Teens need to know the facts about steroids---both guys and girls. Many teens want to look better, be faster, play harder---and they think that using steroids (sometimes called "Juice" or "Roids" ) gets them there quickly. While it's true that steroids do change the human body, these changes often come with a high price. Some of the damage steroids cause is reversible, but some is not. Why take the chance? Steroids come in tablet or liquid form, and they are illegal in the United States. Many people who use steroids buy them from overseas sources with no guarantees of quality or purity. In some cases, teens are shooting steroids into their bodies, not knowing that the product is intended for veterinary use or is adulterated. Anabolic steroids are compounds which are closely related to the male hormone testosterone. This kind of steroid builds muscle mass. Androgenic steroids increase the male characteristics in users. Cycling is a term which describes how take multiple doses of steroids over a specific period of time, stopping for a period, and starting again. In addition, users frequently combine several different types of steroids to maximize their effectiveness while minimizing negative effects, a process known as stacking. These activities wreak havoc on the body, particularly teens' developing bodies.
Image: Potential Negative Side Effects.What are the short term effects of steroids? Guys who use steroids find that their testicles have shrunken, and another common side effect is the development of breasts. Sperm count is reduced and infertility can occur. Females who use steroids become more masculine. Deepening of the voice, excessive facial and body hair, menstrual changes and decreased breast size are a result of steroids. Both guys and girls using steroids can develop acne, baldness, hormone imbalances and depression. Steroids also cause problems with teens' development and stunted growth is a common effect. Even young athletes who have abused steroids have suffered heart attacks and strokes.
It's not just athletes who suffer the consequences of steroids. Young people have suffered too.
