Are Steroids really that bad for you? I mean if they make you so muscular and boost your athletic ability, how can they not do anything but help you? What exactly is so bad about Steroids? There are two different types of steroids, anabolic steroids and Corticosteroids. Anabolic Steroids are the steroids that athletes use to enhance their playing ability to make them better at the game that there playing. These are called testosterone, a male hormone. But both men and women produce testosterone. Having too much testosterone can throw someones body way out of wack. "There are a lot of side effects of steroids," Mautner tells WebMD. "They are not good for you. It is like Russian roulette. Five people may take them and have no long-term problem. The sixth may end up dead."

This is important to my life and the life of my generation because we see all the time in major league sports that professional athletes abuse these drugs. Naturally, us not being as good as the pros wants us to become like them. they inspire us to grow our bodies and to do all we can to be as good as they are. But we cant always do what they do, they make mistakes too. Steroids are very dangerous, they can cause baldness, yellowing of the skin, tendon rupture, heart attacks, liver disease, etc. This is a serious issue that someone has to control because we have too much influence in our lives to be making these dumb decisions.
