So I was watching the news last night, and happened to be watching a station out of Mass. I saw a story that I felt I needed to watch. I watched it and it really PISSED ME OFF!
Apparently, coaches and PARENTS are forcing their kids to use steroids if they are on High School sports teams. They showed a 14 year old basketball star who was basically forced by his dad and coach to use steroids. So now he is using steroids, he is bulking up and seems fit. He is an excellent player no doubt. Here is the catch. He knows it is not good for him, and he does not want to be using roids, but he also does not want to quit, because he is scared to lose the muscle and strength he has gained.
There was a similar article in Sports Illustrated a few months back about a father that was put in prison for forcing his 15 year old son to use steroids. COME ON!!! We are supposed to guide our children, and be examples for them.
I am not naive, I know alot of people use steroids, and I even think they can be used safely... under a doctors care. I do not know much about roids, I have never used them. I do know this though... steroids create a physical dependance, because the user does not want to lose what they have gained. I am not sure if they create a physcological dependance, but I know steroids fuck with your mood and personality.
I have had my battles with addiction and I have come out the victor. I will never EVER go down that road again, and hopefully I can guide my kids to stay clear of that path. I have never been an addict to steroids, or any supplements for that matter.
I fully think that competing and trying your best and winning, because YOU did it, is like climbing Mount Everest. I have won a few local karate tournaments when I was younger, and those few seconds when you are exhausted, in pain and realise YOU just won... that... read entire entry
