The Latest Instagram Trend Is Actually Really Dangerous

From Seventeen

There are a lot of ridiculous things we do for the 'gram, like standing on a chair in the middle of a restaurant to get a bird's-eye photo of a dinner plate.

But the latest trend is straight-up dangerous - even as it rakes in tons of likes. The hot new thing absolutely no one should be doing? Placing burning candles precariously on beds and couches.

Let me make myself clear: People are balancing jars of fire on cushy flammable surfaces.

The effect is super dreamy - until it's not. Guys, for the sake of your possessions and your LIFE, please stop doing this before your photo composition becomes an inferno.

For your next 'gram, maybe snap a selfie as you read these candle safety tips.
