Okay,
Listen PLEASE, I NEED HELP HERE.
My bestfriend is a 13 year old(about to be 14) kind of nerd at his school. The bully of the school wants to fight him. He has gotten into fights before but he thinks he will get beat up in the fight. He wants to use steriod JUST for the fight then stop after he beats up the school bully. What will happen to him if he takes it?
Will it make his life time shorter if he takes anabolic steroids just for about a week or so, so he can get a little bigger and can win the fight, will it shorten his lifetime?
And lifting weights wont work because they will take like 3 months and he doesnt have that much time.
PLEASE SOMEONE REPLY TO THIS COMMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I NEED HELP WITH THIS NOW, IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF SOMEONE COULD REPLY TO THIS COMMENT SOON.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Usual scare tactics, based on moral posturing, do a google for cancer caused by smoking, hard research results come up, do a search for cancer caused by steroids, and this type of crap comes up, no hard facts, just a bunch of drones like this author saying

drugs are bad m’kay

Bottom line, steroids have their place, instead of using scare tactics that will keep someone from using steroids when they are needed for medical reasons, it might be a better idea to instill a sense of integrity in the youth of the next generation, something which seems to be missing more and more, like this author here, willing to lie and exaggerate the truth just to push some personal moral agenda , which ironically is immoral because its deceptive.

Additionally Rachael the type of Steriod your granddaughter is taking are known as Catabolic (meaning shrinking) Steriods and are not in the same class with Anabolic (Growing) Steriods. The doctor she is seeing is the best person to direct these types of questions to. Many people make the mistake of calling Androgenic Anabolic Steroids simply Steroids. Investigate, ask questions, consult physicians but dont assume that all steroids are lumped into the same boat.

hi rachel, there’s a big difference between steriod usage for medical conditions such as asthma and steroid usage for sports. Doctor monitor steriod usage for respiratory conditions is common.

Stop using scare tactics. 1. roid rage is a myth if ur jackass to begin with your even a bigger one while on it. 2. No one ever uses AAS for a long time and death lol come on. 3. Any side effect is reversible like testicle shrinkage they grow back. If anyone is planning to do AAS don’t do it until your atleast 21 and have done all your research before trying it.

Hi Maria,

Sorry to hear about your friend.

To be honest, I don’t know if there is any connection between steriod use and pancreatic cancer. I haven’t seen any when I was research information on the dangers of steriod use.

Can steroid use cause an increase in the chance of getting pancreatic cancer?
I had a friend who was a health nut. Perfect, heathy body, ate the perfect diet, never smoked, the only thing he did do was take steriods at one time. He was diagnosed at 48 with pancreatic cancer and died 39 days later. He was the opposite of everything that points to pancreatic cancer. Steroid use is the only thing I can think of that would cause this disease in this type of person.

They can also cause shrinking in men, if you know what I mean. Not that that’s as important as some of what you listed, but it could be disastrous to some mens egos.
