Guys please stop derailing the topic at discussion here, if you disagree with a poster explain why and move on, this childish name calling back and forth won't achieve anything but ruin a good thread that addresses a serious issue.
I know this does happen in Doha as two English kids in my HS died back in the day, this is like early 2000s. Both from butane inhalation, and I know another person who was in seriously bad condition after engaging in such activity but survived. As of today I am not sure how common it is but it is a very serious issue. Teens will always experiment with being rebellious and sometimes these phases of rebellion can produce fatal results. I am not an expert on such issues but I feel the only way to help kids deal with such issues is to teach them the importance of being able to resist peer pressure, I believe it would be more effective than just those sex/drug ed programs.
