⚠️Trigger Warning: Su*c*de, S*lf H*rm⚠️
This is not a joke or a hoax. The Blue Whale challenge is back after 2 years. It's not a game or a harmless challenge. It targets young teenagers and children, but adults can also be targeted.
The Blue Whale challenge starts with getting a DM (Direct Message) from someone with a profile picture similar to the picture below. It is much like the Japanese Momo, who targeted small children. This person threatens to hurt you and your family if you don't accept the challenge. He threatens that if you block him, he will find your IP address. Call the police. If you accept the challenge, you can't back out. DO NOT ACCEPT IT. It is a challenge that always ends in suicide. There are challenges like cutting a blue whale into your arms, standing on the tallest building near you, and other ways that are supposed to make you want to take it a step further. You always have to send a picture for proof you did it to the game master. It almost always ends terribly.
The name originated from the Blue Whales. Blue whales tend to wash themselves up onto the shore as a way to k*ll themselves.
Kids from normal families with normal lives are accepting the challenges. Nobody really knows why, but what they do know is that it almost certainly will end in death. Stay safe, friends!
