<p>
When children, teens or even adults Dabble with the Dark Side, it is often their reaction to their loss of power in their current life situation. The appeal is for them to be in charge of something. They may show this tendency in their gaming choices, their internet interests, or their choice of friends and the topics they discuss.</p>
<p>I point out how hormonal stimulation of endorphins and adrenalin happens when the risky nature of this dabbling makes them feel alive. It could be an indicator of suicidal ideas. It is in this deep struggle where they are trying to find some sense of personal value or the proof they have none. Don’t let it pass by your attention if you know of someone who is Dabbling with the Dark Side.</p>
