When you're an athlete you want to do everything in your power to become the best at whatever sport you play; baseball, basketball, football. Even though your pretty good at it you still think it's never enough. Some teens want to be the best at the sport they're playing so they get desperate. They get so desperate they consider steroids as their only option. Steroids increase the hormones in your body. Even though it might increase strength and endurance, studies show that steroids does not increase athletic abilities. Besides it's not wroth it. Steroids can have some serious side effects to your body. They can led to premature hair loss, mood swings, delusions, paranoia, Insomnia, nausea and vomiting, high blood pressure, aching joints, urinary problems and increased risk of developing heart disease. Not only that, people who inject steroids into their systems by sharing needles have a chance of getting HIV.
