Emotional swings....as a teenager your moods are sometimes out of control anyway. Using gear intensifies this. People w/ unstable tendencies become very unstable while their on. I'm not saying all teens are unstable, but chemically you have a higher perpencity.
I think any drug unsupervised drug use (recreational) is bad for people under 18. I am a huge hypocrit for saying this, but after all the garbage I partied w/ it really believe i nthis statement.
You have you whole life to use drugs in a controlled manner, why rush?

Doesn't it mess up the endocrine system?
hard to say as there isn't much proof as to what really happens, most is just speculation. I would have to think that there could be major physcological changes and possible permanent changes made to the endocrine system
LAM, you're always so insightful. I should have bought you a drink while I was out there in Vegas 
Makes a lot of sense. Your hormones are swinging as it is, adding excess hormone will only throw them out of wack even further. I've been finding bits and pieces of research about this.lnvanry said:
I think most concern is about being mature enough to use. The "F-ing your endocrine system up" carries pretty much zero evidence. The 1996 study published in the NEJM used people as young as 19, and gave 600mg/week of Test Cyp, and I think if someone from that study suffered serious after effects, we'd know about it.
I think it is also more of an attempt to err to the side of caution

did all of the big name bodybuilders we know today take roids during there teen days?
like you say, most of it is just speculationLAM said:
Musclepump I found this site whch does state most information about steriod use has not been obtained from controlled studies, but from actual cases.

Possible Health Consequences of Anabolic Steroid Abuse:
Hormonal system
men infertility
breast development
shrinking of the testicles
women
enlargement of the clitoris
excessive growth of body hair
both sexes
male-pattern baldness
Musculoskeletal system
short stature
tendon rupture
Cardiovascular system
heart attacks
enlargement of the heart's left ventricle
Psychiatric effects
homicidal rage
mania
delusions
Skin
acne and cysts
oily scalp
Infection
Liver
cancer
peliosis hepatis
For adolescents ??? growth halted prematurely through premature skeletal maturation and accelerated puberty changes. This means that adolescents risk remaining short for the remainder of their lives if they take anabolic steroids before the typical adolescent growth spurt.

give me a break....brogers said:
Maybe if a manic depressive person takes it...I actually feel confident and poised when I'm on testosterone....not to mention extremely horny, which the GF likes

i bet you killed her afterwards.... hah
I'm a short, oily and angry man. Just think I could have taken steroids as a kid and not had to worry about the effects.
p.s. after I finish typing this I'm gonna go release some homicidal rage on a couple of puppies and maybe a kitten...shoulda taken roids as a kid, then I wouldn't have to wrestle so much with the kittens...

The stuff does set some people off who cant handle it I know of a particular gear head that brutally tortures his friends and comes out of jail for about a week and is always sent back with another assualt charge.
hahahaha, WHAT?durk said:
hahaha
pmsl!durk said:
He's out for a week at a time? How does he find time to make new friends, torture them, get charged with a crime, get convicted in court, get sentenced, report for sentencing all while staying on cycle? Come on Dr. Jekyll, where's Hyde? Prison? Maybe I'll catch him next week.durk said:

hahaha you have got to be kidding. Yes i do recall wanting to kill many individuals on cycle... Oh wait thats everyday 
.I think i recall someone saying something about that it can permanently alter natural test levels (higher or lower) after cycle. Anyone hear of this?
Yes I've heard of this possibility. Ive also heard that cutting your balls off permanently alters natural test levels. Whats your point?ST240 said:

I don't really know what to say to this... I'm not illustrating a point. Just throwing the idea out there, trying to stimulate discussion; Wondering if anyone had heard of it, hoping someone more experienced than me could clear it up, etc. Evidently you have, although i was expecting a more "indepth" response than the one you provided me with.
haha, I was just playing around. Yes there is the possibility of anabolic use permanently altering your natural test production. One example could be someone who stays on for a number of years. The continuous and long term suppression of your HPTA could make it very hard, or impossible for your natural test levels to get back to normal if you cycle off. But natural test levels can be affected by other things like genetics (hypogonadism) and test levels peak in your early 20's then begin to decline, which is why anabolics are perscribed as hormone replacement therapy. So it is possible for anabolic use to alter your natural test production, but they won't cause a permanent increase in your levels for life as a result of use. I've never heard of someone coming off a cycle and their natural test levels were permanently elevated due to some "side effect" (although I think if this side effect was possible, it would be a welcome one).ST240 said:I don't really know what to say to this...
