Truth or dare games - help

NAS62660

Can anyone help me with how to approach talking to my daughter (11yrs) about truth and dare games? I’ve seen a video she made and sent in a group chat of herself eating soap as school “friends” had dared her to and said they’d done it, none had video proof however.

  • We used to dare each other to do dumb things like this as kids, however it was never expected for anyone to actually do it, the "friends"  may have been trying to just be silly, however not realising your daughter would go through with it. 

    The more worrying thing is that these people could intentionally be trying to get her to do this as a victim. 

    Are these "friends"  usually supportive or are they relatively new to her? I only ask as I'm concerned it might be intended bullying rather than misguided idiocy. 

    I seriously recommend talking to your daughters school about this as I could be dangerous, in the mean time I think simple suggestions of if something seems off run it past an adult. Or that truth or dare is a silly game designed to upset people so best not to play. I obviously don't know your daughter or how she is socially, but maybe pointing out that a true friend would not ask her to do something like that.

    But definitely alert the school.
