Press Release Body: While the majority of steroid use is actually done by men, the
popularity of teens and steroids is growing. Teen and steroids are becoming more

Steroids are man-made substances that are basically artificial male sex hormones.
They are sometimes referred to as anabolic-androgenic steroids which means the
steroids have varying levels of two different types of characteristics. The anabolic
characteristics of steroids refer to muscle-building traits and the androgenic
characteristics of steroids refer to the increase of masculine traits.

There are many experiences affecting teens and steroids sometimes seem to be the
answer. This is because steroids can build muscle which can, in turn, improve
strength and athletic performance. The issue with teens and steroids, however is

The first issue with teens and steroids is that teens often are not yet done
growing. This is why teens and steroids don\'t mix. The added testosterone in the
body signals the body to grow quickly which is why teenagers go through major growth
spurts when they are in puberty, but when testosterone reaches a certain level,
that\'s a signal to the body to stop growing. When teens use steroids, the levels of
testosterone in the body reach the upper level and tell the body to stop growing.
This is why one of the effects of teens and steroids is stunted growth. Teenagers
who take steroids are essentially locking themselves into a height that is shorter
than they would grow if they didn\'t use steroids.

Other effects of teens and steroids are hypervirilization and precocious sexual
development which can affect the teen\'s psyche and emotional well-being. Some
effects of teens and steroids are life-threatening even if they do not show up right
away. These include kidney and liver damage, elevated blood pressure and cholesterol
levels, cardiovascular damage and increased risks for cancer, heart attacks and
stroke.

Additionally, another effect of teens and steroids include changes in appearance
that, while they may not be permanent, they are undesirable. These include acne,
oily skin and hair, jaundice, premature balding and swelling.
