how indian play blue whale game 
👇👇
n the recent times, we have been hearing a lot about teens committing suicides after falling prey to the deadly online game called ‘The Blue Whale Challenge.’ But there is no concrete evidence to prove that these suicides are an outcome of this lethal online game. In fact, we reported about a 17-year-old committing suicide by jumping off the roof of a seven-storey building in Andheri, Mumbai, after falling prey to this online game challenge. However, recent reports have emerged after forensic analysis and decoding his mobile phone data that it was an outcome of a failed relationship and not because of Blue Whale Challenge.


We can’t ignore the number of deaths that are happening in the name of this deadly game. To understand what makes a teen end his life in the pretext of completing the challenge and taking such a drastic step we spoke to Dr Sanghanayak Meshram, psychiatrist and sexologist, Mumbai. He says, ‘I am not sure how this Blue Whale Game is reaching out to teens. There isn’t any information or proof that this game is the reason behind the deaths. In fact, we are ignoring the problems lurking in the lives of young adults and teens while focussing too much on this game – teenage depression. Nobody speaks about teenage depression much, but it exists. These suicides look more like teenage depression leading to suicides than a challenge that makes them commit this act.’ Here are eight signs of teenage depression that everyone should know.


Blue Whale Challenge is not the only game that we fear which makes teens vulnerable, recently some teenagers in Delhi’s Pathways School got involved in a Snapchat Slap-Bet Challenge in which the boy subjected to the act suffered 25 percent hearing loss. So, what is it that thrills kids to take such destructive challenges and bet, why don’t they resort to rational thinking while committing such acts? We unravel the answers with Dr Meshram and try to analyse the psyche of these vulnerable kids.

How to control this online addiction in teenagers
Dr Meshram: For young kids, you can scold them and snatch the mobile away, but you cannot do the same with teenagers. If you try to enforce or argue with them it can backfire. Sometimes, they can become violent too. So start slowly and then gradually help your teen to quit the addiction. Here is what you can do:
Opt for a no digital hour: Plan this, few hours of the day when every member of the family has to keep the mobile aside and talk. The dinner time suits to be the best to practice this.
Communicate directly: Talk to your child looking right into the eyes. This helps to instill confidence and faith in the child that he is cared and loved, something that keeps them from falling prey to the promises of the virtual world.
