为什么孩子应该停止做“橡皮擦挑战”？

那些曾让你哭的事有一天你会笑着讲出来。 ——《我们都是坏孩子》
“橡皮擦挑战”，听起来可能像一个涉及普通教室供应的有趣校园游戏，但它的损害不可轻视。
橡皮擦挑战已经存在好几年了，涉及各种各样的竞赛。孩子和青少年反复执行像诵读字母的任务，同时在皮肤上擦动橡皮胶。比赛持续至最后一个容忍摩擦的孩子被宣布为胜利者。但是这样的挑战不仅仅是在别人面前吹嘘自己的忍耐力，还会因此继发感染而入院治疗。
加州大学洛杉矶分校David Geffen医学院儿科临床助理教授Yolanda Reid Chassiakos博士向《美国新闻》透露，橡皮擦是一种研磨剂。当它摩擦和划伤皮肤时，会导致可能感染的伤口，并且可能变得更为严重。加西亚州立大学北岭分校的Klotz学生健康中心负责人Chassiakos表示，与挑战相关的伤痛可能会持续至赛后相当长的一段时间，尽管最初肾上腺素能减轻一定的痛楚。
Today.com网站引用Facebook的帖子和相关照片，强调了挑战的可能后果。西雅图儿科医生兼西雅图妈妈博客作者Wendy Sue Swanson博士向Today.com网站表示：“孩子们并不知道的一点是，人体皮肤并不是无菌的，它上面分布和定植着细菌，当你破坏你的皮肤屏障时，细菌会侵入并引起感染。但大多数孩子都会玩这个愚蠢的游戏，导致皮肤发红，形成结痂，可能会留下疤痕。 ”
但是这个问题仍然存在：为什么孩子们这样做呢？大概与互联网上隐藏的风险有关！
本来是一种异常行为，但因为互联网上有大量的人做这种行为后，反而成了正常不过。青少年可能在互联网上观看这类的挑战之后，并屈服于同伴压力也去尝试。风险并不在于青少年在从事这项活动时想的是什么，而是这些挑战的潜在影响，使他们成为“病毒视频”的明星或同学间的传奇。

Why Your Kids Should Stop Doing the 'EraserChallenge'
The "eraser challenge" might sound like a funschoolyard game involving a run-of-the-mill classroom supply, but its damageisn't necessarily something that's easily wiped away.
The eraser challenge – which has been around for severalyears – involves a competition of sorts. Kids and teenswill perform a task like reciting the alphabet repeatedly while rubbing erasershard and fast on their skin. The game continues until the last child toleratingthe friction is declared the winner. But such challenges bring more than justbragging rights. This particular eyebrow-raising stunt has sent kids to thehospital with infections.
Dr. Yolanda Reid Chassiakos, a clinical assistantprofessor of pediatrics at the University of California–LosAngeles' David Geffen School of Medicine, tells U.S. News that the eraser is anabrasive agent. When it rubs against and scratches the skin, it causes a woundthat can get infected – and possibly become serious.The pain associated with the challenge could outlast the duration of thecontest, despite an initial adrenaline rush blocking some of it, saysChassiakos, who also directs the Klotz Student Health Center at CaliforniaState University–Northridge.
Today.com pointed out a Facebook post and accompanyingphoto highlighting a possible consequence of the challenge.
"Kids don't know this, but your skin isn't sterile,it's crawling and teeming with bacteria and when you open up your skin, thatbacteria can crawl in and cause an infection," Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, aSeattle pediatrician and Seattle Mama Doc blog author, told Today.
"Most kids are going to play this stupid game andhave redness in their skin, create a scab and they might be left with ascar," she continued. "Most kids will do fine because our immunesystems are just profound."
But this still begs the question: Why are kids doing thisin the first place? Look no further than the internet and its associated risks.
"... Behaviors that might have been outliers in thepast, because there are large numbers of people on the internet who engage insuch behaviors, they're seen as being more typical or more normal, normativebehaviors," Chassiakos says.
Teens could spot something on the internet, or bechallenged directly after viewing a trending game online (as with the eraserchallenge) and succumb to peer pressure – even the virtual kind.
Chassiakos adds that the risk isn't in what teens arethinking about when engaging in this activity. It's more about the potentialfor these challenges to make them the star of a viral video or a legend amongclassmates.
She suggests families visit the American Academy ofPediatrics' Family Media Plan, which can foster conversation between parentsand teens. The page includes advice on the consequences of online bullying, aswell as tips on helping teens balance online and offline time.
