What is Blue whale game?
Blue whale game is an Internet game where players are assigned 50 different tasks to be completed in 50 days by the administrator (also known as ‘curator’).
Participants are expected to share photos/videos of the tasks completed by them as ‘proofs’.
These daily tasks start off easy – like waking up at 4:20 AM, listening to some music, watching a horror movie and then slowly escalate to the dangerous mode and eventually suicide.
Tasks include:
poke your hand with needle many times
Draw a whale on a sheet of paper, send a photo to curator
Do something painful to yourself, make yourself sick
cut your lips
Go to a bridge, stand on edge.
wake up at 4:20 AM and go to a roof(the higher the better)

All that parents can do is start getting more engaged with your kids.They should be able to share their feeling and thoughts with you without fear of judged or rejected.
