Don Hooton: steroids can lead to certain serious health problems

Some remedies are named “performance-enhancing drugs”. What do these medications represent? Why have been they named “performance-enhancing”? Various persons may present different definitions. Let see what a teenager says! Before presenting her opinion it is necessary to mention that her brother, Taylor Hooton, experienced serious depression after application of steroids. Finally, he committed suicide. He desired to look like Melky Cabrera, Barry Bonds and other famous athletes that have used steroids. But his death came suddenly. His sister believes that performance-enhancing drugs are dangerous preparations. They are named “performance-enhancing drugs” in order to lure young people that desire 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 risks are associated with administration of anabolic steroids and other related preparations. He also uses slideshow presentations in order to explain that these medications may lead to such negative effects, as diabetes, heart diseases, liver disorders, etc.
Don Hooton tries to educate young individuals about grave risks linked with usage of steroids. But he admits that it is difficult. He claims that a lot of young persons use doping products. When their friends see that they become stronger and more muscular, they desire to be like them. They follow their examples in order to change appearance and have more strength.
Unfortunately, certain parents think that their children are free from steroid use. Some of them believe that their daughters don’t take steroids because these drugs are recommended to get muscles and body weight in general. But according to numerous sources, girls also administer steroids. They use these medicines in order to lose fat. Several parents don’t know that anabolic steroids are also applied to reduce fat deposits. That’s why grown-ups also should be taught about effects of steroids. Furthermore, some parents think that their children don’t administer steroids because these products are expensive. But it is enough to have 20-500 dollars in order to obtain steroids for a cycle.
It is considered that each16th high school student administers steroids. But this opinion is mistaken. Each 16th high school student admits to taking performance-enhancing drugs.   But the most of young individuals hide that they administer these products.
Those who listen to Don Hooton’s presentations about steroids express their thanks. They are thankful that they may get knowledge about these preparations.
