Kids experimenting with steroids earlier

Posted on Mar 11th 2007 8:51AM by Brian White
A new survey states that kids (defined as "adolescents") are now using muscle-building steroids at an earlier age than in the past -- but thankfully, most stop using these drugs as they grow older.

According the the study, steroid usage peaked at 5% at ages as early as middle school for many kids, and then declined after that point (in general).

The study, which looked at over 2,500 students, concluded that 1 to 3 out of every 100 adolescents surveyed still reported using steroids within the last year. Wow -- that's 33% of students in the survey with steroid use in the last calendar year. Nothing beats buff I guess -- not even personal health.
