Blue Whale: Why do young people enter this challenge?

Much has been said in recent days about the game with challenges of overcoming called the Blue Whale Challenge, which has been linked to problems and suicides. I have been following some articles and discussions on the internet on the subject. What I have read most is about the association that people who are suicidal tend to start the game. But, in my opinion, in addition, other points are of great importance for reflection and analysis, when we talk about the motivations of a young person to enter this challenge:

1) Curiosity, immaturity and lack of goals; Depression,

3) Fears, anxiety and insecurity

Let's look at each of these factors below.

First impulse: curiosity and lack of goals

A

curiosity group acceptance and personal experience are part of the universe of many children and adolescents. In this period, for example, discovering one's own body (sexuality), experimenting with drugs or not, and testing one's limits is part of the world of many people.

immaturity often A

lack of a goal is one of the most important points and perhaps the most important thing is that the adolescent loses his or her life in what is new to him. beginning of every problem. Life is made up of challenges and achievement is very pleasurable at any age. Being able to surpass oneself is something so serious and important that it takes many to explore particular places, reaching the limit of their bodies (sports practices, for example). In the adolescence phase these challenges are not yet, in general , very clear or structured. Most are still seeking self-knowledge, thinking about present moments, trying to find their own ideas among the ideas of the family, and seek acceptance from the group and friends. It is a phase marked by major hormonal changes and a flood of emotional confusions.

Within this troubled process of living, when there is no healthy challenge and specific goals to be followed (eg a dream to be realized as a study, profession , physical activity, etc.), any "tax" or "suggested" challenge can be the "salvation" for the present moment. Healthy adults create their motivations for lifelong advancement, with some frequency. At any age not knowing what one wants or what is their mission of life, their professional goals, personal ... It can be destabilizing and generate great suffering. Therefore, who enters the game and accepts challenges and performs tasks, feels that:

Proving courage

• Being strong to resist pain
• Integrating with a larger group and other participants
• Where does depression come in and other problems?

All this can only be welcomed into a mind with other problems. To challenge oneself without a greater purpose, without aiming at the good, the quality of life or even the maturing with life is a great mistake that is only experienced by those who need help.

Symptoms of depression, aggravate the need to prove to oneself even be able to get over it. Those who suffer from this do not want to call attention, do "mimimi" or are weak, quite the contrary, depression is even a disease that deserves attention and treatment. Symptoms of fear, anxiety, and insecurity may be involved in choosing the challenge, as being accepted by a group, believing that it is capable of performing risky tasks and dangerous can give false ideas of strength, courage and overcoming.

What can adults do?

Parents, teachers and caregivers can and should be aware of the need for attention, goal-setting and conscious overcoming of children and adolescents. Guiding, educating and explaining the problems behind this game is part of the education process. This article is intended for parents and educators who can understand what is behind inappropriate behavior. Helping children and students create new and better ways of living is magical. The cure can and should happen.

Possible cause of serious cardiovascular and emergency situations, this disease is greater in individuals who can not rest at night or have an unsatisfactory sleep quality.
