Steroids: More than Meets the Eye
1 Comment Regardless of whether or not teens should care about body image or physical appearances, the truth is that we do care, a lot. And working out is a healthy way to look and feel better. The trouble comes when people sacrifice their health to look buff—like by taking steroids.
While not that many teens try steroids even once, according to NIDA surveys (about 3 in 100), those who do use steroids are getting a lot more than just larger muscles. Steroids can cause acne and make your hair fall out. They can also damage your heart and change your hormone levels so that girls might grow facial hair, and boys could develop breasts. Seriously.
NIDA scientist Dr. Baler reveals more about what steroids can do in the video to the left.
I have a friend who takes steroids since 10 years. He has NO-ZERO-NADA-NONE-0 immune system, he catches colds etc. every week but he continues taking steroids just to look good, I feel sorry for him
