and it showed kids sticking leeches on themselves! At first I thought this was a new fad for teenagers and I thought OMG!!! Then I went to http://www.abovetheinfluence.com/the-ads/slom.htm (if you go there you will see the commercial) and did a little more investigating about this topic. It seems it is a term used for peer pressure among kids these days. SLOMming stands for sticking leeches on myself and those who engage in SLOMming often have fear of not fitting in. I guess it is a commercial for a drug free america. It is very powerful in my opinion. check it out tell me what you think....

That sounds familiar...I remember my 12 year old daughter talking about that. I have seen the commercial but thought it was JUST a joke to emphasise how kids copy one another and how foolish some things can be...I never thought it was real!?
