Quote
"There's a terrifying new trend sweeping the nation...and it's considered a "game" by many teens. Unlike reckless driving, teen violence and drug use, the choking game or "pass-out" game isn't illegal and is easily hidden from parents. But the consequences are just as deadly."—Oprah WinfreyOprah.com: Behind the Headlines: The Choking Game
