fire challenge

Jamoneish Merritt, who suffered second-degree burns in the attack, had been arguing with a friend while on a slumber party, according to her cousin.

The teen suffered third-degree burns covering more than 40 percent of his body.

The state of New Jersey has been forced to issue an emergency bulletin reminding teenagers that lighting oneself on fire, while extremely cool and hip, will ultimately end in sadness, severe disfigurement and possibly death.
