Don Hooton: steroids are related to several side effects

Some preparations are called “performance-enhancing drugs”. What do these preparations represent? Why have been they named “performance-enhancing”? Various persons may present different definitions. Let present what a teenager believes! Before presenting her point of view it is necessary to mention that her brother, Taylor Hooton, had serious depression after usage of steroids. Finally, he committed suicide. He desired to look like Melky Cabrera, Barry Bonds and other celebrated athletes who have applied steroids. But his life ended suddenly. His sister notes that performance-enhancing drugs are dangerous preparations. They are named “performance-enhancing drugs” in order to lure young individuals who want to improve their appearances and performances.
Don Hooton, Taylor’s father, formed a foundation to teach youth about risks connected with steroids. He describes which dangers are associated with application of anabolic steroids and other related preparations. He also utilizes slideshow presentations in order to explain that these preparations may cause such unwanted consequences, as diabetes, heart diseases, liver dysfunctions, etc.
Don Hooton tries to educate young people about dangerous risks linked with intake of steroids. But he admits that it is difficult. He confirms that a lot of young persons apply doping products. When their friends see that they become stronger and more muscular, they want to be like them. They follow their examples in order to improve appearance and have more endurance.
Unfortunately, several parents think that their children are free from steroid use. Some of them think that their daughters don’t take steroids because these products are indicated to get muscles and body weight in general. But according to numerous sources, girls also take steroids. They use these drugs in order to lose fat. Some parents don’t know that anabolic steroids are also used to lower fat deposits. That’s why grown-ups also should be educated about effects of steroids. Moreover, certain parents think that their children don’t use steroids because these drugs are expensive. But it is enough to have 20-500 dollars in order to get steroids for a cycle.
It is affirmed that each16th high school student applies steroids. But this opinion is mistaken. Each 16th high school student admits to applying doping products.   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 happy that they get knowledge about these products.
