Sensitise Teachers, Students On Blue Whale Challenge: Maneka

Union minister Maneka Gandhi has written to all school principals, asking them to sensitise teachers and students on the Blue Whale Challenge, a social media "game" which has reportedly been linked to teenage deaths in several countries, including India. The controversial internet game involves a number of tasks which have to be completed by the player in 50 days. It ends in the person taking their own life.

If one surfs the Internet and does some research about this nonsensical and brutal online game called the ''Blue Whale Challenge'', one would come across a huge list of deaths, not only in India but across the globe. According to Wikipedia, there are approximately 10 deaths recorded in India alone. What kind of a game would want one to sacrifice his/her precious life? The Union Minister is absolutely correct in taking this bold stance.

From whatever I''ve heard about this stupid challenge, I just want to conclude by saying that all the synonyms for the words brutality and inhumanity are extremely less to describe the grossness of the Blue Whale Challenge.

Also, children must not be so injudicious to take up the challenge. Along with the creators of the game, it''s the people who play the game who are equally liable for what has happened till date.

Blue whale is a real threat to the unaware people . Even though it is banned it is still played in many countries of the world and resulting in many deaths access the globe . It was basically made for depressed people thinking that they would enjoy doing something bad with themselves (which was mad thinking ,both by the maker and the people ) but now it has spread across the globe and the result is in front of all of us . The deaths of several people .

I''m not angry on the person who created it, but in the university who expelled him from the university. I really don''t know why this game has spread so much in a less time. Such games should be banned totally. Already teenagers are stressed a lot and many are attempting suicides. This game is like a way to those youngsters.

When I came to know about it I first surfed about about its challenges. It''s so threatening. Reading about it itself made me shiver. I actually don''t want to spread awareness about this game. The more we spread it the more dangers we''ll face in future. Till news channels tell about it I didn''t know about this game exactly. This is dangerous I feel. So I want our government to ban it completely as soon as possible. Do this secretly. Hope people will get out of it soon!
