Would you let your son (or daughter) use AAS?

[jozifp103]

If your son/daughter was of age (we'll say 25+), would you have an issue with them utilizing AAS to reach their goals. I know we all preach proper use and take all precautions, but we all know some damage is being done. Steroids are risky to some extent even when done correctly (IMO). So with that said...would you be concerned to find out your son or daughter was using AAS? Obviously after a certain age they make their own decisions, but how would you feel about it? How would you handle it?

Looking forward to responses

i would not necessarily LET him, but if he's 25+ and makes an adult decision that he wants to do it.. then what can do? i'll at least make sure he's doing it right

Only on the condition that my daughter brings her hot 25 year old friends over for a nude slumber party.

Sorry bud, at 25 there's no "letting" unless they live under your roof still.

I would, provided everything was done safely and the diet / exercise was on point first.

You're right...that's why I added "Obviously after a certain age they make their own decisions, but how would you feel about it? How would you handle it?" because yes, at that age it's not a matter of letting. I guess what I'm asking is would you condone it or not....and how would you feel about it/handle it?

Well, the issue with being a parent is that we do our best to prepare our children for the world outside our doors. As I have only one rule with my daughter, and that's to always tell the truth - if she asked me my opinion, I'd give her my honest opinion and if she needed help - I'd offer it.

There are far worse things out there than AAS. I know how we really preach from a conservative side of things, but let's face it; hormone damage is at least something that can be worked with. Can't take back that overdose on heroin, or cocaine. Can't fix a brain that cooked on crystal, and best of luck getting a crank addict clean. At least with AAS, I know there's a healthy lifestyle involved, with clear goal setting. The only reason why it's even taboo at all is because some retard thought it was a great idea to make AAS controlled.

At least that's my .02c.

As others have said there is no letting. If he to me and said I want to use AAS, what do you think, I would give my opinion. I would tell him that you need to really should try to hit your genetic potential before you look toward AAS. Your diet, and supplementation need to be on point, you need to have a good training routing at the gym, and you need to be busting your ass, and actually trying to accomplish something. When you hit a point where your body just doesn't want to get past, not a plateau, but where you really can't achieve much more on your own, that's when AAS might be a realistic option. By that time you're going to be in your thirties before you know you've hit that place. Because, even once you hit it, you have to give it time to know you really hit it.

At that point, now it's time to do things properly. I'd ask that they do their own research, and start learning, so they understand what will be happening. At the same time, I'd want him to allow me to guide him, so he can do it safely. Not like I'm a guru. When I decide to cycle, I will be asking questions here, but I do know the foundation, and safety precautions.

If he decided to be inpatient, not wait to really try to get the most you can out of himself before using AAS, then I'd still want to help him, and have him learn. If he's going to run out and do it, all be it ill advised, I'd rather having him doing it as safe as possible.

The " do as I say not as I do" lesson doesn't work in real life most of the the time. Our kids mimic us, learn from us. Our habits, they way we del with things and our actions. If you don't want them o do aas then we should set the example and not do them ourselves.

Totally agree with this. I grew up a pretty straight edged kid...mainly because my parents either...didn't do anything bad, or just hid it well from me. My dad was always a big dude (5'11'' 250lbs stacked) and I wanted to be big and scary like him. Turns out I got my mom's family's' skinny awkward genetics. My dad never admitted to steroids until he found out I was using them a few years ago...now we hit the gym and get yolked together

Ok guys....let me throw this at ya...

Assuming you're ok with them using.....would you help them get it? Before you answer....would you rather them use a trusted source that you know and use?....or take a chance with another source that they find on their own, and possibly get ripped off or dirty gear?

I think the best think to do for a child, and I know we're talking about AAS here, but this goes for anything else as far as Im concerned, is to not just out right say no. Because let me tell you if you don't know this already, and I sure hope you do, but that doesn't work. The more you say no the more they want to go and do it, its human nature. Unless, of course, they are scared of you, which I don't agree with, but hats a whole different topic.

If I were to have kids, which I wont because I don't want them and never have wanted them. I would sit them down and explain to them exactly AAS work, what they do, how they do, potential risks and then let them make an informed decision on their own. Now someone 25yo+ doesn't need to ask permission for a damn thing but maybe a 18 19 year old person might.

'No' doesn't work, a better approach is to explain why that it isn't a good and make the young man or woman understand WHY you are telling them 'no' and not just it, and make him/her NOT want to do it based on an informed decision. I see many parents and people in general who need to adopt this philosophy, it would get them much further in life.

This is true if they know that you use, or have used AAS. If they do not know it is not a do as I say, not as I do. I'm not sure why they would know. I surely wouldn't be supportive of parents being that open with their children until maybe they children aren't children anymore at the age of 35-40 maybe? If it is never relevant in conversation, or never needs to come up, why bring it up any way?

If there is nothing I can do to dissuade them, etc., and they say, "Thank you for your input. I'm going to start researching then, and I AM going to use AAS regardless." That's when you say, well then, I'm on TRT. I go on a forum where TRT is discussed, but AAS use is discussed as well. There are a number of reputable sources out there to use, and I've seen it mentioned before. Let me verify, and we'll plan out what you're going to do, how you're going to do it, the right way, the safe way, and with gear that we know is good. I'm not letting you go to your dumb ass friend at some gym that says, "Oh yea bro, take this you'll get huge.".

I would first go with Halfwits 25 year old friend nude slumber party!

And if that wasn't an option...

Then I would have to be involved... BUT the devils in the details!

I would be ok with it if everything was planned right - which might include waiting for 5, 10, or even 15 years... which could
bring him/her up to 40 years old if that was the best long term plan.

I would also use my trusted source for their own safety... which is why we're all here anyway...

We first come here to learn for our best interest and safety... as we lean more - we do our best to help others for their own safety...

... this is what I would do for my son or daughter - and pick them up - brush them off if needed.

Not being involved - would not be an option.

I would be a LOT more concerned about possible jail time, no one has brought that up?!-spoken by a paranoid dad!so far all my experience is with Dr. Prescribed test. still getting the courage up to order from a ugl, will probably happen though...

Very true about the jail time. I would certainly take some time to teach proper precautions and how to stay safe.

Yes you need to be safe. However, the chances that your package is going to get ceased coming in through customs (if you order from a source outside the country), and that it would lead to an arrest, or jail time is very low. Even if it's ceased, you'll receive a letter that it was ceased, and no one is showing up at your door step. Also, jail time for some AAS within limits of personal use, not for distribution, and there won't be any jail time. There may not even be any jail time for someone that has enough to be classified as distribution based on quantity.

Yes there are precautions that need to be taken, yes you should be aware of what COULD happen, but the likelihood is low. The DEA, etc., aren't wasting their resources on coming after average Joe and their personal AAS use. They want the big boys, or at least biggish boys.
