more asian teens using steroids

A bunch of folks passed along this interesting BBC News article... According to drug workers in England, a growing number of young Asians are using steroids to try and build up muscle and achieve "the perfect body": More Asian teens 'using steroids'.

Needle exchange centers are reportedly seeing the number of Asian users jump from 5% to 25%. While only a small number are using traditional street drugs, many are primarily using anabolic steroids. And the users are apparently getting younger.

I don't know want to sound like a D.A.R.E. ad, but do you know what kind of havoc steroids can wreak on your body? Dangerous side effects include aggression, mood swings, baldness, infertility and in some cases heart attacks. And it shrinks your balls!

Is the pressure to "look good, have the six pack, the biceps and big calves" so intense, that this is the only way to achieve that image? It's called hitting the gym, kids. Stay away from the needles. And I'll say it again: It shrinks your balls!
