<p>“The Choking Game: Unveiling the Adolescent ‘Game” of Self-Asphyxiation”</p>
<p>Generations of adolescents have been participating in the “game” of<br />
self-asphyxiation. Often referred to as the “Good Kids Game” due to its<br />
drug-free nature, detection tends to be unlikely until it is too late.<br />
Just last week, a 12-year-old died in Santa Monica after being on life<br />
support and spending two days in a coma.1 The growing concern is the<br />
“new sexy name and its implication of a casual, flirtatious<br />
relationship with death.”2 The intrigue of doing something dangerous is<br />
seductive, particularly to teens, who are, by nature, risk-takers.</p>
<p>The chocking game refers to the act of “Intentionally cutting off<br />
oxygen to the brain with the goal of inducing euphoria,”3 which results<br />
in cerebral hypoxia (oxygen deprivation to the brain). According to<br />
G.A.S.P., a non-profit support site for victims of this activity and<br />
their parents, this game is played mostly by “boys and girls between<br />
9-16 years old” who are generally “high achieving in academics,<br />
activities and sports, and don’t want to get risk getting caught with<br />
drugs or alcohol.”4 Additionally, the growing practice of using<br />
accouterments such as ropes and belts has dramatically increased the<br />
the deadliness of the act.</p>
<p>Some of the warning signs to look for include:<br />
Any suspicious mark on the side of the neck, sometimes hidden by a<br />
turtleneck, scarf or permanently turned-up collar.<br />
Changes in personality, such as overtly aggressive or agitated.<br />
Any kind of strap, rope or belt lying around near the child for no<br />
clear reason—and attempts to elude questions about such objects.<br />
Headaches (sometimes excruciatingly bad ones), loss of concentration,<br />
flushed face.<br />
Bloodshot eyes or any other noticeable signs of eye stress.<br />
A thud in the bedroom or against a wall—meaning a fall in cases of<br />
solitary practice.<br />
Any questions about the effects, sensations or dangers of strangulation.</p>
<p>Common slang terms for this “game” include:<br />
“The Choking Game,” “Funky Chicken,” “Space Monkey,” “”Blackout,” “<br />
Fainting Game,” “Dream Game,” “Suffocation,” “Roulette,” “Passout,”<br />
“Flatliner,” “California High,” “Airplaning,” “American Dream,”<br />
“Tingling,” and “Gasp.”</p>

<p>Hello Visions,</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been about two and a half weeks in Isreal and I have been thinking<br />
about you and wondering when I will find the time to write&#8230; today is<br />
Israel Independence Day and we have a day of rest&#8230;<br />
So far things are going well for our daughter&#8217;s adolescent recovery and<br />
our family; we are still settling down, it will take some time to get<br />
organized and to feel at home.<br />
Sarah is amazing, yesterday was her 60 days of sobriety, she is going<br />
to AA meeting everyday and this gives her a lot of support she also met<br />
a lovely young woman, her name is Hindi and she&#8217;s 30 Years Old. Hindi<br />
is a recovering drug addict and Sarah calls her everyday and together<br />
they are checking the possibility that she will be her sponsor.<br />
We also saw the therapist you recommended once and Sarah liked her a<br />
lot, so we will continue seeing her.<br />
Other than that, I hope that all is well with you, we really appreciate<br />
all the work that you have done with Sarah, and she often speaks about<br />
Visions Adolescent Treatment Center and misses everyone there.<br />
This is just a beginning of a journey for us, we have the usual ups and<br />
downs but in general we feel good that we are not in Ojai right now&#8230;<br />
Please send our warm regards to the stuff and the residents of Visions<br />
Teen Treatment Center.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best and a big hug,</p>
<p>Mom</p>

New York high school principal&#8217;s controversial prom decision.</p>
<p>Students at a New York high school celebrated their junior prom But<br />
instead of having an after party, they had to go home and straight to<br />
bed. This year&#8217;s Pearl River High School junior prom was on a school<br />
night. And students were expected in class the next morning.</p>
<p>The controversial prom was Principal Bill Furdon&#8217;s response to last<br />
year&#8217;s prom , where students students got drunk and high on posted<br />
pictures online</p>

<p>A violation of privacy? Constitutionally unsound? As a parent, is it<br />
alright to go through your kid’s property? Can you breech trust and<br />
check text messages? That’s a tricky question that only a parent can<br />
answer for themselves. However, if you suspect that your adolescent is<br />
using drugs, or using their cell phone for any illegal behavior, you<br />
have the right and the duty to investigate.</p>
<p>Asking your child outright may not produce the truth. If they are<br />
engaged in secretive behavior, lies are bound to follow. You might be<br />
surprised what you find if you take a closer look.</p>
<p>Above is an illustration kids often draw, pointing to a less than<br />
subtle clue that something was wrong. “420” refers to the time of day<br />
that pot smokers light up. April 20th (or 4/20) is also considered a<br />
pot smoker’s holiday. Kids also commonly draw magic mushrooms, bongs,<br />
or other images glorifying their drug of choice. Other things you may<br />
look for, besides drawings such as these, are empty baggies (possibly<br />
with residue or crumbs from drugs), pipes, paper, and other<br />
paraphernalia, straws for snorting, razor blades, thermoses (smelling<br />
of booze), and weapons.</p>
<p>Check the hidden pockets and pouches. And then there is the cell<br />
phone…Look for text messages that sound like drug deals and &#8220;sexting&#8221;<br />
is a popular pastime (sending nude pictures via text message). As a<br />
parent, know the names of your kid’s friends and know that it is your<br />
right and your duty to keep you teen safe in Newport Beach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[<a href="http://cli.gs/Visions]&#8220;>http://cli.gs/Visions]</a></p>
<p>Good Morning Visions:</p>
<p>It has been a little over a week since Kiefer left Adolescent Treatment<br />
Center with me, therefore, I thought it time for an update.</p>
<p>Kiefer was a little skittish the first few days outside of Visions<br />
secure bubble. He was easily anxious in certain situations and<br />
noticeably cautious. Several days removed from Visions finds Kiefer,<br />
relaxed, easily regrouping emotions when needed, clear eyed, largely<br />
tranquil, appropriately verbal and self expressive. We have had no<br />
meltdowns to date, however, the first AA meeting was located across the<br />
street from a local drug dealer/friend therefore we will more than<br />
likely not return to that meeting for awhile, Kiefer prior to that<br />
meeting yelled at some teenager and immediately recognized it as an<br />
emotional relapse moment &#8211; he self corrected and that is the only<br />
inappropriate event to date.</p>
<p>I have found Kiefer to be helpful, he organized dishwashing after<br />
Thanksgiving dinner, and has been steadily working to get his room<br />
orderly, including washing his own clothes, he is no longer &#8220;needy.&#8221;<br />
Kiefer is not asking for privileges that he knows must be earned, such<br />
as driving. I am easily able to approach Kiefer with simple requests<br />
and his is pleasant in return, yet able to let me know what his needs<br />
are.</p>
<p>One week out of Visions, I find possible miracles have taken place<br />
within my child/teenager.</p>
<p>We are having a lot of fun going to meetings, we have gone all over<br />
Omaha and tried a variety of meetings, We have received tips for good<br />
Young Peoples meetings and so we are adjusting the schedule to take in<br />
those meetings too. Kiefer has already been embraced by several young<br />
sober men. Kiefer is approaching men he has met in previous meetings<br />
and has already established a good call list. I am finding that he is<br />
pulling away from Visions and realigning himself with local AA members.<br />
It is hard to know who is &#8220;safe&#8221; at this time, I guess more will be<br />
revealed.</p>
<p>Kiefer appears to truly embrace his sobriety; he certainly is<br />
appropriately protective of the safe places and people concept. Kiefer<br />
today exceeds my highest expectations post rehab. I would not have<br />
asked for/or hoped for/ this miraculous outcome with Kiefer, prior to<br />
sending him to Visions, I continue to be completely convinced that<br />
miracles happen at &#8220;Camp Visions.&#8221; The test of time will certainly<br />
reveal more, however, right now, today, life is completely changed,<br />
renewed, revitalized and appreciated by not only Kiefer, but our entire<br />
family as well.</p>
<p>Kiefer begins his new school tomorrow, Monday, November 30th, 2009. We<br />
met with administrators Wednesday and they will be contacting the<br />
teacher at Visions for ideas. We have enrolled Kiefer in the new<br />
district and it appears they may be able to give him credit for his<br />
efforts at Visions. Kiefer is looking forward to beginning the new high<br />
school program taught at the local university, there are approximately<br />
25 intellectually gifted students in the program and it is highly<br />
individualized. By &#8220;changing everything&#8221; I see a new light in Kiefer, I<br />
will continue to try to change things for him so that he can prosper.<br />
Since Kiefer is a Junior I see this small, personal, educational<br />
setting as a true opportunity where he can flourish and grow<br />
intellectually without the stress of a traditional high school, Kiefer<br />
is looking forward to the change and relief of &#8220;school stress.&#8221;</p>
<p>We also met with the family and adolescent counselors last week and<br />
begin both groups this next week in addition to individual counseling<br />
for Kiefer and myself. The family of teenagers group meets Monday and<br />
the Adolescent group meets Thursday, we may not attend the Tuesday<br />
group session as it overlaps Monday&#8217;s group. His new counselor seems to<br />
have made good initial contact with Kiefer &#8211; time will tell. We know<br />
that we will not have the same level of counseling that was available<br />
at Visions; however, we have made good contact here and are beginning<br />
to develop a local support network for counseling. I will be inquiring<br />
about the Alegent Adolescent psychiatrist on Monday, so that we can<br />
have Kiefer&#8217;s medication supported by Alegent staff, keeping everything<br />
within the same medical team. Kiefer has also decided to retain his<br />
newer physician who has knowledge of his addiction issues. I believe<br />
this to be a very good decision as it is very important for everyone on<br />
the medical team to be involved with Kiefer&#8217;s recovery program.</p>
<p>The only issue that I am concerned about today is the smoking issue.<br />
Kiefer continues to really want to smoke. Somewhat like the medication<br />
(which he is continuing to take without incidence) I have decided to<br />
reconsider the topic at the end of 30 days or sooner if needed and<br />
discuss it with the counselors as I have told Kiefer that the contract<br />
cannot be changed without team approval, he is okay with this and is<br />
not pressing me on the topic.</p>
<p>Kiefer does miss the Visions staff enormously and his friends and<br />
sponsor in California. I have told him we will plan to return to<br />
California for a long weekend during school break around the Christmas<br />
holidays. I sense a natural transition is occurring in this regard and<br />
Kiefer is beginning to build a new network of sober friends around him.<br />
He has not asked to go out however I did allow him to go to dinner with<br />
a couple of sober friends to celebrate a 3 year sobriety b-day. Kiefer<br />
returned looking happy and relaxed. We have found a few young people<br />
meetings where the demographic really is teenagers; Kiefer likes the AA<br />
houses (clubs) and has genuinely enjoyed all the meetings we have gone<br />
to. I gave him his 90 day chip on Monday; it was the same chip I got 19<br />
years ago. We were able to find a meeting on Thanksgiving that Kiefer<br />
thoroughly enjoyed, it was a bit irreverent, and so his 90 days began<br />
on Monday, November 23rd, 2009. Sunday night we did not get in until<br />
midnight, so we did not attend a meeting, the only night since Kiefer<br />
left Visions.</p>
<p>The only thing that we have had difficulty getting put in order is the<br />
Southworth Monitoring program for drug testing, We are playing phone<br />
tag with the counselor, but have received the packets. Monday we shall<br />
try to make contact with her and get the program started. Kiefer needs<br />
to be the responsible party for checking in &#8211; as it is his recovery<br />
program &#8211; I will assist if necessary as I consider this to be one if<br />
the most important components for living at home. I agree with Visions<br />
wisdom that returning home on holidays is not ideal and should be<br />
avoided whenever possible. We have had a little difficulty reaching<br />
people; however, I am happy to report that having the additional family<br />
around has actually helped the week progress. Grandma is sleeping at<br />
our house since Wednesday, Kiefer&#8217;s only grandparent and the cousins<br />
have been fun &#8211; lots of wicked card playing. You will be happy to know<br />
that Susie has attended several AA meetings with us and has been a very<br />
positive support for both Kiefer and myself, she is watching for<br />
dangers and reporting to me if she sees a problem &#8211; so far only the<br />
smoking issue has come up. Susie has exceeded my expectations in this<br />
regard, her time at Visions and counseling with you made the<br />
difference, I believe her outlook is also brighter today and she sees<br />
herself as a support not only to Kiefer but the entire family as well.<br />
A side benefit is that I believe she is curbing her own drinking which<br />
is prevalent for most college students.</p>
<p>So far &#8211; excellent! I am trying not to get my hopes up, however, today<br />
everything is very, very, good, there is a bright future, and there is<br />
hope.</p>
<p>Thank you and Kind regards,</p>

<p>Respect is what we want from others, we want them to respect our ideas,<br />
lifestyles, beliefs and ultimately every piece of our puzzle. The major<br />
disconnect seems to be in our eager willingness to except it and our<br />
reluctance to give it. We find ourselves shocked at the fact everyone<br />
is unenthusiastic in their use of respect towards us, when we ourselves<br />
neglect to give the example of how we expect to be treated. It all<br />
boils down to respect for ourselves and others. Without it, confidence<br />
can drop, morals and values take a back seat and suddenly we are stuck<br />
in the age old dilemma where we won&#8217;t be courteous unless treated with<br />
such. A word to the wise: treat others the way you except to be treated<br />
and life will be much more fulfilling.</p>

<p>Self respect is an imperative quality; especially in these teenage<br />
years where self discoveries becomes the main focus of our lives. It<br />
has everything to do with self confidence and nothing to do with being<br />
arrogant. There may be a thin line between the two, but being confident<br />
ultimately leads to self respect. It is important to be proud of<br />
yourself. To know your boundaries because you can respect there are<br />
some adventures you would rather not embark on is a feature most people<br />
admire. Now I won&#8217;t claim that self respect is being true to your<br />
boundaries and your opinions even when they are to an extreme. Most of<br />
the time, I look at people who claim they are perfectly fine with their<br />
promiscuous sexuality or risky behaviors and assume they are trying to<br />
conceal the fact that somewhere deep down, they are not quite sure what<br />
they are doing. There are exceptions, but they are hard to find. The<br />
truth is it is very easy for outside viewers to see through false self<br />
respect, so it is much better to make sure the picture you portray is<br />
realistic. Self respect is not a misdeed; it does not make you less<br />
likable, it actually has quite the opposite effect.</p>

<p>What exactly is respect? Some sort of character trait that we are<br />
expected to learn because it is deemed as something helpful? An<br />
attribute expected to make us grateful when we fully achieve something<br />
that can be “respected” by others? It’s a combination and so much more.<br />
I may sound old-fashioned, but it is something that is meant for those<br />
we look up to. It is something meant to achieve respect from others and<br />
have pride in ourselves. It is something which helps us to understand<br />
the connection we can have with everyone.<br />
Respect is listening to someone’s opinions without having to undermine<br />
everything they say the second they say it. It is completely<br />
closed-minded and irrational to be planning a counter attack to another<br />
person’s opinion without letting them explain their logic. It happens<br />
all the time. Then to expect that same person to feel open to your<br />
assail of their beliefs and respect your opinions in a way you<br />
neglected to respect theirs is simply hypocritical. It would take a<br />
saint to be kind enough not to tune you out. We all do it, but the<br />
difference is if we recognize it is discourteous and work to change the<br />
automatic guard we put up. A large part of my perception of a person is<br />
based on their respect of people with differing ideas. I cannot express<br />
how utterly disheartening it is when I see or experience someone who is<br />
so insolent and close-minded that they refuse to allow any differing<br />
ideas to go without condemnation. Since plenty of people are so<br />
critical of others beliefs, it has become perfectly acceptable for them<br />
to be carelessly unaware of their own discourtesies.</p>
