Question 1

how can i stop my friend from sniffing dendrite (a glue consisting toluene and other intoxicants)?

Accepted Answer

You can't: You cannot assume responsibility for another person's poor health decisions. What you CAN do is offer to share other meaningful and fun activities with this person. Don't nag or criticize, and simply hope that this person will walk away from it like most others who experiment with glue sniffing.

Question 2

how can i prevent my friend from sniffing dendrite (a glue consisting toluene and other intoxicants)?

Accepted Answer

You can't: The best you can do is be a friend. Nagging a person to give up something they probably already know isn't wise doesn't help and gets resented. Offer that person something better to do. There is nothing good about sniffing glue, but most people don't die of it and probably don't even get seriously damaged. Don't endanger the friendship -- you may be this person's one true friend after all.

Accepted Answer

Depends: The need to close a laceration depends on the size, depth, and location of the cut. The purpose of sutures (stitches), staples,  or glue is to pull the edges of the cut together to allow it to heal with less risk of scarring and infection. A type of medical 'super glue' can be used on cuts in areas such as the scalp and in areas that don't get a lot of pulling.
