I dare you

“I dare you to do __ and ___. If you don’t do it you are a coward!” Out of boredoms, people often dare each other to do things that they may feel uncomfortable of doing it because it’s dangerous or embarrassing. Personally, I think daring people is an immature act. Immature people often take daring as fun and amusing, but instead it’s just an excellent way to ruin one’s day. I never quite remember myself being dared and accept to do it. Often times I’m just a bystander who watches a poor victim of a daring game embarrassing himself in front of his friend. I remember once when one of my friends dares me to cross a street when the stop sign is still green. I of course rejected the offer and instead dare him back to do it. To my surprise, this person actually accepted the offer and went across the street. He was almost hit by a bus and if he was like a second ahead of himself, he would be in the sky by now. After he successfully crossed the street, he was happy and dared me to follow him. I rejected the offer despite being called a coward or a chicken. I hated people when they take dare lightly. Some dares may result in a unexpected consequence and ruin one’s life with life and death situation.
