Banning Steroids

As some of us know he body produces steroids naturally to support such functions as fighting stress and promoting growth and development. But some people use steroid pills, gels, creams, or injections because they think steroids can improve their sports performance or the way they look. Steroids tend to cause different types of problems. Some of the more serious or long lasting side effects, for example are premature balding or hair loss, dizziness, mood swings, aggression, and depression, having delusions, extreme feelings of mistrust or fear (paranoia), problems sleeping, greater chance of injuring muscles and tendons and many more. What makes steroid use to bad is that professional athletes have been regarded as heroes and role models for as long as there have been competitions. So these athletes have to be able to accept the status and responsibility, whether they want the role or not. Steroids are known to be an attractive drug with risky effects that many people who even use them do not realize the danger consequences steroids can have on their bodies and their minds. Steroids have caused an insignificant number of deaths in our society and that is one of the many reasons why steroids should be banned. Another reason is for the simple fact that steroids have tons of side effects that are not known to the uninformed user. Addiction is huge when it comes to steroid use and becoming addicted cause eventually lead to bigger problems, such as people may lose interest in friends and family because their concentration is on their physique and athletic improvements. Steroids use has been known to cause “roid rages” and that is when out of nowhere the user starts using spontaneous acts of violence and abuse towards anyone a user comes in contact with. That is something our society does not need to deal with. I feel that because a good amount of professional athletes take steroids, then a numerous number of high school students will be kicking the thought around themselves. Instead of people listening to what is being said and the use of them needs to be taught as a lesson for the younger people. Banning steroids would not only help the people who are currently abusing them, but also it helps control the spread of steroid addiction in society.
