It doesn’t seem to matter how smart or popular teenagers are, many are putting themselves at risk taking part in senseless activities.
There are countless viral videos showing teenagers and young adults doing things most would call reckless and stupid.
“People are doing anything and everything to get attention,” said Meghan Kenney.
Only a few years removed from her teen days, Kenney has friends who have tried several of these “challenges” on the internet.
“They want to feel on top of the world. I don’t see the benefit to that,” said Kenney.
Search “dangerous teen trends” online and more than 600,000 results come up. Many of the postings include video clips of teens setting themselves on fire, pouring alcohol into their eyes and dozens of other dangerous acts.
