Shocking school trend: children play dangerous squid game games!

Höxter, Deutschland - The South Korean streaming hit “Squid Game” caused a sensation because students worldwide replay the series of violence in the series. In an interview with the German Press Agency, serial creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk expressed his dismay about these imitations in schools, where children and adolescents re-enact the brutal children's games that are intended for adults in the school playground. He warns parents of talking to their children about the dangers of the series because they are not intended for a younger audience, and warns of the dangerous fascination that assumes the representation of violence. The Bavarian Teachers' Association reports that the school is now under more pressure than ever to address such incidents, while the second season on December 26th celebrates its premiere at Netflix.

While “Squid Game” serves as a negative example, the Project MC² series offers a positive representation of intelligence and girl power. In this series, four talented teenage girls are integrated into a team of secret agents as math and science experts. The stories encourage children, especially girls to get excited about science and technology and to reduce stereotypes. In an environment that promotes teamwork and friendship, these girls show that it can also be fun in serious learning. This positive perception of intelligent girls could be regarded as a contrast to the problematic imitation of "Squid Game", as reported

The problems arising from “Squid Game” at schools ask the question of the responsibility of parents and educators at a time when media influences are strong. Series creator Hwang turned to adults and asked them to be stricter when it comes to consuming such content. At the same time, interest in positive and educational content such as Project MC² could help to focus on valuable messages. For the viewers of the coming week, it can be hoped that the new episodes of “Squid Game” are considered respectfully and the lessons of the series will be understood instead of imitating them, like Radio Hochstift reported.
