Inhalant Sniffing

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.
