Don Hooton: steroids are unsafe

Several medicines are named “performance-enhancing drugs”. What do these medications represent? Why have been they called “performance-enhancing”? Various persons may have different definitions. Let mention what a teenager believes! Before presenting her opinion it is necessary to mention that her brother, Taylor Hooton, experienced serious depression after intake of steroids. Finally, he committed suicide. He desired to look like Melky Cabrera, Barry Bonds and other prominent athletes that have applied steroids. But his life ended suddenly. His sister confirms that performance-enhancing drugs are unsafe products. They are called “performance-enhancing drugs” in order to lure young people who want to improve their appearances and performances.
Don Hooton, Taylor’s father, established a foundation to educated youth about dangers related to steroids. He describes which dangers are associated with usage of anabolic steroids and other related preparations. He also uses slideshow presentations in order to explain that these products can cause such unwanted results, as diabetes, heart diseases, liver dysfunctions, etc.
Don Hooton tries to teach young individuals about severe risks connected with intake of steroids. But he realizes that it is not easy. He confirms that numerous young persons use doping medications. When their friends see that they become stronger and more muscular, they want to be like them. They follow their examples in order to change appearance and be stronger.
Unfortunately, several parents think that their children are free from steroid use. Some of them believe that their daughters don’t take steroids because these medicines are recommended to gain muscles and body weight in general. But according to several sources, girls also administer steroids. They take these medications in order to lose fat. Certain parents don’t know that anabolic steroids are also used to lower fat deposits. That’s why adults also should be taught about effects of steroids. Furthermore, certain parents think that their children don’t administer steroids because these preparations are expensive. But it is enough to have 20-500 dollars in order to purchase steroids for a cycle.
It is affirmed that every16th high school student administers steroids. But this opinion is mistaken. Every 16th high school student admits to applying doping products.   But numerous young people hide that they apply these preparations.
Those who listen to Don Hooton’s explanations about steroids express their thanks. They are thankful that they may get knowledge about these medications.
