Steroids can cause severe acne, greasy hair, and baldness in both guys and girls. They can also throw off a teen's hormone balance, leading to gender-specific side-effects:

Using steroids, guys can experience shrunken testicles, reduced sperm count, and infertility. They can also develop breasts, a condition called gynecomastia.

Teens who abuse steroids before the typical adolescent growth spurt risk staying short and never reaching their full adult height. Why? Because the body is programmed to stop growing after puberty. When hormone levels reach a certain point, the body thinks it is already gone through puberty. So, bones get the message to stop growing sooner than they normally would have.

When steroids get into the body, they go to different organs and muscles. Steroids affect individual cells and make them create proteins. These proteins can cause big problems.

The liver, for example, can grow cysts, tumors and develop cancer. Both the tumors and cysts can rupture and cause internal bleeding.

Abusing steroids can cause heart attacks and strokes, even in young athletes.

Steroids can weaken the immune system, which is what helps the body fight against germs and disease.

By injecting steroids with a needle, teens can add HIV and hepatitis B and C to their list of health hazards. Many abusers share non-sterile "works" or drug injection equipment that can spread life-threatening viral infections.

Steroid users can experience extreme mood swings, including manic-like symptoms leading to violence.

Users may suffer from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility.
