Im still reading the book gym candy by Carl Deuker. I'm farther into the book now and I have different ideas and opinions on it now. Mick is now using steroids to get bigger for football. But the steroids have side effects. It's doing all these weird things to his body and is effecting how he acts. Steroids are a horrible thing to resort to. It can change you as a person.
In the book after six weeks of Mick using the steroids he starts to notice weird things happening to his body. He starts to get acne all over his back and chest. And his nipples start to get weird and puffy. The reason for his nipples getting puffy is because the steroid can cause you to grow breast. And when this starts to happen you have to start taking pills to make his nipples and acne to go back to normal. Steroids don't make things better. Ok sure it helps you gain muscle but you can do that on your own. You don't need a drug to get big. You just need confidence and determination. Not a drug that can have weird side effects on you body.
Also the steroids don't just effect his body they effect how he acts and his personality. It gave his road rage. One time in the hall this kid bumped into Mick and knocked all his stuff on the floor. when the kid went to go pick up the stuff Mick grabbed him and slammed him into the lockers. And just before Mick was about to hit the kid. Mick's friend was able to calm him down and snap him out of it. This drug is changing Mick. It's at a point where Mick is actually sticking a needle in his butt.
Drugs are not the thing to resort too. Especially if it has aside effects like this. You don't need drugs to get bigger. You can do that on your own and not have to worry about getting acne or growing breast. Drugs can ruin your life. It can take over your life and change they way you act.
