I don't know where to post this but I figured it should go here. This is all based on personal experiences.
One reason why I think we see all these kids coming on here is due to America's view on drugs and steroids. One reason is we glamorize steroids here. When we talk about how powerful something is we say "it's on steroids." I've literally been hearing/using that phrase since I was 10. Kids hear this and automatically it's in our heads that steroids make everything bigger and better.
Second reason is we over exaggerate claims on steroid abuse. Look at how the world views Barry Bonds. The man was an amazing athlete, Hall of Fame worthy, before he even took steroids but he's shunned because we believe all his success was built on gear. Never mind he dedicated his life to this sport and he ate and trained with the sole purpose of being the best. No he used steroids therefore he didn't earn anything. Kids hear this and think "man if I take steroids, I'll be bashing home runs left and right."
Third reason is due to the medical community. On TV, we are plastered with ads from drug companies that can solve every one of your health issues if we just take this magic pill. I see so many patients come in who have type II diabetes and they start telling you what they've been eating (candy, sugar, soda, white bread etc) and you tell them that it's wrong to eat like that, they just respond "I'll take more insulin then." And the worst is doctors will just say "'maybe you should lose weight" but then write them a prescription anyway! Patients with high blood pressure eating potato chips and burgers. They'll take the drugs but won't change anything else about their lifestyle. In America, the pill can do all. No one practices health prevention. 75% of all patients I have seen would never need a prescription if they just took care of themselves. So we in America have adopted this attitude that we don't need to work hard to get what we want. 30 minute abs, 20 minutes to tone. No one believes in hard work and so the kids see this attitude and think steroids will solve problems of being small...it won't.
And the fourth reason is lack if strong parental figures in today's society in general. I know so many kids who abuse gear and you look and their parents never had any time for them. No one told or showed them how to be strong, not just physically but mentally an emotionally. So they look to compensate some other way and then they give in to peer pressure because they have no foundation. They want to get big and they see older guys juicing and instead of thinking or asking for support they go look for the quickest solution to their problems.
So if any kids happen to read this; train hard, be strong, eat smart and be dedicated. You take those principles and you apply them to life, you'll be great physically and emotionally. Don't go for the quick fix, go for the right thing
