Parent meeting “Children’s safety on the Internet or deadly games for teenagers”

IN in social networks Groups have become more active, hooking teenagers on the “game of death” and pushing them to take a fatal step. The “curators” of the groups invite them to inflict scars, get in touch at 4.20, cut their wrists and step by step lead them to the final line.

Scratch a whale on your hand

Information about the game “Run or Die,” which is dangerous for teenagers, is actively being spread online; in another case, it is called “Blue Whale” (“Silent House”). Hearing about this, some parents panic, others are absolutely calm, because they trust their children and do not believe that they could act so stupidly. But still, fears for our children are a normal feeling for parents. Therefore, the best thing we can do is to teach the child not to succumb to such provocations and to be able to defend his point of view.

The so-called “Blue Whale” (“Silent House”) is a deadly game, in the end of which children commit suicide. The essence of the game is quite simple. A teenager, having started playing it, regularly receives various tasks. The first one is to scratch a blue whale on your hand and send a photo as proof. The last task will be to commit suicide. It is already known that the “hosts” of the games blackmail the participants by calculating their addresses and, if suicide does not happen, the death of someone close to the teenagers allegedly occurs. Who plays the role of “curators” has not yet been established. These can be both mentally unhealthy adults and teenagers with a bunch of complexes who are trying to assert themselves through the death of others. The Blue Whale game lasts 50 days. For exactly 50 days, the teenager receives tasks that he must complete, and each time they are more and more suicidal in nature. There was a case when the task of cutting veins was carried out on the fourth day. And the strangest thing is that few people complain about these groups on social networks.

In Russia, at least 16 teenagers have already committed suicide after starting to play Blue Whale. And there are more than one or two death games on social networks... Considering that they attract teenagers in other countries, then this is a real disaster.

Psychological signs of gaming addiction

Signs that appear in the behavior of children who play such games are sadness, aggression, the child covers his face with his hands or something else, and shows his index finger. As a rule, he does not get enough sleep, even if he goes to bed early. See if your child sleeps in the early morning hours, does he draw whales, butterflies, unicorns? Is he a member of groups containing the following in the title: “Whales are swimming up”, “Wake me up at 4.20”, f57, f58, “Quiet House”, “Rina”, “Nya.bye”, “Sea of ​​Whale”, “50 days” before mine..." In correspondence with friends (on my personal “wall”) there are phrases “wake me up at 4.20”, “I’m in the game”. It is DANGEROUS if numbers appear ranging from 50 or less.

In Mariupol, a 15-year-old girl jumped from the 13th floor. According to friends, she was subscribed to a “death group” on a social network and carried out tasks for the moderator, who ordered her to step from a height. A Mariupol resident posted a photo online on December 8, taken from a height of the 13th floor - this photo was also a condition of the quest. This is exactly what many child suicides in Russia did. And on December 8 and 9, “death groups” announced a wave of teenage suicides. Muscovite Ekaterina Melikhova, who provides psychological assistance to teenagers, wrote about this on a social network.

How to protect your child from the “death group”

1. Psychologists advise parents to be more attentive to their children and constantly maintain emotional contact with them. A child should not feel lonely, abandoned, deprived of the care of his parents, their human love and support. He should seek protection from his family, and not surf the Internet in search of various groups, which, as practice shows, can even be deadly. Many experts note that those children who are themselves worried about this moment some kind of mental trauma. The game is designed only for insecure people trying to prove their coolness, courage, courage. It will be useful to tell children that a truly brave person takes risks only in especially important cases, and does not exchange his life for unjustified heroism. I am convinced that if the parents are extremely interconnected with the teenager and there is peace of mind in his heart, he will see the Blue Whale group in social media.
network and will definitely pass by it as psychologically inappropriate to his interest and mood.

2. Invite your child to memorize a few phrases that can be used to fend off attempts to take it “weakly”:

• I don't want to, I don't care what you think of me, I won't play this.
• I have more interesting things to do. Which? None of your business.
• I'm not interested. I don't do anything that doesn't interest me.

3. Tell your child that being a spectator of someone else's stupidity is also undesirable. Refusing to be a spectator of some dangerous extreme sport is a chance to protect guys who are trying to be in public from unnecessary risks.

The favorite symbol of most of these publics is whales. They are present in titles, pictures, videos, posts. The members of these groups also call themselves whales. The whales were not chosen by chance - these animals sometimes wash ashore, killing themselves.

How to restore emotional contact with your child

Parents should try to develop and strengthen the skills of positive communication and behavior with their child every day:

Always greet your child kindly, take into account the kindness of the eyes, smile, and affectionately pronounced name when meeting. This is very important at the first contact, i.e. the preparation for contact, entering the situation and exiting the situation itself. And update each new contact in the morning, since the child loses the emotional impression of the past the next day. You have to repeat everything every time and develop again and again the positive habit of being such a benevolent parent.

The administrator of the “death groups” and the creator of the ominous hashtag, Philip Budeikin, was detained in St. Petersburg in early December last year. The public pages in which he pushed children to their deaths are blocked. The man admitted that, thanks to his direct participation, 17 children died during the year. However, unknown “curators” continue to contact teenagers and push them to death.

• If contact is established and the child reacts favorably, then ask him about his well-being, health, and affairs. The formed mutual trust will allow you to continue to remain in close contact, ask questions and receive answers.
• Listen carefully to the child, what he is talking about, do not interrupt him in conversation, let him speak out, relax, feel needed, useful, significant. By communicating in this way, your child will receive respect from you and, for the support provided to him, will begin to feel the same respect for you.
• Be compliant, restrained, modest in behavior. Experiencing such an influence, your child will thus feel respect and approval on your part and thereby tune in to a positive wave of communication.
• Speak calmly, in few words; Gesture with your hands, smoothly, flexibly. Emotional balance, integrity of words, flexibility of body language will not cause irritable reactions in the child and will create an environment of comfortable relationships.
• Give your child deserved praise and show sincere signs of sympathy - this will maintain an atmosphere of friendly relations.
• Find everything positive in your child. The main thing in this case is to at least notice a beautiful button or clean shoes in him, to evoke the first reaction of acceptance, because in every bad thing there is always good, to accept the child for who he is - this means to initially forgive him.
• Always thank your child for the attention they give you in conversation or for help. Always do this sincerely. By following all these recommendations every day, you can achieve a good result of mutual understanding in behavior and communication with your child.

According to the Russian publication “ New Newspaper“, of the 130 young people who committed suicide over the past six months throughout Russia, about 80 were in these “death groups” and were preparing to deliberately take their own lives, acting on someone else’s orders.

Dear parents, teachers, drivers! Let's be extremely attentive to our children at home, at work, on the roads and prevent the impending wave of consequences of dangerous games.

From the editor. Fortunately, there are no officially registered cases in Belarus where children were harmed by these games. However, similar games shook up Russia and Kazakhstan.

On the social networks VKontakte and Instagram (it is now becoming more and more popular - you don’t need to write there, to be noticed you just need to post a funny picture just taken with a smartphone, and this is easier) in late January - early February, pictures with whales swimming in ocean, and with alluring hashtags “ blue whale", "Wake me up at 4.20", "I'm in the game", "Quiet house". Hashtags - for those who don’t know - are links that, by clicking on them, can take you to the desired page on a social network or to a specific community.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as of yesterday, not a single case of suicide due to the Blue Whale game caused by the Internet has been recorded in Kyrgyzstan.
Employees of the operational units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are closely monitoring the situation. In addition to monitoring dubious sites, employees of the Main Directorate of Criminal Investigation (GUUR) and the Inspectorate for Juvenile Affairs (IDN) are tasked with carrying out preventive and explanatory work on the Blue Whale game in educational institutions.

Blue whale as a modern suicide group

At the beginning of February, Ukrainian society was rocked by news about the so-called deadly suicidal games “Blue Whale” in groups and social networks. Allegedly, teenagers are so influenced by unknown curators of a dangerous game that they commit suicide.
“Scotch” tried to figure out how serious the problem is and whether parents should fear for their children.
The Russian media wrote about the “Blue Whale” last year – then Novaya Gazeta conducted a scandalous investigation into death groups. Many were very biased towards the material, which emotionally and biasedly outlined the history of the creation of deadly public pages on social networks and made clear conclusions about the relationship between the “Blue Whale” and the increase in the number of suicides among teenagers in Russia.

Remember, as a child, you could also play a similar viral game, but much simpler - for example, a “chain letter” arrived, which had to be distributed within a certain time, otherwise a “mysterious curse” and the like awaited you. Naturally, no one thought of taking such pieces of paper seriously, much less believing in what was written.

Blue whale “swims” in the VK group

What it consists of: a teenager writes to a group. He is gradually given tasks that he must complete in live. After completing them, he was assigned a curator who talked about further actions, namely staging a suicide: cutting his veins, hanging himself, drinking a bunch of pills, etc., etc. Next, the teenager performs this theatrical act on camera, and then goes offline for a while, supposedly considered dead. Russian media wrote about the VK group “Blue Whale” last year - then Novaya Gazeta conducted a scandalous investigation into death groups. Many were very biased towards the material, which emotionally and biasedly outlined the history of the creation of deadly public pages on social networks, Blue Whale groups on VK, and made clear conclusions about the relationship between the Blue Whale and the increase in the number of teenage suicides in Russia.
Be that as it may, the topic surfaced, one of the organizers of the Blue Whale group on VKontakte, Philip Lis, was detained, and criminal cases were initiated.

Blue whale as a group of death

In the age of technology, it has become very difficult to protect your child from various types of inadequate information. All these things a la “parental controls” and methods of blocking sites stopped working over time. If a child learned about something bad, it was not necessarily from the Internet. It is quite possible that a child will receive unnecessary information from those around him, be it classmates or friends who do not have any “parental control”.

In the group of death, the game "Blue Whale", things seem to be a little more serious. To participate in the game, you must leave the hashtag #bluekit on your social network page. The hashtag is often accompanied by poetry; Here are some pretty typical ones:
Blue house that stands on the waves
Blue whale swimming in the clouds
Take me, whale, to your place
I'm waiting for instructions. I'm ready to play.
The game begins after the message is published: the user is supposedly contacted by the “curator” of the game, usually from an account that cannot be identified. He explains the rules:
don't tell anyone about this game;
always complete my tasks, no matter what they are;
For failure to complete any task, you are excluded from the game forever and bad consequences await you.
The curator also issues assignments; there are most likely 50 of them - one per day (probably a reference to the book "50 Days Before I Suicide").
As Meduza reports, there is a standard list of tasks - it was sent (in text and a picture) by several players and those who want to play Blue Whale in the death group of VKontakte users.

“Blue Whale”, “Quiet House”, “Sea of ​​Whale” - online games that drive teenagers to suicide have reached Ukraine. The game begins when a child voluntarily joins an online community. Curators ask him to complete tasks (for example, make cuts on his body) and provide evidence in the form of photos or videos. And although refusal to perform actions at the initial stages of the game only threatens exclusion from it, by the end of the game the curators no longer allow the child to quit the game, threatening the child himself and his family members. The average duration of the game is 50 days, and the end result is suicide. The teenager participating in such a game carefully hides his actions from others, so parents do not always have time to notice that something is wrong with their child. Psychologist Daria Otych tells Apostrophe what is important to protect your child from participating in a deadly game.

Why are teenagers attracted to the Blue Whale?

First of all, it is worth understanding who a teenager is. A teenager is a person who is just beginning to “discover” himself. It is at this age that self-esteem is formed (and not by parents and teachers as before), many knowledge about oneself changes (I’m not “good” because my mother said, but I’m “good” because I do this and that).

For a teenager to build a “picture” of himself, the reaction of his peers is important, but adults lose their authority because they continue to consider him a child. A heart-to-heart conversation often doesn’t happen - parents pay attention to secondary issues (is he eating well, is he dressed warmly, what are his grades at school). We usually don’t talk about internal experiences. But communicating with friends is a completely different matter - because they are going through the same problems.

Do not forget that teenagers undergo hormonal changes in their body, which is why their emotional background is unstable. They can be sad or happy for no particular reason, which, of course, scares them. In an effort to get rid of this, a child can come into contact with completely different people and sometimes do strange things. This is a kind of cry for help.

It is important to understand that modern teenagers are different from previous generations - they are surrounded by information technology from birth and function both in the real world and in cyberspace. At the same time, very often their life on the Internet is more eventful, successful and vibrant than in reality. There are more friends here, there is an opportunity to communicate with others at any time, post photos that will show that his life is bright, beautiful and prosperous. If a child is an outsider in real life, then on social networks he can easily create a new successful life for himself.

Modern teenagers often do not know how to build relationships in the real world. Their connection is maintained online, and their feelings are simplified into emoticons. With such communication, facial expressions are not used. Adults cannot understand a child because his face simply does not reflect emotions. The inability to interact directly shifts a teenager’s sphere of communication to online (it’s easier, more familiar and understandable for him).

Games like "Blue Whale" can satisfy many children's needs. The main one, of course, is attention from peers. Unable to understand his inner world, a teenager often adopts the external attributes characteristic of his group of friends. This is how teenage subcultures are formed. And if earlier popularity could be earned, especially by dressing, doing something special, now many children get it online - they write their own blogs, reviews on Youtube, post photos on Instagram, etc.

Encourages participation in similar games and movies. Recently, there have been a lot of films about teenagers who participate in survival games (for example, "The Hunger Games" and "Labyrinth"). And in July 2016, the film “Nerve” was released, starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco. Its main slogan is “Play to survive...”. The main characters participate in a similar game, performing various tasks, often risky, and receiving a monetary reward for each of them. The film was not without romantic relationships between the characters. Well, what's not an incentive for a teenager to try something like this?

Another reason for a child to participate in such games is to attract the attention of parents. After all, if adults find out about the danger that threatens their child, they will understand the depth of his feelings, feel guilty, pay attention and show love.

The whole topic of teenage suicide is related to receiving love and attention. A child’s picture of their death is often associated with a fantasy about how the funeral will take place (a beautiful body, flowers surrounding them in mourning clothes, mourning, feeling guilty for not being “loved”, etc.). In such fantasies, the child strives to get what he lacks in the real world. Since a child usually does not see death often until adolescence, he is not afraid of it.

Teen suicide is not a desire to die. Rather, it is an opportunity to get away from the problems that arise for a child in connection with acquiring a new social status (unhappy love, rejection by others, inability to build relationships, etc.). Suicide can also be a manifestation of auto-aggression - if a child cannot cope with his problems and for some reason cannot show anger outwardly, then he directs it towards himself. The realization that he is not what others want him to be (to put it simply, not ideal) can also push him to commit suicide.

However, suicide as completing tasks in an online game differs from ordinary suicide in that a teenager may not experience negative emotions. This makes it more difficult for adults to recognize an impending threat. To help a child not succumb to the destructive influence of strangers, an adult must be attentive to his needs. It is important to understand what can be done to establish contact with a teenager, and what clearly should not be done.

What parents shouldn't do

1. Arrange checks and searches - the child will only close himself off and learn to better hide his actions. A teenager needs his own territory, a private life. Online conversations are the most intimate things he can have, so the parent not only has no right to read them. By invading a child’s personal space, an adult reveals his disrespect and non-acceptance of the teenager as a fully functioning person.

2. Prohibit communication on social networks. A significant part of a child’s life is spent online, and he will not be ready to part with it. To continue communication, a teenager can secretly access the Internet. This will teach him to deceive. If the child is very obedient and does not violate the ban, then the understanding that the virtual life of friends is passing by will make the teenager unhappy.

3. Scold the child and shout at him. It is better to express your experiences calmly, naming the feelings and states that the parent is experiencing. This will satisfy the teenager’s need for “deep” and understanding communication, will allow him to establish contact, understand the situation and understand the position of the adult. In addition, by talking through his states, the adult shows how he regulates his emotions, which will allow the teenager to learn to do the same.

4. Put pressure on the teenager. You should not expect a child to meet the expectations of his parents. It is important to explain to him that even if the teenager does not meet all the criteria for a successful person, his parents still love him and are ready to support him.

5. Compare with others. By comparing a teenager with others, adults reject him for who he is. This violates the teenager’s self-identity (I’m not what I should be) and develops in him a feeling of loneliness, uselessness and inferiority.

6. Frighten with the unknown (phrases like “just try”). Incomprehensible punishments develop fantasies about “what could it be.” Such phrases increase anxiety, which can become unbearable for the child (and provoke unwanted actions). If, after committing prohibited actions, the child’s punishment turned out to be too insignificant or not at all, then the parents lose authority.

7. Ignore the child’s manipulative phrases on the topic of his death (“it would be better if I died…”, “what would you say at my funeral?”, etc.). It is very important that adults talk about death with the child: that it can be terrible, ugly, what awaits a person after it (depending on the religious affiliation of the family). This topic of conversation will make you think about death and see it not only with your own eyes. Of course, you shouldn’t overdo it with such conversations - they will scare the child. But this is precisely how the fear of death is reinforced.

What can parents do?

1. Talk about similar groups on the Internet. Explain that teenagers are manipulated by other people who pursue their own goals. The child’s problems are not important to the game’s supervisors.

2. Create an opportunity for a teenager to seek help. It is important that the child understands that there are a number of adults who can help him - parents, a teacher, a school psychologist, a social service worker, a helpline or a priest (if the family is a believer), etc.

3. Do not leave the child alone with his problems. By being interested in his life, the parent shows his love and care. By discussing the situation with the child, the adult teaches him to look at it from different sides, which contributes to its effective resolution. The parent was already in adolescence and has experience in dealing with some difficulties. But you shouldn’t turn the conversation into a monologue “And in our time...”.

4. Describe your feelings. In this way, the adult will show how important the child and his inner world are to him. The exchange of emotions will allow the teenager to establish contact and navigate the situation.

5. Know the child's values. To do this, it is quite enough to simply talk about them. You can ask your child about what worries him, who he wants to become, what he wants to achieve, and what he would like to get as a result of solving his problems. New values ​​should be introduced very carefully, without pressure, not ridiculing, but carefully convincing the teenager of their necessity.

6. Be able to ask for forgiveness if you are wrong. By doing this, the adult will show that he respects the child’s feelings, and also gives him the right to make mistakes. After all, there are no ideal people.

Of course, the interests of teenagers change quite quickly and attention to such online games will soon subside, but it is important to remember that the participation of parents in the lives of their children can protect them from a fairly large number of dangers.

"Blue Whale" ("Silent House") is a deadly game, in the end of which children commit suicide.

Unfortunately, this game has become popular among Russian teenagers. The deadly game has already attracted the attention of the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The essence of the Blue Whale game is quite simple. A teenager, having started playing it, regularly receives various tasks. The first one is to scratch a blue whale on your hand and send a photo as proof. The last task will be to commit suicide.

It is already known that the “leading” games blackmail participants with the fact that they have calculated their IP addresses and if suicide does not happen, death will occur for their loved ones.

Who plays the role of “leaders” has not yet been established. This can be both mentally unhealthy adults and teenagers with a bunch of complexes who are trying to assert themselves through the death of others.

The Blue Whale game lasts 50 days. Every day the tasks that the child receives are more and more suicidal in nature. There was a case when the task for cutting veins was on day 4. And the strangest thing is that few people complain about these groups on social networks.

In Russia, at least 16 teenagers have already committed suicide after starting to play the game “Blue Whale”. Teenagers in other countries also play this game. So among those who committed suicide is a college student from Karaganda (Kazakhstan). The uncle of the deceased girl told reporters that the whole family knew about the existence of death groups on the Internet. But no one imagined that this would affect them too. A few hours before her suicide, the girl behaved as usual, talked with her family on familiar topics, without giving away any plans to die.

“Nobody suspected anything. The night before yesterday she got up. I talked to someone on the phone, walked around, walked around. Then I went to the bathroom, washed myself, got dressed and hung myself. We visited them yesterday. I decided to talk about this so that people would pay attention to their children. “I wanted to warn everyone,” the man said.

“Galya studied at school to become a cook. Should have finished. Such a naive, modest girl. She shared more personal things with her grandparents than with her parents. She didn't have a boyfriend. The other day I promised to come and stay with my grandparents. Before all this happened, she erased her phone and turned it off. Then, when they turned it on, it turned out to be blocked,” said another relative of the deceased.

Once the phone was unlocked, it contained an entry that indicated she had been playing a deadly game. “Blue whale, quiet house, 420 I’m in the game, test 57 or 84?”, this inscription read.

How to protect your child from death groups

Psychologists advise parents to be more attentive to their children. A child should not feel lonely and abandoned. He should seek protection from his family, and not surf the Internet in search of various groups, which, as practice shows, can even be deadly. Experts note that those children who are currently experiencing some kind of mental anguish get involved in the “Blue Whale” game. If there is no wound in a teenager’s heart, he will see the “blue whale” group on VKontakte and pass by.
