2009-03-13

Name: Editor Have you ever heard about anabolic steroid use? Do you think teenagers are under constant pressure to look good? How would you encourage your child not to use these chemicals?

where to buy?

How does a person get hold of these chemicals? Are they available in shops or do you have to go to the chemist shop to buy them? How would a teenager actually be able to get hold of the steroids? I think such information about buying steroids spread through the medium of friend. Only friends of our teenager child force or influence him to take steroids. It is very essential to make sure that our children are in company of good friends. Other wise it is very essential to keep an eye on them or inform them about the bad effects of consuming steroids.

just like drugs

Hi. I would think that buying steroids is similar to buying drugs. Drugs are illegal but still people are capable of buying them for use. There must be someone to contact if you want to get the steroids. And yes, whatever you have said is correct. Children get information about drugs, alcohol, steroids etc with the help of their friends. But to choose a good thing or a bad thing depends upon your child. It also depends on how you raise your child. The environment in which child is born and brought up is also responsible for good or bad habits of child.

seen in gyms

I have seen grown men consuming steroids with my own eyes when I would go to the gym. These people want to become bodybuilders and they will stop at nothing to get to their goal. I would advise you to be careful with your children when they go to the gym. Keep an eye on them. It is good to inform them before hand about the side effects of using steroids. You can advise them to read articles about steroids and show examples of how steroids can harm human body. It is essential to behave like a friend with your children and discuss with them such teen issues.
