I'm in the "never heard of this" camp. But we do, however, keep close tabs on the kid's net activities: lot's of youtube, but none of this. ( My daughter does, however, have an unhealthy interest in young ukelele playing satirists, and christian rock bands. Where have I gone wrong? )
I had a friend in elementary school that I lost contact with, even though he only lived 1/2 block away. Seems that in high school he started snorting freon (R12). I have worked around the stuff my whole life without realizing that kids we're destroying themselves with the stuff. Never did find out how he ended up.
Does anyone have any data on how many "dreamers" fail to wake up? That's the things that's kept me fairly straight through the years: fear of never coming down, or back from whatever "trip" I take. These kids have no sense of self preservation.
