I have a few questions


Question Posted Thursday April 2 2015, 4:50 pm

I am McKenzie and I have a few questions so I apologize for it being so lengthy.
So this kid in our class ( A Guy) was sniffing markers ( sharpies), Snorting smarties and candy. Smelling hand sanitizer. Evidently he got high off of this. He got a really bad head ache like a migraine and he was about to cry.
Which he isn't one to cry. At first I thought it was just normal he always gets headaches ( I didn't know about the high at the time). Then I heard. He walked funny and was acting drunk. I guess about 30-45 minutes later he felt better and we all took a restroom break. He went and he was talking to someone in the other stall. Which I know cuz the kid in the stall told me the next part. He was laughing and then he stopped. Left the stall crying his eyes out. He told his guy friend something. Long story short he peed blood.
BTW I heard it could be a side effect for type 2 diabetes so
He's healthy skinny tall and eats all fruits and veggies

Next question can a teacher make fun of you?
We we're taking a test and basically the teacher called us Lesbos. Not an insult but I'm not and she said it out loud.
Would she get fired if staff knew?
Next

A teacher was making fun of gays , is this approved for teachers too do?

Thanks

Teachers are highly regulated these days, there are so many rules to govern how they act around and treat the students which if they don't abide by, can cause trouble for them. I can't say how strict school officials would be, be they may be reprimands at first and repeat offenses cause them to lose their job. A teacher is not supposed to tease or name call. Students suffer as is already with self image and for some even teasing that comes across as serious to a child can have an adverse effect in the kid.

As for sniffing things, it is not a wise practice and can end up deadly. Some people are also becoming more sensitive and easily affected by what we consider normal scents in society today. Chemicals used in making paper can set off allergic reaction in a person whose body can no longer fight off allergens the toxins or chemicals in wise use in society today. Some are so allergic their immune system can't handle living in a city and they must go live in the country, wear clothing and cloth make by hand, paper made be hand, home made soaps, home grown food to even have a somewhat normal life. Perhaps he is sensitive that way to scents and instead of usual allergy reactions, his is a 'high' or disorientation. Its possible. The only person who can really be of any help is a medical professional who can begin to test for all sorts of things. Peeing blood is serious! He may be too scared to tell his parents but someone should so they can take him to Dr. cus if he isn't seen and treated for what is wrong with him, he could die. If you've heard this info, it may be best to pass it on to a school counselor so that it can be passed on to his parents to check it out. If I were the parent, I'd want to know. I'd be pissed if my child died because he/she was too afraid to tell me and yet others knew about it and never did what was needed to get that info passed on to me to check it out if it was for real or not.

Mixed bag of questions here. You can indeed get short terms highs, followed by lows from inhaling many very familiar, seemingly safe items and fluids. And gasses (such as butane in lighters and refil cannisters). Markers and many hand sanitizers will contain known sustances, certainly. The substances are known as aromatics (not meaning they smell nice but that they give of vapour at normal temperature which can be 'sniffed'). You don't need me to tell you that this is a stupid, crap idea do you? Long-term use of some may permanently damage your respiratory system. Some may produce a lethal 'hit' the first (and indeed last!) time they're inhaled. There's no way of telling how any will affect an individual. I mean a greatly increased heartrate on a 'high' might not kill YOU, but what if there was a minor heart weakness in ME (that i was not even aware of) which it ruthlessly exposed and gave me a fatal heart attack?? And so on. The substances can also cause big, irreversible damage to internal organs, including the brain. There's a never-ending debate in medicine about 'what causes cancer?' but many of these substances contain known carcinogens. I'm not saying the 'scent' of a marker (used as a marker) is dangerous to your health in any way. Splitting one open, putting it in a paper bag and deeply and repeatedly inhaling the vapour is quite another matter. (And not really what they're meant for is it?. It's not solvents and stuff that are dangerous, it's the ABUSE of them. Unburnt petrol (gasoline) gives off benzine. Not something you want to deeply inhale into your lungs! We all buy heaven knows how many gallons a year. But we don't sniff the bloody stuff day in day out. We put it in our car fuel tanks and put the cap on). That I wouldn't go near it sniffing, ever. Eating a lot of fruit is not really a sign of diabetes (fruit contains high sugar levels). I'm quite surprised that a guy who 'eats healthy' is risking his life and health by 'sniffing' though, aren't you? Seems an odd combination? I'm not aware that peeing blood is a routine problem associated with diabetes. Peeing blood is BAD NEWS. Really bad news. He should have that investigated. And tell the doctor exactly WHAT he has been sniffing as well as he can remember. Could be essential in the diagnosis. A kidney infection (usually easy to cure) can cause traces of blood in urine. But so can some extremely serious physical problems. More than a trace is NEVER acceptable even once. I'd be shocked if I peed blood, so would anyone I should think, so his tearful exit from the stall is understandable. Regarding teachers, well I'm getting on a bit and live in the UK. When I was at school there'd be plenty of verbal banter from teachers, and nobody thought much of it and we generally 'took it on the chin' and all had a laugh about it. Political Correctness in this respect was not really known then. I appreciate things are very different now. If students made complaints they might well get the teachers involved reprimanded (or worse). They are not supposed to comment on sexual orientation or ridicule values and beliefs. How broadminded/mature are YOU? What would you say was the 'spirit' in which the comments were made? Lighthearted and informal, bit of fun? Or malicious and hurtful? A joke about homosexuality is not the same as a teacher professing 'Homosexuality is wrong and evil' in a formal way. I'd base my response on that question. I would not like to see a teacher reprimanded for a lighthearted 'off the record' comment that didn't offend anyone present at the time.

Well I'm not really sure what the question is in there, but it is Extremely unhealthy to snort and smell all of those things. (Even though drugs are very unhealthy too) Skinnyer people Can actually get type two diabetes, and that is probably the reason why he is eating healthier. I highly suggest you tell him to not do those things like an idiot, and get looked at for the blood thing if he hasn't already. NO, a teacher cannot say things like that. I am not entirely sure if they can get fired for it, but it is possible. So I suggest telling an advisor. (The whole story) Depending on what was said exactly when you say "making fun of," because technically a teacher shouldn't make fun if anyone, but whether they could get in trouble or not all depends and what was said.
Hope this helps~
