Sorry Everyone

I think you should let her mother know as soon as possible. Inhaling that kind of stuff can turn deadly in the blink of an eye. It will be tough to do, but you are only protecting your cousin and her life. This is just my opinion and what I would do in this kind of situation.

this is crazy who does that?

You should tell her mom. She is putting her life in danger without realizing it.

i will

Tasha, just my opinion as a mom, but you absolutely have to tell her mother. She is endangering her life, and as a mother, I know I would have a very hard time knowing that a close relative knew this was going on and didn't say anything...just because the child asked them not to tell. The child will be angry with you for a while, but they will get over it - you are saving her life.

im calling her mom now..... she left for schooll

Sniffing is a very cheap way to get high. But most of what kids might sniff is very dangerous for them. And the rest is really REALLY dangerous. Definitely get her parents involved. Think of it this way:

If is was your daughter and someone caught her doing it, would you want to know?

Definately tell her mom. If she gets mad at you--I'd rather someone be mad at me and be alive, than not be mad at me and be dead. She'll thank you later.

If you go to your local library you can find articles, books, information about this kind of drug abuse. Share the info with her. Obviously she hasn't seen the long term effects of this. I guess I was lucky, in that my school district MADE us watch the videos...They are very graphic and shocking. Sometimes it takes being scared to get it into your head.

Make her feel comfortable in your company. Explain your cousin that her mother should be aware of this fact because the alcohol is certainly damaging her health, and her mother will treat her in the best way. She needs a good friend; make her feel that you are always next to her.

i told her mom her she was like tripping out but not like i expected her to.the only thing she said was that she was getting rid of the alocohol and she will talk to her.... weird........ totally weird

I'm a Substance Abuse Counselor, and I can tell you this is one of the most dangerous highs. Huffing, as some call it, destroys more brain cells, and faster than almost any other drug. She can get rid of the alcohol, but huffers will huff anything, from paint,fabric cleaner,hairspray,etc. She needs some type of treatment now, while she is young and they have caught it. Good Luck..Karen

Definitely tell her mom! If it were YOUR child, wouldn't YOU want to know?

You forgot to mention "Whipits!!!"

her mom did nothing at all except ask her she lied and said some BS....... i told her mom why would i lie like that thay is so bazzar

dear tasha:you better be sorry now than later.life is only one(1)and you are doing the right thiNG.one day she'll will understand what you did for her.

It's up to her mother to trust that you have her best intentions in mind. It's shame that a parent would not think a little longer and realize what is really happening.

You have NOTHING to gain by lying. This young girl does. Enough said.

You absolutely did the right thing telling her mother. As a mother, I would definately want to know so I could deal with the situation.
