Teenagers are always
pushing the envelope.
The latest teen trends
make the underage
drinking games of
yesterday look like
child’s play. Here’s an
inside peek at some of
the dangerous things teenagers are doing today … and
that they will never tell you about.

The activity involves lying face-down on
any surface. Once in position, the participant’s friends take a picture and share it on
the web through various social media outlets.
It might sound harmless and even funny, but
some teens have expanded their creativity
and planked on unusual and sometimes dangerous surfaces such as rooftops, vehicles, or
escalators. Many have been injured and at
least one death has been reported.
Teenagers are quick to find new ways to
consume alcohol without leaving the obvious
smell of booze on their breath. This new
trend involves pouring vodka directly into
the eye, passing through the mucous membrane and entering the bloodstream through
the veins around the eyeball. The result is
a quick buzz. If done often, this activity
can burn or scar the cornea, and in some
extreme cases cause blindness.

“Helping to put the fires
out on ABUSE.
We proudly support
preventative education
for our youth!”
