When you were a kid or teen at school, what was the stupidest "game" that the kids used to play?

For me it was this game when a kid would literally lie down on their side on the floor, and then another kid would kick them repeatedly as hard as they could in the stomach, and whoever could hold out the longest without tapping out won.

Like they would set a timer, then write down the time on a piece of paper, and compare the scores of everyone involved.

This game was stupid as hell because... well, do I even need to say why? Lol.

Besides being stupid it's also dangerous as hell because you could end up severely injuring or even killing someone by kicking them repeatedly in the stomach.

And believe it or not, when the kids were playing this game it was when I was in high school when I was 17 years old in the 11th grade. Meaning those kids were about to be legal adults in a year or two, and they're doing this stupid shit? YIKES!

And it was usually just the boys doing this, though the girls made up a "less dangerous variation" of the game... where the premise was more or less the same but instead of kicking in the stomach they'd repeatedly stomp on their fingers as hard as they could before tapping out.

Also incredibly stupid. Less dangerous compared to the boys' version, but also incredibly stupid.

That sounds more like bullying rather than a game. Any "game" where someone has to suffer for the fun of others is stupid af.

I mean while in general I don't disagree with you, all the participants willingly participated, lol. It wasn't like anyone forced them to. And like more than half the class was doing it. And they were seemingly enjoying it and competing to see who can break "the high score." And they weren't even crying or anything, they were more laughing and cursing.

Even as a kid - I never liked stupid games.

[EzraIsShy76028]

Me neither, lol. Don't get me wrong, as a kid and teen I was hella immature. And still probably am. But I was never really into the stupid games some of the other kids would play. Like farting or burping contests, punching each other really hard on the shoulder enough to leave dark bruises, bloody knuckles, etc. Kind of ironic since in some ways I was even more immature than the other kids.

Eating mud pies

[EzraIsShy76028]

Lol. That is pretty stupid. Not even close to as stupid as the kids in my story though. I heard that some starving people in third world countries even eat mud pies for survival. That the mud pies have zero nutritional value, but it's just good to have something in their stomach so it's not empty.
