Not Too Sure About This New Trend Among Teens

Harrison Lee9 years ago

I love trends, for the most part. Some of my recent favorites include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The Fish Bra
• The Underboob Challenge
• The Condom Challenge
• And the Cocaine Challenge, where kids snort coke and then nominate their friends.

This new trend sweeping the Northeast, though? Doesn’t really make sense to me.

From WFSB:

It’s not only teens playing this game many call “chicken,” but people who live in East Hampton said the teens are jumping in front of cars, darting through traffic and terrorizing drivers as they pass through the center of town.

So now it is fun to play Frogger in real life only with no intention of making it to the other side? Just seems a little dangerous. Teens, man. They’re just out there trying to run the streets by risking their lives. Don’t think this trend will catch on with the older crowd. Is it just me, or are people getting dumber?

You know what, though? I’m not going to stop them. I’m not going to be the one that pulls Jimmy aside and tells him that what he’s doing isn’t smart. Nope, I’m just going to let natural selection take over and see what happens..
