BBC NEWS | Americas | Pressure driving young to steroids: "Pressure to succeed on the sports field or simply to look 'better' is driving a growing number of US children to abuse steroids.There is concern that young girls are taking steroids to get a toned look.
Latest estimates suggest more than a million high school students in the country have tried the body-altering drugs - nearly six times the number just 10 years ago.
Among the users are an increasing number of girls - some as young as nine - who are taking steroids to emulate the toned looks of movie stars and pop idols.
Experts say the phenomenon is due in part to children being pushed harder and younger than ever before."
