so teenagers in mongolia are surfing the net and playing this game?
this # is strange.
what kind of an impressionable dumbass would do this crap?
kids do stupid stuff. all of us did. even when i was at the height of my stupid if someone told me to cut my arms up for a while then jump off a building i would have told them to get bent
So, no kids have actually killed themselves playing this "game"?

That article is abysmal. The only Police cited is a friggin PSCO on twitter, 2 schoolgirls committed suicide, investigation includes their social media accounts not this game specifically. Somehow this is all being linked to 130 deaths somewhere else.
More hype and fear mongering with tenuous BS from the daily mail.

Oh you are a peach
So kids with mental issues are harming themselves, the game calls them stupid and worthless and
There you are saying the exact same thing as the game
I hope you are not a parent
The kids of the Parents Calling their kids dumbasses is exactly who this game targets
Do you engage your brain, really?
Why not finish your statement with the obvious, kids that stupid don't deserve to live....
Kids need love, attention, respect and care, not what you preach

According to an investigation done by Radio Free Europe, there is no official mention of death groups or the Blue Whale game in the police investigations of the quoted Russian teen suicides yet. The point is that in the suicides said to be caused by the Blue Whale game, the onus is still in the suspicion/theory stage, and even then, the game can hardly be held directly responsible.
The phenomenon and the stories are of Russian origin — a country with the second highest teen suicide rates in the world (after New Zealand).

come off it. i didnt finish the statement with what you said cause thats not how i feel.
and i do think they are impressionable dumbasses if they do this. im allowed to think that way about them and im allowed to post it here. i would never tell a kid that is in pain that though.
and yeah kids do need love and compassion. that does not have to come from me on a message board they are not on.
what exactly am i preaching? my opinion the kids should tell these people to get bent?

sickos have created another way to mess with kids minds via the net.

From what I can tell from a cursory analysis; no. In England certainly not, although we now have the mail to thank for inserting it into the public consciousness here where it'll no doubt become a thing for already depressed kids to latch onto.
Does that change anything? No, because we can all mindlessly regurgitate the meme on Facebook regardless of the truth and win concerned parent points from people we don't even care about until the next irrational media created hype train comes along.
