Let me explain... You know the hypothalamus pituitary testicular axis (hpta) does not care how much you train, how tall you are or who you know that has done steroids... It cares about doing it's job. Producing and regulating hormones important men. Even when we are done getting taller, usually by 18 or so- we still have a lot of developing to do. Especially in the HPTA. When anyone uses exogenous testosterone, or any steroid for that matter, it interferes with our HPTA. We often refer to this as "shutting down". The reason why those under 25 are at a greater risk of long term damage is because before this age our HPTA is still developing and interrupting this process can be very hard on it. For some, they will never recover. The truth is, you don't know the damage you cause until it's too late. So age is not just a number unless you're talking about going on a date or perhaps something else not health related.
If you feel that the age is not important to someone deciding to use steroids, maybe your advice is best kept to your self. No offense. It's just because around here we try to advise people on making healthy decisions for the long term... But after that is done, you are right, it's up to them to decide. But I don't condone such behavior, and many around here don't either. That's why I give my .02 without hesitation.
And of course, you are also 19! I guess you don't care about long term consequence yet either because you don't have to think that far ahead... You're still invincible
