Many Solution to A Huge Problem

You probably realize now that steroid use among high school athletes is a huge problem that needs to be addressed and fixed. I mean after all if you could save a teenagers life wouldn't you? I sure as hell would and that’s why we need to start thinking of solution on how to solve this. I know this might seem like a hard problem to tackle but there are many solutions to help solve this expanding problem. Like lately numerous high school athletes across the country are beginning to be randomly drug tested for performing enhancement drugs. A quick and simple way to start a change would be educating coaches, athletes, and parents about the serious effects of the drugs and the signs of use. I know this might sound a little silly but you have to start somewhere and that’s why we need to take baby steps. By educating parents, coaches, and friends it might scare them into really paying attention to drastic changes going on with their child, teammate, or players and make them realize they have a huge impact on the athlete's life. I think this will give them courage to confront a steroid user and tell them to stop ruining their life. The teenagers this age are all into the media aspect of the world. Whatever is projected in the media world is usually portrayed through an athlete’s life. Professional athletes may not always be the best role models for athletes to look up to. Athletes need to realize that the images they see on television and magazines are the result of hard work and dedication, not a result of cheating themselves and risking their lives in the process. Now all of these are a great idea for fast and short term effects on steroid use but the most effective way to stop steroid use all together is to start RANDOM DRUG TESTING. Not testing athletes is just leaving the ability for them to use steroids because they know that there is no way to get caught and no consequences to pay. This needs to come to a stop and become the main solution to this whole issue today.
