Have you ever been DARED to do something?
Have you ever DARED someone else?

  1. I've been dared to do many things. My friends and I always dare each other to do stupid things and sometimes we've gotten in trouble or hurt. Once, I was dared to eat a spider and me being the competitive person am I did it and nearly threw up. I don't usually dare my friends to do things unless they dare me first. Dares aren't always fun because if you dare someone to do something stupid they might get hurt. For example, once my sister dared me to chug a bottle of hot sauce and I spilled it in my eye. Dares aren't always fun and can be dangerous.

  2. Yes I have been dared before. When I'm with friends and we're bored sometimes we play truth or dare. I have been dared to for example to jump into the pool with my clothes on. I have never been dared to do something super crazy or dangerous thankfully.Yes I have dared someone else before but like I said before, nothing extreme. No I don't think dares are always fun because sometimes people take things too far and it could become dangerous or they could get hurt.

  3. I don't think I've ever been dared before or at least not that I know of. Me and my friends aren't in to that thing, because we think it's kind of stupid. The only time I think I ever dared someone was when me and my family were eating dinner and I dared my cousin to chug the entire water bottle that was sitting right in front of him. I would have to say that dares aren't always fun. For instance, they can be extremely dangerous, which can sometimes lead to death like the Tide Pod challenge. I mean It's still okay to do dares with your friends and family but you just got to be careful about what you dare someone to do.

  4. I totally agree! We should be more careful.

  5. Yes, I have been dared before. I used to play truth or dare all the time with my friends in elementary school. I haven't been dared to do anything in a while, though. I find them pretty stupid, especially when it's something like the tide pod challenge. Dares can sometimes be fun if you are being safe and if no one is getting hurt.

  6. Yes I have been dared many times by my friends and family. I have also dared many of my friends to do something funny or dumb. In my opinion, dares aren’t always necessary fun because if it’s something that’s out of your comfort zone, then you could feel a little nervous. Also, some dares could get a little dangerous. For instance, the cinnamon challenge. There were many results of people getting burns in their mouth, respiratory distress and/or vomiting which in my opinion, isn’t really fun.

  7. I have been dared many times to do many things. Sometimes me and my friends will randomly just start a truth or dare game. We usually get dared to do some weird things, but they are sometimes funny. i have dared many people but sometimes I dare or get dared to do stupid things. Dares are not always fun because they might sometimes be inappropriate or hurtful towards others and just not nice.

  8. Yes my friends have dared me before but I usually don't do them. I also dare my friends to do something that will turn out to be funny. Dares can be fun sometimes but I don't like them. They could be dangerous sometimes you should not be forced to do what you have been dared. For example the tide pod challenge I fine is stupid and useless why would like to take a risk like that just for a silly dare. Some people got really sick and almost died and some did die, just for a challenge.

  9. Yes my frieds have dared me to do a lot of things, I do them but not the ones that can get me into bad trouble or hurt someones feelings. Yes i have dared my friends things as well but most of the time they turn out to be funny and they don't get me or the person that im daring to get in trouble. As i said before dares can be fun if you use your brain before you tell the person to do something, most of the time the dares that i give my friends and they give me turn out to be funny all the time. I don't know much about the Tide Pode challenge but i'm pretty sure that it didn't turn out so good when they put something toxic in there mouth and than may die or go to the hostpital for getting intoxicated. In my personal life there would be no chane tat I would but something toxic in my mouth just because my friends tell me to or just for the fun of it, I wouldn't risk my life for some dumb challenge that cn kill you.

  10. Have you ever been DARED to do something?
    Have you ever DARED someone else?

    Are DARES always FUN?
    E.g. How did the Tide Pod challenge work out for some people?
    I've been dared to do a lot of things, I usually do them unless there's a really high chance that I'll get in trouble or hurt someone's feelings. I've dared others in the past and still do, and I always try to keep my dares easy and fun. Dares are almost always fun for the person doing the daring, but for the person on the other end, not so much. And usually it's the more fun for the person giving the dare, the less the other person being dared has. I really like dares, I think there a fun way to momentarily get out of your comfort zone and do something you wouldn't usually do. But I think some people go to far with them. For example the tide pod challenge or the feint challenge, (if you don't know that was all about trying to choke yourself into fainting) if you're gonna do a dare that's great but don't do something that could actually hurt you or anyone else, I mean if you want to say bloody Mary in the mirror then go ahead but eating a tide pod, really, and for what, so you can say, well you know guys I might be in the hospital with a permanently damaged stomach but at least I ate that tide pod and didn't look like a chicken in front of my friends. If you want to do a dare, go do it but never go as far as to eat a tide pod or try to strangle yourself, it's dangerous and stupid.

  11. I've been dared to do things from eating soap all the way to cliff jumping 70ft into water. Dares are the one thing that are truly unpredictable because anyone can ask you to do anything, but if you don't do it you will look like a chicken in front of all your friends which will make you lose your entire reputation as a person. I have dared people to do ridiculous things like jumping off their roofs (all of them were jumping onto a trampoline). All dares that I dare or my friends dare are almost all of the time pretty safe and dares shouldn’t be taken too far.

  12. In my teenage life, I have been dared to do many things, some bad and most good. I have been dared to do things that I did not want to do, but then there are dares in which i have done that went bad. For example, like to ring a doorbell and run away, play truth or dare, the dare being something not bad but not good at the same time, jumping in a cold pool, jumping in the snow with a bathing suit ect. I have dared many different people to do different things, mostly my close friends. For example, ring a doorbell, jump a fence, i don't know what else, but most of the dares were good, so it would not hurt anyone maybe only disturb them sometimes. No dares are not always fun, for example when people ate Tide Pods, they wouldn't realize that it killed them. Also some dares won't be fun because of peer pressure, forced to do them, and also dares that can result in either major injuries or consequences or even sometimes death.

  13. Yes ive been dared many times, and it usually when playing truth or dare with my friends or cousins. I dont remember many things ive been dared to do but one was the ice bucket challenge and being dared to go up to people and say pretty dumb stuff. Ive also dared my friends to do stuff but nothing to extreme that I remember and they were mostly all for jokes. In my opnion dares arent always fun, people may make it seem like a certain dare is super cool and all, but when they end up in the hostpital it isnt really, for example the tide pod challenge. Dares can always be fun if you dont talk them too far.

  14. Yes I have been dared before, but it was only silly stuff with my friends or cousins, where we would make up random dares like go sing to that person, or random things like that. I have dared someone before, but of course I would never dare anyone to do something dangerous, or that can get someone else or me in trouble. Dares aren't always fun and games, I mean the TidePod challenge had people in hospitals because people were dared to eat it, which is terrible. Not all dares are fun, because they can get seriously extreme and dangerous.

  15. Yes I have been dared to do multiple things but it was always just funny and silly things with my friends. Once I got dared to do something embarrassing to a stranger and I did it because it was funny and a lot of fun. I've dared my friends to do a lot of funny things like once I dared my friend to kiss this guy on the cheek and she did it for fun. But dares are fun until you take it to the limit like the Tide Pod challenge went too far. Its literally committing suicide.

  16. I think everyone has played truth or dare before so yes, I have been dared and I have dared someone before. I think dares are fun but they can have consequences, people can get hurt which may not be as fun. Daring people is very fun but can have consequences if people are not responsible or are stupid, this is the case for many unfortunate incidantss when two people are daring each other.

  17. Truth and dare is one of my favourite games when my friends and I are bored. I love doing dares and also giving them to other people. Although I only do the dare that don’t have severe consequences . The dares that I have done are dares like drinking a bottle full of water [ which I almost choked on ]. Some dares that I have given to my friends are prank calling Mc.Donald’s or going up to random people and having weird conversations with them.

    Although I don't think that dares are always fun because they can sometimes be dangerous or they might hurt other people’s feelings. For example, the tide pod challenge. That dare got many people sick and some even died.I even once read a fictional novel where a teenager was dared to jump of a second floor building. The kid did that dare because everyone else was doing it and he didn’t want other people to think that he was a coward . Although that dare got him killed. Sometimes dares can be fun but, you shouldn’t give or do dangerous dares because it may result in bad situations .

  18. I have been dared to do little things by my friends before, such as going up to someone and yelling “I smell like chicken nuggets!”, but our dares have never been anything bigger. And the same goes opposite ways. I’ve never really dared anyone anything more than silly little things, I think that this is how it should always be. Dares go to far when it is possible that someone gets hurt, could even die. That is when dares aren’t fun anymore. Especially when police officers or the authorities get involved. In conclusion, I think that dares are fun and silly, until they are unsafe, then it needs to stop.

  19. I love dares! Most of the time when people dare you to do something it’s because your playing truth or dare. As a young kid, I remember going to sleepovers with my friends playing truth or dare. We each dare each crazy things and it was so much fun. When I play truth or dare, I find that it’s also a great experience for me to get to know my friends.

  20. I've played truth or dare all the time. I've been dared to do something and I've dared other people to do stuff. Dares aren't always fun because sometimes it can be something that you don't want to do. The Tide Pod challenge is an example. You dared someone to eat a Tide Pod. It wasn't the smartest dare ever, but people still did it and got hospitalized.

  21. I've been dared and dared a lot of people to do many things . Most of the time , things are all just fun and games . Most of these dares include doing just idiotic things . But when someone dared someone else to eat a tide pod , that's just when things enter the stupid zone . Eating tide pods are dangerous .

  22. So as all friends do, my friends and I have played truth or dare. Obviously every niow and then a really stupid idea pops up in someones head and they pop the question, truth or dare? One time my friend dared my friend back in elementary to eata woodchip. I know really stupid, but he did it. I have no info on what happened to him but from my understanding, since he was at school the next day, it must’ve passed through normally. I’ve had my fair share of weird dares, One time I was dared to climb a fence blindfolded, i did not make it that far off the ground, obviously, but it was still pretty funny. Oh and I fell off the fence but i was like three feet off the ground. Personally i think people try to take things too far way to often and that's when the game isn’t any fun anymore, that’s when things can get dangerous. People should think things through more often to ensure the safety of others when it comes to this sort of thing.

  23. I've done dares and have dared other people to do many stupid things.Most of them coming from truth or dare.The dumbest dare I have done would be to eat an entire piece of paper, It was bad and I'm pretty sure I got sick after that. I've dared other people as well a lot of them pretty dumb and embarrassing.Sometimes dares aren't always fun and end up with people getting hurt.An example of those types of dares would be eating tide pods and washing it down with some bleach.It's really dangerous and can kill you.

  24. Yes, I have been dared to do many things, either by one of my friends or by one of my family members. I remember once I was in public and my sister dared me to cross one of my eyes at a random stranger because she thought it was very entertaining.

    I’ve also dared my friends and my sister to do things, most likely because I found it funny.

    Dares aren’t always fun, especially if they are mean dares just to make someone get into trouble or if they dares that can actually be dangerous.

  25. Me and my friends enjoy daring each other to do stupid things. I, typically, do not do them as often they do and I usually dare them instead of them daring me. My friends and I have done many funny dares but I do agree sometimes dares can be taken too far. Once, I was dared to eat a drink that consisted of milk, blueberries and mustard. (Really Gross). Sometimes when a person does a dare they do something hurtful to someone. I haven’t done anything hurtful to someone but I do know it’s possible that people have done that. I make sure when I complete a dare or give out a dare it won’t make a person feel bad or get me into a lot of trouble. Sometimes dares could be really stupid and cause physical harm to people. That right there is just not that fun.

  27. Personally I’m a very daring person. I find dares super fun unless they’re too out of hand. Sometimes they can cause harm or serious injuries so it’s important to be safe and cautious. Other than that I really enjoy dares. I grew up with a brother so I’ve basically done dares all my life. We both like making challenges or competions to see who can win and we still do. Once we dared each other to ride down the stairs with a mattress. It was one of those mattresses who fold so it wasn’t safe and didn’t have anything to hold onto. After a lot of convincing my brother made me go first. As I was going down it went too fast for me to be able to hold my grip so I fell and got a bump on my head. Dares can be really fun but can sometimes be taken too far so it's important to be safe.

  28. In elementary a game we played was truth or dare. Everyone always chose truth because they were too scared to say dare. But once in a while someone would be brave and say dare. Whenever i chose dare i would usually get something like “scream really loud” or “run around the tree 100 times” it was never anything very interesting. Once I dared someone to climb a tree and jump off, it was really dangerous and i think they scraped their knee but they we're still okay. Dares aren't always very fun or very safe. They can be harmful and dangerous depending on what it was. You shouldn't accept dares if they can harm you because it's better to be safe than sorry.

    1. I used to play truth or dare too! I agree that dares aren't always safe and that they can be harmful too. I also agree that you shouldn't do the dares if they can harm you.

  29. I love doing dare and I usually get dared to do something new every single day. Me and my friends usually play truth or dare every day so I get my fair share of dares but, I also give out a good amount of them too. Dares aren't all necessarily fun but, I would say 9/10 I usually have a good time doing a friends dare.To me, it would depend on the dare and the people you are doing it with.

  30. I don't remember specifically what dares I've been asked to do, all I remember is playing truth or dare on the school bus. So yes I guess I have been dared before. Again playing truth or dare, I'm sure I have dared someone I just dont remember what I dared them to. I personally don't like dares but I am a rule follower so that could have something to do with it. I hate the idea of breaking rules and getting in trouble. Some dares though can be gross or dangerous so I wouldn't like to do those either. To me it would have to depend on the type of dare for me to like it.
