Don Hooton realizes that it is not easy to teach youth about risks linked with steroids

Some preparations are named “performance-enhancing drugs”. What do these medicines represent? Why have been they called “performance-enhancing”? Various people may have different definitions. Let mention what a teenager believes! Before presenting her point of view it is important to mention that her brother, Taylor Hooton, experienced serious depression after intake of steroids. Finally, he committed suicide. He wanted to look like Melky Cabrera, Barry Bonds and other prominent sportspersons who have applied steroids. But his death came suddenly. His sister notes that performance-enhancing drugs are unsafe medicines. 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 teach youth about risks connected with steroids. He describes which dangers are associated with application of anabolic steroids and other related medications. He also uses slideshow presentations in order to explain that these medications can lead to such side effects, as diabetes, heart diseases, liver dysfunctions, etc.
Don Hooton tries to teach young people about serious risks related to intake of steroids. But he admits that it is not easy. He affirms that numerous young individuals administer 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 improve appearance and have more strength.
Unfortunately, certain parents believe that their children are free from steroid use. Some of them believe that their daughters don’t administer steroids because these medicines are indicated to gain muscles and body weight in general. But according to certain sources, girls also use steroids. They use these products in order to lose fat. Several parents don’t know that anabolic steroids are also taken to reduce fat deposits. That’s why adults also should be taught about effects of steroids. Furthermore, several parents think that their children don’t take steroids because these medicines are expensive. But it is enough to have 20-500 dollars in order to buy steroids for a cycle.
It is affirmed that every16th high school student takes steroids. But this opinion is mistaken. Every 16th high school student admits to using performance-enhancing drugs.   But numerous young individuals hide that they use these preparations.
Those that listen to Don Hooton’s presentations about steroids express their thanks. They are happy that they get knowledge about these products.
