14-Year-Old Catches Fire While Trying to Remove Nail Polish 

right

What is wrong with that? Iam from Kerala ❤️

@@Aswin76541there is so much wrong with that😭😭

@@Venn_9236 It's her mistake..

@@Venn_9236 Iam from kerala ❤️

I caught that also like damn why the bed???😫it could've caught the covers and sheets ablaze.

mu first thought

Parents need to teach.

​@@chancemathews7057That's what science class is for

Who tf puts a candle right on there bed she couldn’t put it on a night stand or something? a table ?

and never put it next to something super flammable lol. Literally why candles and anything flammable has warnings. Sounds like shes too young to even have either lol

I think she might be a little bit slow if you know what I mean. ❤️

I'm sure she continued 😅

I felt so bad for the girl being interviewed when the reporter asked that.

🤣

@@evanwilliams9588 Why? It is fire safety 101. I remember being taught that at 4 years old.

@@B_27 because it’s fire safety 101 and the girl had been told that since she was 4 years old.

5 year old me would have never thought it.

I wonder why she is even using candles in the first place, it's not like there's a power outage?

@@xlintxpeople use candles lol

​@@xlintx you've never heard of scented candles lmao

@@fortunamajor7239 Sorry, because I've never had someone who had their bedroom smelling terribly.

Nail polish 💅🏼 in liquid form is also flammable. You can literally use it as a fuse.

It’s my big cousin/sister and she is doing really well we went out last weekend and she is so so good

@@emilyedgington2430 that’s so awesome

Yep. Remember those dumb kids who did the "fire challenge" years ago with nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol?

​@@emilyedgington2430 That's good! Make sure she doesn't leave candles lit overnight, and doesn't leave them near flammable things anymore.

Oh really now? Using hand sanitizer on a birthday cake and catches on fire? I will keep that in mind. Didn't know it could happen.

@@sonicgalaxy27 I think she had sanitized her hands just before she lit the candles because she wanted to be sanitary when serving the cake. So scary!!

i once got hand sanitizer but no burning ofc but it did burn my eyes cause IT STINGS i try get it AND IT SQUASTES TO MY EYE ;-;

That’ll get you real clean!

now my eye is clean

Or at all.

Or how about not putting a lit candle on your bed? My dad is right. This generation lacks common sense; sometimes

Never use nail polish remover in a non ventilated room...

Or hair spray or Mylar balloons or silly string

Or hair spray.

This sounds harsh but this is an entire common sense situation. I understand there's a lot of things we may consider common sense that actually arent, we just got lucky with good guardians but... CANDLE ON A BED???

@@boopbooperson1654 exactly, I just wanna know what made her think it was ok to put a candle on her bed, and not just that but nail remover beside it, like what??

​@@Cloudy__gaming I really hate to say it but I don't feel bad for her... it sucks that she'll have permanent scarring but at least she'll remember now. Every time she looks at it she'll remember fire safety. I can't believe she didn't think to stop drop and roll... and a candle on a bed??

I grew up using candles for light since I was a small child. It's all how you raised your children and how you teach your children. I also learned how to light fires in our fireplace and take care of an oil lamp. My parents never told me not to touch the hot stove but taught me how to check if I could touch the stove. I learned about fire,fire safety, how flammable different things where and what to do if there was a fire and how to smother a fire. I also learned the different ways fires could start. I know someone who's just finished drying towels Burst into flames in their basket.

Exactly this

This is more a case of a freak accident, not a case of a kid not having “common sense.”

It's "common" only after it's learned

There endless possible dangers in life that you wouldn’t even think to tell your kids. Like who thinks to tell their child “don’t have a candle on your bed while doing your nails.” Like who thinks of this! Accidents happen. I was not allowed candles in my room so that is a good pace to start but teens don’t always listen unfortunately

​@@JanieGal16Well, I'm afraid I have to disagree cause you should not have a lit candle on your bed, which can be set on fire if the candle falls.

Sometimes mistakes just happen 🤷 when I was a little kid (pre-teen and maybe 7 or so), my mother explicitly told me not to touch the lightbulb of my lamp because it was very hot and could burn me. And as only an inexperienced dumb kid can do, of course, one chilly night I decided to get my hands close anyway... And ended up touching it when I was startled by a noise shortly after! One hell of a burn blister. Despite knowing it was hot and not to touch it, the danger of putting my hands *near* the thing I shouldn't touch still didn't fully set in, and it was not as though my mother could monitor me 24/7. In my dumb kid head, I thought I had a safe distance, though the reality was different... Well, my lesson was certainly learned! Kids learn by experience more often than not, and though they may know in theory that something is bad or dangerous, it's not always something they think about in the moment. Common sense isn't innate but learned, and when we're young is usually when we make our most foolish mistakes... Some more than others! They might know nail polish remover is flammable and shouldn't be near open flames, but they don't really grasp the full scope of that danger, or what "being near" really means. Especially past a certain age (definitely as a teenager), kids get more independence and aren't likely to be under constant supervision, too. It's just something that happens when growing up, and while parents absolutely have a responsibility to teach their children and mitigate the possibility of an accident, it's simply impossible to intentionally avoid altogether forever. There's a factor of luck and chance in life that exists regardless of a parent's will. In this case, there definitely should have been a house rule about not lighting candles unsupervised, or at least a clear discussion about keeping it in a clear space on a stable surface... But we also don't have every fact, and it could very well be that this girl knew not to do it, but - without thinking deeply about the real potential consequences - decided that it'd be alright this once. I don't disagree with you entirely! But life is all about living and learning. Maybe their parents did fail in some way, or maybe this was just a bad stroke of chance and luck, but even the most attentive parent can't prevent the possibility of every problem. *Minor edit for a missed word!

I’ve never taught my kids not to put lit candles on the bed. I guess they just weren’t bright enough to think of doing it yet🧐.

​@@bamflrShe's 14, a teenager. A person her age should've already know better not to put a lit candle near anything flammable, let alone on her bed. It's not a mistake, she just unknowingly looking for a trouble.

@@michelejackson7934 Some of us just have to learn the hard way, and that's why you've got trends like "lay down in the middle of the road" that persist until enough kids or their friends get run over for them to realize maybe it's not such a hot idea. 😭

@@bamflr It’s true. I probably should feel bad about myself that I don’t feel sorry for these types, but I don’t.

i knoww i mean i’m so glad she’s okay but why did she do that 😅

It sure is!!!

@@dravidianalchemist its possible her parents never went over fire safety with her. it sounds crazy but its common behavior for a lot of neglectful parents

@@Misa-Aname yeah that’s true

Okay but I’m not letting my sister get hate comments

Good for you girl! Who’s reading the label of nail polish remover?? NO ONE @@emilyedgington2430

The girl said she knew it was flammable but didn't think about it.

many of these reporters lack empathy and it's apparent by their line of questioning

That was a great question because she didn't stop drop or roll, she stood and shook 😂

@@woefulmelancholy if she didn't know that you shouldn't have a lit candle on the bed, why would she be expected to know basic fire safety 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@woefulmelancholy Imagine finding out your friend caught on fire or something and your first question is "Did you stop drop and roll?". There were other questions that could've been asked and she went straight to that one 💀

Is poor kid can even say one sentence without liking it

She’s 14 genius

It still says flammable on the bottle, she's 14, bro can read​@@lindseysanford1843

@lindseysanford1843 a 14 year old knows what's flammable and what's not genius

@@lindseysanford184314 not 4. Lest we forget shes less than 4 years away from voting and driving and living on her own. Im guessing you were just like her huh? Bless your heart

​@@lindseysanford1843At 14 I absolutely knew that nail polish remover (acetone and/or ethyl acetate) was flammable. I used to light small amounts of it on fire at that age, as young boys do. By the way, news flash: 14 year olds can read, so she should have seen the big red warning on the bottle.

Did you still eat the pie?

@@drunkenhobo5039LOLLL

@drunkenhobo5039 instead of asking was she ok you ask "did you still eat the pie?" I guess you think that's supposed to be funny but that is a huge lack of empathy💀

we cant waste food jkjk @@Chisthebest0

@@Chisthebest0 He has a point

Thats what im saying

I’d be embarrassed as absolute hell. I wouldn’t want anyone to know I’m that air headed lol even at 14 come on! There’s girls that have babies at that age and she’s setting herself on fire in the most preventable way. My mother would have killed me if I did something so stupid and careless lol

I feel bad for her but...was she never taught anything??

@@xobelladonna2443 nobody has kids at that age 😂 it was stupid mistake why u gotta be so serious she learnt her lesson and hope she has a speedy recovery.

Nope. Not a fear. Just stupid

just dont put lit candles on your bed next to bottles of flammable liquid

Nawl just don't do stupid stuff Candles on the bed....what the hell?????

Avoid candles to be on the safe side

Just keep a candle on a table or on top of your dresser away from flammable stuff

She had it coming

She's very intelligent 🧠 with good ideas 💡 Some people children!!

@@bryanthernandez9769 yah cause even i wouldn’t put a candle on my bed cause the comforter can catch on fire with one wrong tuck

I was thinking the same thing about the candle being on her bed.... Sounds & seems like if it hadn't been the Nail polish remover that caught on fire, it would have been the bedding/blankets🙄🤦‍♀️

teenagers make mistakes.

It's probably a very common misconception that "flammable liquid" just means it'll explode if the liquid itself touches fire, like pouring gasoline on a flame. Most people don't realize that the vapors can be the problem, not just the liquid itself

on the bed too

This really isnt common knowledge. Both of them didn't realize the vapor would catch fire too.

​@nate6045 still, she knew the liquid is flammable

@@nate6045for real now it’s common to be on your phone all day

@@ImLVLegitcusImthasht but it wasn't the liquid that caught fire. It was the vapor.

parents forget to teach kids fire safety and unfortunately it results in terrible consequences like these

Yes she did. I’m like why is there a candle on her bed for.

Yes, she's very intelligent!! With a very good education!! Candle 🕯️+ bed 🛏️ = Fire 🔥 in the house 🏠 Very good 💡

@@karljokkerlukkas_974 , the Gen Z generation!😁

​​@@karljokkerlukkas_974as a Gen Z myself, this is correct. Most of us have no common sense, like putting a lit flame over a soft surface like a bed.

@@saulgoodman4597 at least you recognise it. My daughter and nephew's don't! But, there's always an exception to the rule!! Keep cultivating yourself. And always listen to 4 or 5 opinions on the same subject. At least!! From Lisboa Portugal,EU. Good to hear from you.

Do you know that alcohol is flammable?

​@@MeneTekelUpharsin omg i did not know EITHER were flammable im actually shocked as a smoke insidr and have 'balanced' candle on bed; im 23 and live alone too. Why do we not learn safety at school 🫣😭😭 im a straight A ex fosterkid with no parents and no common sense ; ive had sso micb alcohol about

My older sister did the same exact thing to my mothers end table in the living room. My dad was furious.

I mean, obviously she’s not smart at all…lighting a freaking candle on her bed!

Um? No one complains at chemistry. Children complain at math.

I think she meant skin grows back, she’s glad it’s not her life that she lost

no they dont, boiling water spilled on my entire chest and i got second degree burns, she already healed, stop swearing in a youtube comment it doesnt make you the cool person

These weren't small, one arm needed skin grafts...

​@@AdamThygerson-lm1gt~1st of all, I'm sorry to hear that you were burned so badly. I hope you're all healed up. 2nd of all, I'm not sure WHERE you THINK I swore in my comment. Bc HELL most certainly IS NOT A SWEAR WORD! Once you reach adulthood, you'll understand & comprehend what is considered a SWEAR WORD is in comparison to what CHILDREN consider to be a SWEAR WORD.

@@annalisegiovanni7032 google says it is, i dont care if you think in isnt but when that word id not used in the place that is opposite of heaven it is considered swearing by most people

@AccidentallyOnPurpose ~I didn't say that HER BURNS WERE SMALL! I was saying that EVEN the SMALLEST burns hurt extremely badly. Hence WHYYY I said "SO I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW HORRIFIC THIS WAS!!" So0o0o, you should reallyyyy be sure that you actually KNOW what ur talking about BEFORE you ATTEMPT to fix your mouth to try to correct anybody else!

Most people would think twice before putting a scented candle on a surface like a BED! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@xobelladonna2443 not if their parents never taught them

She’s not superficial . I guess she was trying to express there’s more important things than skin or your appearance 😊

She's ungrateful, people need skin

@@ImLVLegitcusImthasht huh?

@ImLVLegitcuslmthasht your so random💀

@@ms.c3 Sometimes you shouldn't use it

I meant featured girl on this story; same with the other little girl from OK.

It was the fumes from the remover that caused the fire. The candle could have been across the room and it still would have exploded.

@@smpeace2683 they said the candle was on the bed

I’m gonna pretend you didn’t just say that. The stupidity is doing my head in 😮

😂😂😂

Oh sweetie that's scary hope you're OK now

blaming a child because their parents couldnt be bothered to teach them fire safety is crazy. imagine hating on a child with 3rd degree burns

@@Misa-Aname also, why was I so much more capable of keeping my butane and other explosives away from fire when I was never needed to be told?

@@Misa-Aname oh wait your name is misa, I bet you want to be like her 😂 ( yes I was a teenager once I watched anime ) but it says a lot that that’s your name almost like it’s a character worth respect 😂

@@blak3brutus229 because you knew what would happen if you didnt. someone who had no idea on fire safety wouldn't have access to such information

And she doesn’t say “like” every other word

probably cause she’s a child and has no life experience to know these things or THINK about them, that’s why parents need to teach their kids more

​​​​@@bradentheman1373ok, but the lit candle on the bed I mean come on. I get she's young but you should atleast know that putting a candle on a bed could be dangerous cause it could fall over on accident and set the bed on fire and things would have been much worse, so thank God that didn't happen. Even my 5-year-old brother knows not to have any flame near any furniture or anything. Plus she could have just gone to the bathroom and removed her nail polish there

She’s giving my autistic vibes

Right.

Or a lapse in judgement by a kid 🙄
