Today, more than 7 million teens are involved in high school athletics. With that comes the desire to be the strongest or the fastest, and to use anabolic steroids to get there. Steroids are used to increase muscle mass and strength, but also cause a wide range of adverse side effects including acne, breast development in men, heart attacks and some cancers. Within this book, learn about the long and short-term effects of steroids which include physical and emotional addiction, expense, health problems, and arrest for possession. Personal stories of teens who used steroids to gain growth, control, and the realities they faced unfold along with advice on how to deal with peer pressure when choosing to say no. Most importantly, there is an entire chapter devoted to getting help.
