Steroids? Are they as bad at the media points them out to be?

Yeah i hear all that stuff about how bad steroids can be but there are things that can keep you from getting those side effects. Like shrinking of testes and ***** ****. i understand that your liver can be fucked up but their are several steroids that have shown not to effect that at all. The media to me makes a big deal out of it to keep it away from teenagerd who want to be good at sports or have a nice body. I've been doing research on this the past few weeks and overall haven't really seen anything that shows that they can kill you unless your an idiot and take them in large dosages or don't have a safe planned out cycle.
Answer:
Anyone researching a topic like this needs to be aware that there are a lot of sources pumping out positive information in the interest of boosting sales. As you point out, dosage is critical. You may be willing to risk having your penis shrink, but steroids can also cause "roid rage", which has led a lot of guys to assault and batter (and murder) people over trivial offenses. Controlling anger is a lot harder than controlling the rate of muscle gain.
In addition, the effects of steroids are temporary. It's not entirely natural for people to have 18" biceps, and once you drop the dose or stop it, the muscles lose bulk. Steroid abuse is addicting, at least psychologically. In addition to this, you can make your muscles too strong for their tendons, and the result can be permanent and painful injury.
If they were entirely safe, doctors would be prescribing them left and right. Steroids are powerful hormones. Be careful!
Yes they are terrible. They are used as a quick fix for some ailments and for athletes to pump up with. They damage your bones and erode your major organs when you use them on a continued basis.
Steroids are a medication plain and simple, they can be used responsibly, and they can be abused. Saying "Steroids are terrible!!" is like saying "Painkillers are terrible!!" the truth is that they CAN be terrible in the hands of the wrong person. I'm not really going to advocate one way or the other, but I will point out that America is one of the few countries that actually have laws against steroid use. Steroids are not a "Quick Fix" the statistics say 1 in every 5 amateur athlete will try steroids, so why aren't our gyms full of guys that look like the Hulk? Because it's not as easy as just taking a shot!! It takes a lot of Education and proper training to get to that kind of body EVEN WITH STEROIDS. In fact the athletes I've known that have used steroids work out substantially harder then the ones that don't. So how could it be that they are using a "Quick Fix"? I've been a bodybuilder for years. I've known dozens of steroid users, and I've known dozens of natural weight lifters. The evils of steroid use aren't nearly as rampant as people think.
