 'buzz' I was expecting.
