When oh when will the youth learn?

This story pains me to talk about but I must mention it. A South Carolina boy burned slightly over half his body doing an internet challenge.
I can't even believe how dumb the kids online were to make this challenge, and for this kid and others who attempted it, they are even dumber.
They were to pour rubbing alcohol on themselves and light a match and lighting it on fire. He did the dare in his bathroom and that is where he severely injured himself.
He was home alone and the bathroom was caught on fire. Luckily that was the only room with fire damage. He ran to a local Church nearby.
He was rushed to the hospital and his condition is unknown at the moment.
Please, when will these unwise youth stop with the dumb dares whether it be online or not?
A 12-year-old boy was flown to Augusta Burn Center after he was burned during an internet challenge attempt, fire officials said.

That must be it. They are seeking attention, they must have a low self worth about themselves.

I have to say it again Oh, Lord thank you I was in my youth during the days of no Internet. I am sure I would not have taken up any challenges i was a very shy girl but I would have been distressed to know about those who did. I will pray for this boy

I think this boy has nothing to do with his life. Only crazy people would attempt to hurt themselves. This isn't a deed by someone who is completely sane.

That is correct, only an insane person would do something like that.
