Warning to Parents: Is Your Teen Getting High?

Kids are very creative when it comes to finding new ways to get high. We've heard about bath salts and synthetic weed, but there a few more ways kids are getting high most recently.

Eyeballing

Eyeballing is the bizarre game where kids pour vodka though the eye socket:



This method supposedly absorbs faster, but only a small amount of alcohol can enter through the eye socket so this is probably not true. However, eyeballing is the rage, although it can be very dangerous and could potentially cause blindness.

i-Dosing

Kids put on headphones, cover their heads and experience a "digital high". Internet videos show kids in distress, shaking violently, and generally freaking out.



i-Dosing is the craze and is all over the internet. Teenagers use "digital drugs" to change their brains in a way similar to real narcotics.


Tampon Soaking

Most recently, kids discovered still another way to get high...tampon soaking.



Guys also use this method by sticking the tampon...well, you can guess where. This method has been around for a while, but it's becoming more popular because there is no smell of vodka on the breath.

The i-Dosing "high" may be just the power of suggestion, but the fact that kids are trying to get high is the real problem. Tampon soaking and eyeballing can be dangerous depending on how much alcohol they absorb.

Many people take i-Dosing as a joke, but before you discount it, search the internet and read responses from teens who have tried it. In order to instruct and guide, parents must be ever-vigilant and proactive when it comes to teenagers.

Peace
