Steroids = Busted!
Mood swings, heart attacks, liver cancer, baldness, and depression are just some of the dangerous side affects of steroid use. For some, the desperation to look good or be a top athlete leads to an addiction to this drug. Rich Mintzer exposes the risks of steroid use.
* Reviews *
Busted! series. These books begin with accounts of teenagers who abused or were victims of the featured drug/stimulant, then discuss the drug/stimulant's history and dangers, and conclude with information about kicking the habit. The series is more readable and less manipulative than many of this ilk, although the illustrations include the usual staged photos of teens in distress. Reading list, websites.
