ough steroids are not physically addictive, they are especially dangerous at your age, and we advise against any use. First of all, at age 13 you may not have finished growing, and taking steroids can disrupt your pubertal development. Second, anabolic steroids can adversely affect every organ system in your body while actually increasing your risk of injury. These drugs increase aggressive behavior, worsen acne, and cause hair loss, heart problems, inflammation of the liver, gynecomastia (growth of breast tissue) and shrinking testicles. You will be most “happy with yourself” if you achieve your fitness goals naturally, with a healthy diet and a supervised exercise program, including weight training and aerobic activity to strengthen your heart and +lungs.
