Teens using steroids to put on some muscles
According to a new study a growing number of teenagers are moving towards steroids and protein powders to put on muscle. They say pressure to perform in sport and the media's more muscular body ideal may be driving factors.
When asked about methods the teenagers have used to gain muscle about 91 percent of boys said they exercised more while 35 percent admitted to using protein powders or shakes. Six percent of boys and 5 percent of girls confessed to using steroids.
