They said that .. my eyes rolled back, i feell to the ground and shoook madly and woke up after about 5-6 seconds. They said, that i have had the worst reaction out of everybody. I couldnt believe it, the shock and everything. The world didnt feel the same.Now i feel just light headed but know everything and everyone and am my normal self. Im just full of shock. Am i safe?

 You hyperventilated yourself. And I'm with your mom, that is a very stupid thing to intentionally do to yourself. Knock it off before you cause some damage. It's called the "Fainting Game" here in the states by the way. Listen to your mom, it's really stupid.

 Well, doing the "challenge" wouldn't have caused it. You're friends are telling the truth about the fit aren't they? You couldn't have just got breathless and passed out.
It's true that epilepsy can cause fitting, but so can another condition called vasovagal syncope which is less serious, and drug abuse can also lead to fitting.
I'd get a doctor's appointment. Let me know how you get on =]
