Written by families thenselves after The Choking Game entered thier lives.
    A Survey was given to 500 boys and 500 girls ages 10-14 to
    assess their knowledge and participation of the "Choking Game"
    (aka Pass Out or Fainting Game)

Of the boys surveyed:        53% admitted to playing.

Of those who had played:   86% admitted to playing 2x/week
                                      64% admitted to playing alone.
    When asked where they had learned of the game and where they
    had played,
    the number one answer for both was "at school"
