Selfie deaths

Published March 15, 2016

SELFIE is a self-portrait photograph which is very popular with the young generation. Many a youth today would stop at nothing to take a selfie. Some people go to bizarre limits for the sake of a selfie, putting their lives in danger. Hundreds of people have died all over the world for the sake of a selfie, and this lunacy is increasing.

Society needs to address this problem.
