Youth are always getting into trouble and playing bizarre games, but the latest activity popular among Canadian youth is just downright dangerous. Students are turning themselves into human flames, either by lighting their clothes on fire or using aerosol deodorant and hairsprays to ignite themselves. The goal of the game is to be the biggest living flame. With so much to live for, why would these young people be toying with fire? They could scar themselves for life and seriously injure themselves. Hopefully the press this is getting will get teachers and parents to keep a better eye out. Already Canada has a law that bans retailers from selling matches and lighters to anyone under age, and are required to ID customers. I always thought this was ridiculous, but maybe they’re onto something.  This new pastime came to light when a 14-year old boy suffered third-degree burns to his stomach after another male sprayed deodorant on him and set him alight.
PC Doug Graham from Middlesex Ontario Provincial Police said: 'This is a fairly common thing around the province. It's certainly an issue we have to notify parents about.'
