Ultimately, she made a stupid and fatal error in judgment. No one held a gun to her head. Presumably she could read and was smart enough to know it was a risk. Something that can go wrong in one take is not anything like parents noticing a change in behavior, health issues and the wrong friends but doing nothing about it. Individual responsibility starts much earlier than reaching the age of majority.
I would certainly want parents to be aware of the dangers of social media so that they would check it out, but it would be even better if they taught their offspring to not take chances with any form of intoxicant.
I used right guard spray in my teen years and half the time it made you cough applying it properly, never ever thought to delibertely inhale anything from the can.
I made models, too. But I wasn’t so stupid as to attempt to get high from it or any other chemical.
I haven’t seen this meme in years. Wonder what happened to the guy.

Oh, my, yes, we can’t give up those fancy vacations to have mommy stay home and take care of her own babies. Pack them off to daycare and pay strangers to teach them morals and manners.
Changing tagline
Like gun laws and no guns signs we just need to put a warning on spay cans. That will fix the problem right?
A ‘teen’ who isn’t black? Who Knew?
The CCP couldn’t be happier with the results of its product. The Chinese just supply the rope for users to hang themselves.
Difficult for surviving parents to realize their kid was unable to get away from doing deadly stunts.Another grim reminder of the consequences of not avoiding common dangers.
I was always building models in my youth. I remember one marathon session where I got a violent headache from the glue and paint. I never sniffed the stuff intentionally, though.
I also remember you can get the nitrous from spray whipped cream without inhaling noxious chemicals.
So now any and all aerosols should be locked up and require an ID check to purchase.
I have a flip phone, myself and have not got it renewed for the last month. When I am out of touch, I want to be out of touch. I only had it becaus my employer required me to have a cell phone. I fon’t work for that company any more.
For me, a child of the 50’s, it was sniffing the purple mimeograph worksheets our teachers gave us! The horror! LOL!
Of course. It's a way so our employers maintain their leash on us. I get it, it's a necessary evil. But we survived without cell phones back in the old days and we had a better life/work balance back then.
We used to make fake fingernails in our rulers with Elmer’s glue. Some kids would eat them.
