I believe that anyone who uses steroids are insane, and must not know the risks of using them. If the people who use steroids knew the risks they would most definitely not use them. Many teen athletes use steroids to build muscles and become stronger. The article states that steroids do not help with athletic performance. Some athletes might say I will only use it for a season and stop, but steroids are addictive and can be very hard to stop taking them. While reading this article I realized that there are many risks if you use this drug. Some of the risks are mood swings including anger, aggression and depression, another risk is increased risk of heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer. People who inject steroids with a needle are at risk of getting HIV. I learned from this article that steroids are used for medical reasons too. Doctors may use steroids for people who had an operation or have a lost of blood. Doctors give steroids to the patients to regain strength. I think that anyone who uses steroids is insane. I would never take steroids in my life either because steroids are dangerous!

I agree with Katie. the article does state that steroids do nothing for athletes, so why do they continue to take them? ?ell as Katie stated steroids are addictive and if you try it a few times you will NOT be able to STOP! They should only be used by doctors and their medical treatments with steroids NOT anything else.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with Katie. When an athlete decides to use steroids "just for one season" they wont be able to stop. I also agree that if someone herd about the risks of taking steroids they wouldn't even think of taking them and if they already were they would probably stop. Steroids should never be used.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Katie. Steroids are addictive and dangerous. When people say they will use them for only one season they don't know that they will not be able to stop.doctors use them for medical reasons not to turn people into bodybuilders. They shouldn't be used to enhance athletic performance, because it might not work. Some people are just crazy!
