A challenge is a challenge in the true sense of the word when the outcome is a positive, maybe even a beneficial one. But, today, the word seems to have taken on a ridiculous connotation. The youth today, constantly bombarded by information, have a very low boredom threshold, which is when absurd challenges take on humongous, even dangerous proportions.

Among the latest ones is the Kiki Challenge, which requires one to be filmed dancing next to a moving vehicle, born out of Canadian singer Drake's video of his song 'In My Feelings'. Youngsters across the world have been posting pictures and video clips on social media, inciting others to take on the challenge. There have been several reports from around the world of youngsters suffering serious injuries in the challenge.
