Steroids are absolutely dangerous and can destroy an individual's life. Although some people may believe they make you stronger and bigger, the truth is they don't. Some of the biggest reasons why many people make the awful choice to take steroids is peer preasure or in Deborah and Dominic's case sports. You would have to be abosolutely insane, and out of your mind to take steroids! They cause loss of hair, vomiting, if you inject them with a needle HIV, premature balding and hair loss, aching joints, problems sleeping, and so much more. Who in there right mind would ever want these symptoms? The only case when steroids are okay is when a doctor uses them properly on a patient to regain strength. Some symptoms for girls are facial hair growth, and the depening of there voice! I don' think any girl would enjoy that. I think steroids are possibly one of the worst things ever. They do not do any help to a human being and all they do is just cause trouble. After reading this article, I truly get a better understanding on what steroids are and how they work. I've always known that they were bad but now i know how much damage they could cause. I feel bad for the children who look up to their favorite sports player who they think is the best person in the world. Meanwhile, the atheletes are only cheating themselves by setting a bad example. This article was very interesting and extremely educational.

  1. I agree with Erin. I think that many people take steroids under peer pressure and I think that is absolutely wrong. When someone is pressured to do something it doesn't mean they have to do it. Athletes are most definitely setting a bad example to people for taking steroids especially if they don't work. I also agree that no girl or any person would enjoy the terrible affects of taking steroids and no one should have to go through something that horrible.

  3. I agree with Erin. Who would want to take steriods? Um, no one should ever want to. I never knew steriods are so dangerous and can cause so many effects to an individual's life. I also agree with Erin on the fact that steriods should only be taken when prescribted by a doctor.
