Called "challenges," these stunts range from harmless to horrifying: There are the silly ones (such as the Mannequin Challenge); the helpful ones (like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge); and the slightly risky ones (such as the Make Your Own Slime Challenge). But sometimes, challenges are downright dangerous, resulting in physical injury -- and possibly even death. So what's a parent to do?

Below are some of the hottest challenges that have swept social media; some fade and then make a comeback. In most cases, kids are watching these challenges on YouTube purely for entertainment, but some challenges inspire kids to try them out themselves. (In fact, the safe ones can be fun for families to try.) Others -- like the Backpack Challenge -- are often done with the goal of filming other kids and broadcasting the results online. While there could be a new one as soon as tomorrow, they do seem to fall into certain categories, and there's some universal advice that parents can follow, no matter the challenge.

Funny

Try Not to Laugh Challenge. Popularized by YouTubers like Markiplier, this trend involves watching short, funny videos and trying not to laugh. It's simple and harmless, though there's often a lot of laughing at others' expense.

Whisper Challenge. You may have seen this one on Jimmy Fallon: One person wears headphones playing loud music. The other person says a phrase out loud, and the one listening to music tries to read their lips and repeat the phrase. Hilarity ensues.

Mannequin Challenge. A group of people gets together, poses, and freezes in place, and someone with a camera walks around recording the scene while music plays. Even celebrities have gotten in on this one, including Michelle Obama, Ellen, and Adele.

Food

Eat It or Wear It Challenge. This one takes some prep: Put some different foods in separate bags and number them. A player chooses a number, checks out the food, and decides to eat it or wear it. If they eat it, they can dump the remainder on another player's head. If they choose to wear it ... you can guess what happens. Other than a huge mess (and food allergies), this one is low-risk.

Hot-Pepper Challenge. You can probably guess: Eat a super hot pepper -- like a habanero or a ghost pepper -- while you film yourself suffering and chugging milk to try to stop the burning. Though most people get through it unscathed, there have been a few reports of people ending up at the hospital.

Cinnamon Challenge. Eat a spoonful of cinnamon, sputter and choke, and record the whole thing for others to enjoy. Again, though there may be some temporary discomfort, most kids won't get hurt -- but some have.

Physical

Bottle-Flipping Challenge. Partly fill a plastic water bottle and toss it in such a way that it lands right-side up. This one got so popular they made apps to replicate the experience!

Backpack Challenge. This one's a little like running a gauntlet. One person runs between two rows of people who try to hit you with heavy backpacks. The goal is to make it to the end without falling down ... but no one ever does. Of course, it's easy for kids to get hurt doing this.

Kylie Lip Challenge. Oh, Kylie Jenner -- and her lips. In an effort to replicate them, kids would put a shot glass over their mouths, suck in, and make their lips swell artificially. Not only can it cause damage, but it also can be an indicator of body insecurities and the emulation of impossible beauty standards.

Frightening

Choking/Fainting/Pass-Out Challenge. To get a high or faint, kids either choke other kids, press hard on their chests, or hyperventilate. Obviously, this is very risky, and it has resulted in death.

Salt and Ice Challenge. If you put salt and ice on your skin, it causes burns, so the purpose of this trend is to endure it for as long as possible.

Blue Whale Challenge. Of all these challenges, this one is the scariest and the most mysterious: Over the course of 50 days, an anonymous "administrator" assigns self-harm tasks, like cutting, until the 50th day, when the participant is supposed to commit suicide. It is rumored to have begun in Russia, and there were reports that suicides were tied to the trend, but those are unverified and likely not true. Apps related to the Blue Whale Challenge were said to appear and were then removed. The biggest concern is teens who are at risk and may be susceptible to trends and media about suicide, because even if the challenge began as an isolated incident or hoax, it could become real.

What to Do

Talk about it. Though we can't always be with our tweens and teens to prevent dangerous behavior, our words really can stay with them. Say, "If you ever want to do an internet challenge, check with me first."

Get them to think. Help your kid think through the challenges and whether they're safe or have potential risks. Say, "Walk through each step and figure out where things could go wrong."

Acknowledge peer pressure. Today's kids think of internet personalities as their peers, so seeing kids on YouTube doing a challenge could influence your kid. Say, "Why do you want to do this? Is this a video of yourself that you really want out in the world?"

Stay (somewhat) up to date. Ask your kid about what's happening in their lives when they're not distracted -- even when it seems like they don't want you to. Sometimes kids are more willing to talk about what's going on with other kids than with themselves, so pose questions about friends, school, and trends. Once the conversation is open, you can get a sense of what your kid thinks about the latest craze -- and if they're safe. Keep an open mind and intervene if you're concerned. Say, "Would you consider doing a viral stunt if someone asked you? Which ones would you do and not do?"

Model responsible online habits. Some parents are the ones recording their kids taking these challenges, so make sure your involvement sends the message you intend. Today it might be harmless, but tomorrow it might be more dangerous. Help your kids make the distinction so they can stay safe. Say, "Let's do a funny challenge together, but we'll only film it if you want to, and we'll only share it with family."

The internet and social media provide young people with a range of benefits, and opportunities to empower themselves in a variety of ways. Young people can maintain social connections and support networks that otherwise wouldn't be possible, and can access more information than ever before. The communities and social interactions young people form online can be invaluable for bolstering and developing young people's self-confidence and social skills.

The use of social media and networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat have become an integral part of Australians' daily lives. While many associate social media with a degradation of young people's social networks and communication skills, a literature review published by the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre found that social networking services actually play a vital role for in young people's lives - delivering educational outcomes; facilitating supportive relationships; identity formation; and, promoting a sense of belonging and self-esteem. Read the review here.

In collaboration with young people, we've documented some of the positive benefits of internet and social media for young people.

Young people as social participants and active citizens

Social networking services can provide an accessible and powerful toolkit for highlighting and acting on issues and causes that affect and interest young people. Social networking services can be used for organising activities, events, or groups to showcase issues and opinions and make a wider audience aware of them. E.g. Coordinating band activities, fundraisers, and creating awareness of various causes.

Young people developing a voice and building trust

Social networking services can be used to hone debating and discussion skills in a local, national or international context. This helps users develop public ways of presenting themselves. Personal skills are very important in this context: to make, develop and keep friendships, and to be regarded as a trusted connection within a network. Social networking services can provide young people with opportunities to learn how to function successfully in a community, navigating a public social space and developing social norms and skills as participants in peer groups.

Young people as content creators, managers and distributors

Social networking services rely on active participation: users take part in activities and discussions on a site, and upload, modify or create content. This supports creativity and can support discussion about ownership of content and data management.

Young people who use social networking services to showcase content - music, film, photography or writing - need to know what permissions they are giving the host service, so that they can make informed decisions about how and what they place on the site.

Users might also want to explore additional licensing options that may be available to them within services - for example Creative Commons licensing - to allow them to share their work with other people in a range of ways.

Young people as collaborators and team players

Social networking services are designed to support users working, thinking and acting together. They also require listening and compromising skills. Young people may need to ask others for help and advice in using services, or understand how platforms work by observing others, particularly in complex gaming or virtual environments. Once users have developed confidence in a new environment, they will also have gained the experience to help others.

Young people as explorers and learners

Social networks encourage discovery. If someone is interested in certain books, bands, recipes or ideas, it's likely that their interest will be catered for by a social networking service or group within a service. If users are looking for something more specific or unusual then they could create their own groups or social networking sites. Social networking services can help young people develop their interests and find other people who share the same interests. They can help introduce young people to new things and ideas, and deepen appreciation of existing interests. They can also help broaden users' horizons by helping them discover how other people live and think in all parts of the world.

Young people becoming independent and building resilience

Online spaces are social spaces, and social networking services offer similar opportunities to those of offline social spaces: places for young people to be with friends or to explore alone, building independence and developing the skills they need to recognise and manage risk, to learn to judge and evaluate situations, and to deal effectively with a world that can sometimes be dangerous or hostile. However, such skills can't be built in isolation, and are more likely to develop if supported. Going to a social networking service for the first time as a young person alone can be compared to a young person's first solo trip to a city centre, and thus it is important for a young person to know how to stay safe in this new environment.

Young people developing key and real world skills

Managing an online presence and being able to interact effectively online is becoming an increasingly important skill in the workplace. Being able to quickly adapt to new technologies, services and environments is already regarded as a highly valuable skill by employers, and can facilitate both formal and informal learning. Most services are text based, which encourages literacy skills, including interpretation, evaluation and contextualisation.

Fads are nothing new. We see a lot of people wearing, doing, or saying something, and we want to try it, too. Today, fads on social media can take the form of viral stunts captured on video. And since kids are sensitive to peer pressure and FOMO (fear of missing out), they're often the first to want to try them.

These stunts, also called "challenges," range from harmless to horrifying. They can be silly (the Mannequin Challenge), slightly risky (the Make Your Own Slime Challenge), destructive (the Devious Licks Challenge), or even dangerous (the Choking Challenge). In most cases, kids just watch them for entertainment on platforms like TikTok or YouTube. But sometimes, kids are inspired to try them out and share their own videos of the results.

If you're looking for advice on talking to your kid about the latest social media challenge, check out these tips and conversation starters:

1. Talk about it.

Though we can't always be with our older kids and teens to prevent dangerous behavior, our words can stay with them.

Ask: "Have you ever thought about doing an online challenge?" Listen for hesitation, and let them know it's OK for them to check in with you first before participating.

2. Get them to think it through.

Help your kid think through the challenge and decide if it's safe or has potential risks. Stunts like the Devious Licks or Slap a Teacher challenges are not only wrong, but may have serious legal consequences when other people and property are harmed.

Ask: "What is this challenge asking you to do?" Encourage them to walk through each step and figure out where things could go wrong.

3. Acknowledge peer pressure.

Kids might feel pushed into participating in viral trends for different reasons. Maybe it was a dare, they want attention, or their friends are doing it.

Ask: "Why do you really want to do this? Is this a video of yourself that you really want out in the world?" Talk to them about how their online videos can affect them in the future.

4. Stay (somewhat) up to date.

Ask your kid about what's happening in their lives -- even when it seems like they don't want you to. Sometimes kids are more willing to talk about other kids than about themselves. Pose questions about friends, school, and trends.

Ask: "Would you consider doing a viral stunt if someone asked you? Which ones would you do and not do?" Keep an open mind and intervene if you're concerned about the latest craze.

5. Embrace the good ones.

Encourage your kid to find -- or maybe even start -- a positive online challenge. From feel-good dance crazes to global awareness campaigns, social media trends can spread happiness and motivate positive change.

Ask: "What kinds of challenges could do some good in the world or in our own community?" Help your kids brainstorm fun and safe options that everyone can take part in.

6. Model responsible online habits.

Some parents and caregivers are the ones recording their kids as they try these challenges. Make sure your involvement sends the message you intend.

Ask: "How can I help you with your idea?" Help your kids make the distinction between what is realistic and what may be dangerous so they can stay safe.

For today's digital generation, social media allows your children to easily connect to their friends and family. Social media challenges have become a popular way for children, especially teenagers, to engage with their peers. Some challenges promote causes or unity, like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge or Mannequin Challenge. Unfortunately, dangerous social media challenges have developed, leading children to harm themselves or others due to negative influences or for "likes" and attention. As parents, you should be aware of the top dangerous social media challenges in order to best protect your children.

Six Social Media Challenges to Avoid

Outlet Challenge

Going viral on TikTok, the Outlet Challenge is catching the attention of firefighters. Akin to sticking a fork in a wall socket, the challenge involves children partially plugging a phone charger into an outlet and sliding a penny down the wall, so it comes into contact with the exposed prongs. As a result, sparks are ignited, damaging the electrical system and leading to a house fire or electrocution.

Momo Challenge

Stranger danger has always been prevalent on social media. Coined as a "suicide game," the Momo Challenge allegedly utilized social media channels and WhatsApp to encourage children to perform self-harm in early 2019. Some speculate that the Momo challenge was a hoax to lure children into searching for violent material online or stoke the fears and moral panic in parents. According to lore, after texting a number in the app, children received instructions to perform a series of tasks that mirror horror movies-including self-harm, violent attacks, or suicide-related activities. Children believed they must complete these tasks or Momo would kill them. In 2018, it was reported that two teenagers from Colombia took their own lives because of this challenge. Whether or not the challenge was a hoax, it was enough to spook parents who may have remembered the Slender Man internet lore.

Choking Game

The Choking Game has taken the lives of children for over two decades. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 82 U.S. youths perished between 1995 and 2007 after participating in this deadly game. This challenge involves cutting off oxygen with a belt, rope, or arm pressure. The purpose of the game is to create a sense of euphoria and cause a temporary loss of consciousness. Depriving the brain of oxygen may lead to severe brain cell damage that can affect short-term memory and the ability to concentrate. A surge on social media in 2007 resulted in 79,000 Ontario students participating in the Choking Challenge, and 72 students were sent to the hospital.

Tide Pod Challenge

The Tide Pod Challenge encourages children to post videos of themselves eating Tide Pods. Some even cook the detergent before consumption. This arose from an internet meme on Straight Dope Forum, daring people to consume Tide Pods to "eat clean." According to thePoison Control Center, there is a record of 12,000 cases of ingesting laundry detergent pods in 2017. Consumer Reports noted that swallowing detergent pods may lead to an "upset stomach...excessive vomiting, lethargy...gasping...[and] stopped breathing." Furthermore, this challenge can damage victims' airways and burn their throats.

Salt and Ice Challenge

In the Salt and Ice Challenge, children place salt on an exposed area of their skin and hold ice over it for as long as possible. The goal is to see who can withstand the burning sensation the longest. Unfortunately, mixing salt and ice drops the temperature as low as 0 degrees. As a result, children have received second- and third-degree burns, skin grafts, or skin discoloration.

Cinnamon Challenge

The Cinnamon Challenge became popular on the UK reality television show, Big Brother. It peaked in 2012 when Twitter tweeted the challenge nearly 70,000 times per day. Participants digest a spoonful of ground cinnamon and do not have water for 60 seconds. This stunt can cause immediate choking or gagging on cinnamon. Accidentally inhaling cinnamon can lead to severe lung damage. For example, a Michigan high school student was hospitalized for four days after attempting the Cinnamon Challenge. She suffered from a collapsed right lung and an infection.

How to Prevent Your Children from Trying Dangerous Social Media Challenges

One practical tip to prevent your children from participating in social media challenges is to add them as your friend on all of their digital platforms, including their alternative accounts that they might not be upfront about. Be sure to watch his or her social media activity-who they follow, what type of content they post, etc. Moreover, it is essential to keep the line of communication open. Ask your child about their friends, school, activities, and social media trends. Depending on your child's risk level, it may be best to speak with him or her directly about the specific dangers of social media challenges.

As a parent in the digital age, it's imperative to be aware of the viral trends on social media. Educate yourself and your child on the healthy role social media should play in one's life, as well as the life-long consequences of participating in the challenges. There are some positive ways that teachers and parents can encourage their children to participate in social media. In addition to being aware of what students are being exposed to online, joining social media provides teachers with the benefit of building their professional network.
