#necknominate

Unfortunately, I tend to miss most fads. Being such a serious necromancer, I spend most of my time cloistered in my crypt laboratory. This piqued my interest though, so much so that I decided to investigate by rummaging through the grimoires of my black library. Sadly, there was nothing to be found there, so I was forced to turn to the internet.

Fortunately, Ghoulgle suggested some results for me, so I wasn’t forced to trawl through them to find the most impressive suggestion. Along with many other necromancers, I’ve always suspected Elvis to be alive, so the challenge to raise him from the dead was an impressive one. Nothing could have prepared me for the response.

You see, only one necromancer had actually responded to the challenge. Far be it for me to accuse someone of lying, but I honestly hadn’t expected anyone to have any real proof that they had resurrected the king.

I was mightily impressed when he stated that the reason he hadn’t raised the king was because he was, in fact, the king. That’s right, the king is, to my surprise, not just dead, but undead.

The king is (un)dead.

I wont say it there cos im pretty much the only person who thinks this

so i;ll say it here

I think its fun, if you do it the right way then it can be a laugh for some people

no one is pressured, they do it by choice

it doesn't lower their intelligence, or makes them immature,

they do it for fun

impressing friends is part of the game

its fun, we're young and should do any crazy thing we can without killing ourselves or ending up in jail

if being honest i would do it without the risk of killing myself 

but please for once can you think before you speak, and im not just talking about this

Peer Pressure: the force breaking of the camel's back.

Peer pressure is a common problem; a serious problem and one that needs dealing with. 

From choosing an activity in the classroom to stupid internet crazes such as this 'necknomination'; peer pressure has and can cost lives. 

At a young age something like peer pressure can make or break a child: an inevitable fact of growing up and sometimes a very valuable lesson. But when twenty-somethings are still giving into this pressure, a problem is present. 

How are you not old enough to have your own mind?

How is putting yourself in danger for the sake of a few facebook likes 'cool'?

Why is more not being done to tackle this?

As adults we should know better, how can we expect children to follow what we preach if we are bowing to the same condemnation? 

As a teacher, an educator and a guardian of young people I beg you: stop this public exhibition of bad influence.

Stand up to the bullies.
