Selfiecide: What does the youth word mean? - all information

There is a new youth word: Selfiecide. We'll tell you what that means and what the phenomenon is.

Selfiecide - that means the youth word

• Youth culture is also characterized by reacting very quickly to developments and mostly creating own youth words for it.
• "Selfiecide" is such a word. The "trend" to take selfies in the most daring situations possible is dangerous. Accidents happen more and more often, some of them fatally.
• Selfiecide is a combination of the words "Selfie" and "Suicide", the English word for suicide. So selfiecide means someone kills themselves when they take a selfie.
• The expression is not entirely correct: the selfie maker does not usually commit suicide intentionally. Rather, he dies trying to make a self-portrait that is as impressive as possible: standing on the edge of a high-rise roof or hanging from a bridge.
• Unfortunately, selfiecide is not that rare. In recent years, more people have been killed in selfie shooting than in shark attacks.
• No selfie is worth jeopardizing health or even life. It also has nothing to do with courage to put yourself in dangerous situations in order to take a blatant selfie - rather with stupidity.
