Steroid use on the rise in teen girls

I know I should be surprised, but for some reason I'm not.

I don't get it, I personally don't like that look.

(please don't try to explain)

That is really, really frightening. I shudder to think of the long term, even permanent effects that will have on their health.

Maybe one day they'll look like this.

*shudder*

I think it makes them look SO GOOD!

I want better muscle tone and stronger muscles, but damned if I'd use drugs to do it.

Oh excellent, I thought making fun of people's physical appearances might be considered unacceptable here.
Hubba! Hubba! Check out the inner beauty on that babe!

If that girl lost some weight she'd be pretty hot.

Posted by jebus202 (Member # 2524) on :

Yea, rowr! Check out the lucious locks!

She looks a little like Liv Tyler.

I'm not saying that picture must be photoshopped...

But that picture is photoshopped.

Oh My Heck! Pat posted! :runs in circles: (is really excited, not being sarcastic. Note lack of winking smiley)

My sister used creatine when she was in high school. I was kind of surprised and dismayed to learn that.

I don't know, it seems like this is just a symptom of eating disorders/perfecitonism/
unrealistic expectations. Of course, if we could agree on how to prevent that...

Creatine isn't illegal - it isn't particularly good for performance-based muscles, but there isn't any evidence to suggest negative drawbacks for purely cosmetic uses.

As websites go, this is less propaganda-driven than most.
