Blue Whale Challenge ... Real/No Real ... Stupidity
Discussion
So I heard about this this morning, and wondered what the challenges actually are supposed to be ... found a guide here (http://www.higgypop.com/blog/blue-whale-challenge/) and its totally ludicrous, why aany young person would want to "play" is beyond me.
Apparently 130 potential suicides so far across Russia/Ukraine/Slovenia!!
Complete List Of Blue Whale Challenges
A Reddit user posted a completed list of tasks which were supposedly posted in a comment on a story about the game on a Russian news website. The list of 50 challenges has been translated from Russian.

2. Wake up at 4.20 a.m. and watch psychedelic and scary videos that curator sends you.
3. Cut your arm with a razor along your veins, but not too deep, only 3 cuts, send a photo to the curator.
4. Draw a whale on a sheet of paper, send a photo to curator.

It never was. I read a document about it lately, but it was in Russian. It was staged by an idiot radio presenter in a s
thole called Irkutsk, after a single schoolgirl suicide, who was bullied by her classmates. This caused mass-hysteria over here, which lasted months and cost alot of wasted time and money.
Kids are no idiots these days. It's just most of us don't understand them, hence the fear.
That's good to know, I just heard it on Radio1 where they were touting it as a potentillay big issue!thole called Irkutsk, after a single schoolgirl suicide, who was bullied by her classmates.

You don't go on Facebook? OMG! HOW DO YOU LIVE WITHOUT IT EVEN THOUGH YOU LIVE VERY WELL WITHOUT IT? OMG!!!111!!!
Are you not even on there "just to keep up with a couple of distant relatives and school friends, along with some interesting motoring related groups" which is what everyone else on PH seems to do?
I am genuinely not on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Snap(chat) or anything other than PH and LinkedIn but the latter is corporate use only.Are you not even on there "just to keep up with a couple of distant relatives and school friends, along with some interesting motoring related groups" which is what everyone else on PH seems to do?
I used to have FB but closed and deleted it around 6yrs ago now, never had or been interested in any of the rest - lives good

Nope. Can't stand the stupid thing.
As mentioned above, PH is as far as I go with soshal meedya.
My fiancée isn't on it either. Was quite annoying when our daughter was born as we didn't want her plastered all over the site. However, my stupid brother and stupid sister in law soon had pictures of themselves holding her all over their accounts. Actually pi**ed me off a bit, that did.
Same when our daughter was born (2.5yr now) and my sis did the same. I got wind of it from someone else and promptly requested them to be removed, there are no pictures of our little one online anywhere at all, we view it that it should be her choice in the future what's online and not about her, not a relatives decision and certainly not all this potentially future embarrassment of first potty use, etc...As mentioned above, PH is as far as I go with soshal meedya.
