Don Hooton: steroids are dangerous

Several remedies are called “performance-enhancing drugs”. What do these medications represent? Why have been they called “performance-enhancing”? Various people may present different definitions. Let mention what an adolescent says! Before presenting her point of view it is necessary to mention that her brother, Taylor Hooton, had serious depression after application of steroids. Ultimately, he committed suicide. He desired to look like Melky Cabrera, Barry Bonds and other celebrated athletes who have taken steroids. But his life ended suddenly. His sister confirms that performance-enhancing drugs are dangerous medications. They are named “performance-enhancing drugs” in order to lure young individuals that desire to improve their appearances and performances.
Don Hooton, Taylor’s father, formed a foundation to educated youth about dangers connected with steroids. He describes which dangers are associated with usage of anabolic steroids and other related medicines. He also uses slideshow presentations in order to explain that these medicines can lead to such adverse reactions, as diabetes, heart diseases, liver disorders, etc.
Don Hooton put efforts to educate young people about grave risks connected with administration of steroids. But he acknowledges that it is not easy. He affirms that many young persons take doping products. When their friends see that they become stronger and more muscular, they want to look like them. They follow their examples in order to change 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 apply steroids because these drugs are recommended to gain muscles and body weight in general. But according to several sources, girls also take steroids. They administer these medications in order to lose fat. Certain parents don’t know that anabolic steroids are also applied to burn fat. That’s why adults also should be taught about effects of steroids. Furthermore, several parents believe that their children don’t use steroids because these drugs 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 uses steroids. But this opinion is mistaken. Each 16th high school student admits to taking performance-enhancing drugs.   But many young people 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.
