...but nothing comes even close to what some teens are doing nowadays.
Then you weren't trying hard enough.
I made homemade explosives, drove at 14 and did all kinds of other dumb s***. We're you ever on probation? No? That makes one of us.
- Surfed the hood of the car
- rode a pump jack for the full 8 seconds
- blown up a tree stump with simple home made bombs
- shot a squirrel into the air using a DIY rocket (the squirrel survived the parachute ride back down to earth)
- stole every street sign in our small town
Those are just the highlights. Kids do really dumb things. The lucky ones survive.
ETA: forgot my favorite...when it'd flood, we'd ride tubes in the flood waters rushing out of the creek. Sometimes you get tangled in barbed wire as you cross over fields out in the middle of nowhere. 3 exhausting hours later, we would come out near I20 close to Westbrook and call one of our parents to come get us. Always got grounded for that.

I just ran into a friend from high school over the weekend and we laughed about doing the same thing in his backyard.
Then we went and snorted some birth control pills.

Yeah...we had mesquite trees. You don't climb those unless you are a psycho.
Even worse are the honey locust trees.
I've had tires flattened from the big 4 inch thorns.

Now teens are taking on an even grosser challenge in pursuit of Internet fame — and this one is making stomachs turn, as it is as disgusting as it is dangerous.
Health authorities warn that the new "game" poses a real risk and can kill.
Teens snort condoms then pull them through mouths in disturbing new trend
Perfect reason why "aliens" aren't landing and introducing themselves. Seriously, why would any advanced civilization want to visit us knuckleheads? Now, I did many foolish things back in the mid 70's, but nothing comes even close to what some teens are doing nowadays. First, we had teens encouraging others to eat Tide pods....now this. What will the next fad bring? Darwin is rolling in his grave.

Not a new thing...
We were imitating circus side shows thirty years ago doing this trick...
It's not tough.
Why is this a story?
