You may never feel happier because of steroids. You never know.
I'm not advocating the use of steroids by 18 year olds, but I feel it's necessary to approach a situation like this with honesty. And to try to use "scare tactics", as some members seem to do, isn't the best way to educate people on steroids.
Instead of telling them exactly what side effects they will have, tell them about the side effects they may have. And which one's are reversable, and which are very uncommon. It's just unfair to lie to a person by telling them they will get this and that by using steroids prematurely.
To the OP: You're 18, so you are a tad young. But you've obviously done your research. I'd recommend reading up a bit more, start forming your own opinions on this stuff, and really get your diet and training down. After doing that, I'd say go for it. My first cycle was almost identical to yours and I had fantastic results (at the age of 21).
