Smoking PLEASE REPLY NEED HELP ASAP

[Cupofteaxxxxx]

My 13 year old daughter had a cigarette (she got it from a stranger who gave all her friends one as well and they were fine) she started to feel really hot and couldn’t walk. Then her jaw hands legs started to shake and wouldn’t stop she sat in a McDonald’s bathroom on the floor for about half an hour when she threw up and it was black liquid (probably from her Coca Cola) and couldn’t. Walk properly. When she went to the cinema the workers noticed her jaw and hands kept shaking and she went to the bathroom to throw up again. She was incredibly tired and kept getting headaches. They gave her water but she decided to tell them she was fine so an ambulance would t be called. I wasn’t there but her friends called me incredibly worried about her because they didn’t know what to do . She has no medical conditions

You are being so naive if you think this was a cigarette. She needs to come clean with you about where she has been and who she has been talking to. Your friendly mummy stance has backfired on you and she is doing things much more mature for her age because you’ve let her think she’s more mature than she is. Mother her. You’re not her friend.

Sounds like some kind of drug reaction tbh, it's sad she's going down a crap path so young. You can help her change it!

Try and get her to fess up to what actually happened, who she got it from etc, maybe mention her friends are really ill and the parents need to know what they took otherwise they'll go to hospital (not true obviously but might make her fess up!)

Also agree that this sounds far more than just a cigarette. She’s not being honest with you about what she’s taken and what happened. What time did this happen? Was it night time? I have a 13yr old DD and there’s not a chance in hell that she’s allowed out after dark on her own with friends without adult supervision unless it’s a party or something like that.

Sorry to be frank but your DD is 13 years old and is putting herself in danger with the whole approaching and taking things off of strangers. You need to be the parent and intervene. She is on a very slippery slope here and I would be seriously thinking about who she is friends with and how much freedom you are giving her.

The jaw shaking sounds suspicious!

Well, be honest with her. That's what she's risking each and every time she takes something from a stranger.


Ask her if she enjoyed it? Was it fun? Worth the risk the next time?


Hopefully some decent aversion therapy for her and her friends.
