The news article dated online was about 10 January 2011 was about a youth who was seen scaffolding at Temasek Polytechnic just for dare. He was seen climbing up some scaffolding which reaches the ceiling in the school’s Engineering faculty. Apparently, the young man was risking his own safety just for the sake of winning a dare. Despite his friends telling him that he has won and asking him to get down, the young man ignores and continues to climb upwards.
Does he even know that such a rash act could cause him a lifetime misery if something unfortunate were to happen to him? Have he ever thought that if something were to happen to him, who were to take care of his parents? Such a foolish act done by him will not make people think that he is heroic or brave but however, think that he is stubborn and stupid. To him, he might think that one must keep his word and do what is suppose to do if he lose the game. However, I feel that his friends shouldn’t even start by suggesting this kind of dangerous dares in the first place. Not only it would cause injury, but also even life if something unfortunate were to happen.
For the sake of having fun, teenagers do not think of the consequences behind it. Well, a moment of folly could cause a lifetime of regrets. He may need to depend on his family members if he were to fall and which might cause severe injury.
