Not really, it's because of all the things being pushed on people everyday In the name of profit. There are so many products out there that these suppliers and distributors hype up as being totally safe while getting huge gains and results that kids hear it and want to take it. Then when it doesn't work they are already used to taking stuff so they say screw it and move up to real steriods. Look in any magazine ads where something is called "anadrol50" and claims it's totally safe and Yada Yada Yada. It is false marketing and advertising. With the internet it is so easy for kids to be bombarded with wrong and sometimes harmful info. I think instead we should be helping these kids by telling em the truth and offering safe advice. I first took my steriod cycle in highschool, because of reading thru magazines and wanting to be big and jacked.
But this is part of growing up. There's evil and misinformation everywhere, not just with steriods but drugs, booze, sex, hard crimes etc. Honestly if some kid wants to take steriods then whatever, I'm more worried about the kids doing heroin and meth at 16. I also find it funny how I have read on another forum I'm on where this older guy was ranting about how these young kids go to his gym and he thinks they are juicers and how he puts so much effort into his diet and routine before he finally was "ready" to take steriods and how these kids just go and juice doing crap workouts and get jacked. Really seems that he is just jealous of these kids because they juice and just jerkoff and get so good looking where he has to put alot of time and effort in. Lol.
According to him I am one of these guys taking a shortcut, I eat what I want and do bullshit workouts, but I do hit the gym everyday and I do spend a decent amount on steriods. Why would I not take steriods? It is a short cut and we all know it here.
