Don Hooton: steroids can cause serious adverse reactions

Certain medicines are called “performance-enhancing drugs”. What do these products represent? Why have been they named “performance-enhancing”? Various individuals may have different definitions. Let mention what an adolescent believes! Before presenting her point of view it is important to mention that her brother, Taylor Hooton, had serious depression after intake of steroids. Finally, he committed suicide. He desired to look like Melky Cabrera, Barry Bonds and other prominent sportspersons that have used steroids. But his life ended suddenly. His sister affirms that performance-enhancing drugs are unsafe preparations. 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, formed a foundation to teach youth about dangers connected with steroids. He describes which dangers are associated with administration of anabolic steroids and other related medications. He also utilizes slideshow presentations in order to explain that these drugs can cause such problems, as diabetes, heart diseases, liver dysfunctions, etc.
Don Hooton put efforts to educate young individuals about grave risks linked with intake of steroids. But he realizes that it is difficult. He claims that a lot of young individuals take doping products. When their friends see that they become stronger and more muscular, they desire to look like them. They follow their examples in order to change appearance and have more endurance.
Unluckily, some parents think that their children are free from steroid use. Some of them think that their daughters don’t apply steroids because these products are recommended to add muscles and body weight in general. But according to some sources, girls also apply steroids. They use these drugs in order to lose fat. Several parents don’t know that anabolic steroids are also taken to burn fat. That’s why adults also should be taught about effects of steroids. Moreover, some parents believe that their children don’t apply steroids because these medications are expensive. But it is enough to have 20-500 dollars in order to obtain steroids for a cycle.
It is stated that every16th high school student administers steroids. But this point of view is mistaken. Every 16th high school student admits to taking performance-enhancing drugs.   But many young individuals hide that they take these drugs.
Those that listen to Don Hooton’s presentations about steroids express their thanks. They are happy that they get knowledge about these medications.
