Is Your Child Involved In Inhalant Sniffing?
I want to talk about something serious today, some parents are
not even aware of. Inhalant sniffing to get high or feel good is
done by a number of children.
Do you know that one in three children, according to some
studies, experiment with inhalants? They may start as early as
eight or so.
Inhalant users may come from any background. Rich or poor, any
color, An A average student or a student failing in their
grades. Many have some things in common - they are abused at
home, or unhappy in their lives, or they are susceptible to peer
pressure.
The sad thing is that inhalants could KILL your child the first
time the product is sniffed from heart failure or suffocation.
It can damage the lungs permenantly. It is possible that there
will be children that they hang around with, or meet at school,
that will be introducing your children to new ways to "feel
good" which may include inhalants.
Please have a talk with your children today. Many have no idea
that sniffing things such as markers or computer duster from the
can is a type of drug abuse and very risky. Go on the internet
and get your self-educated so you know what to look for and what
to warn against. It could save your Childs life.
