It has come to the leadership team's attention that a TikTok challenge, known as the "One Bite Challenge," has been growing in popularity among children and teenagers in various school communities. This challenge encourages participants to take excessively large bites of food, often leading to choking hazards and other serious health risks.
We are bringing this to your attention following the tragic death of an 11-year-old boy at one of the Lebanese schools after attempting this challenge. This heartbreaking incident underscores the real dangers associated with viral internet trends and the urgent need for vigilance.
As a community, we must work together to educate our children about the risks of online challenges and ensure they make safe choices. By maintaining open conversations and providing guidance, we can help create a safer environment for our children to grow and learn.
