Teens would do anything to fit in like some weed and drink
alcohol. Since they are illegal they
turn to things like household items.
People may think that abusing household items aren’t bad for you because
they aren’t illegal. Little do they know
that it is just as bad. Using household
items are just like doing drugs and drinking alcohol because it has the same
effects on you.
First off, abusing
household items can cause you to get many health problems. Some health problems you may get are:
lightheaded, dizziness, slurred speech, euphoria, and hallucinations. In an article is stated that with continued
use of household items you may lose consciousness or even death. It also said that if you do not die from
abusing household items you can become brain damaged or have kidney failures.
In
addition, not only can it cause you health problems, but it’s also really easy
to get. Also, since the 1890’s the abuse of household items has increased
steadily. The reason for that is because
it is cheap easy to get and it’s legal.
To do this all you have to do is look in your closets at home and it
will be right there. Also, since this is
legal to do teens aren’t afraid of getting caught. The people that do this the most are teens
from 12-17 since it is easily accessible at home. The household items they abuse are: cough
syrup, hand sanitizer, nutmeg, spray paint, gasoline, household cleaners and
many more.
Although
this is starting to be a problem, not many people know about it and think its
no big deal. One reason for that is
because since it is legal they don’t think that it is bad and that it won’t do
any harm to you. For instance, people
think that abusing household items are better then doing meth and alcohol. But like I said earlier they have the same effect
on your body. Lastly, people think its
not a problem because they would never suspect their child abusing household
items.
In
conclusion, as you can see kids would do anything just to fit in. They do dumb things like smoke weed drink
alcohol and abuse household items not knowing the effects that it has on your
body. They think that everything will be
fine and nothing will happen to their bodies.
But little by little their body is breaking and at any moment they can
die. Don’t be dumb and waste your life
on drugs and alcohol.
