My husband and I were having discussion about my blog yesterday and he suggested me to write something useful through my blog.Initially I did not accept this idea( that's they way I am, first argue and protest everything) but after a while I gave it a good thought and it was really a constructive idea to spread the knowledge across people.So here I am giving it a shot.
I was watching the news on Fox yesterday and this one particular thing caught my attention a lot. The FB NOZZ parties. The nozz parties are the ones who use nitrous oxide as well in the party for fun added to alcohol and drugs.The surprising fact is that all these parties are teen parties and they are targeting the teens.Ya, that's a very vulnerable age and all you want to do is to have fun by any means. Well after the news, I did a little research on the effects of nitrous oxide.Of course nitrous oxide is used as a sedative by the medical professionals but they have a limit on the usage and also it is monitored.
Teens use this gas as an inhalant through a device as whippets. Whippets are nothing but cylinder like device which are used to make whip cream at home.Consequences of this abuse can be very severe and dangerous. Short-term effects of inhalant use include heart palpitations, difficulty breathing, dizziness, headaches and sometimes death.
Long-term effects may include depression and permanent damage to the brain, nerves, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. Users of inhalants are known to suffer convulsions and seizures, suffocation, choking, coma and fatal injuries from accidents while high.

So I request all the parents to be aware of the social networking problems. Please have an eye on your child's profile and monitor till they reach the maturity of understanding the difference between a good and a bad choice. They are our responsibility. It does not mean that you should question each and every decision and also it does not mean that you do not trust them.It's just you are warning them of the tough road ahead.
Also, we as parents should be on the lookout for signs of inhalant abuse.These are few of them:
-chemical odors on breath or clothing;
-paint or other stains on face, hands or clothes;
-hidden empty spray paint or solvent containers and chemical-soaked rags or clothing;
-drunk or disoriented appearance;
-slurred speech;
-nausea or loss of appetite;
-inattentiveness, lack of coordination, irritability, and depression; and
-missing household items.
I was very disturbed by that news and it is just one life which is very precious.This is my simple way to stop the exploitation of the children.
