 Yes, i think the school should be concerned for the teen health , drugs affect the way they learn and their performance in sports. 


How would you feel if you knew a high school like Morton uses steroids on their athletes?

I would protest against what they are doing because steroids affect the development of the teens, their brains are still developing, putting drugs into their body's can have a serious affect on them.

Do you feel it is right to drug test high school athletes?

Yes, it is necessary to keep the competitions fair between the athletes. It will keep the athletes from using drugs that will alter their performance. It will also give them more reason to not engage in illegal activity with narcotics. Athletes are representatives of schools and must do that well. They cannot represent their school well if they are buying illegal substances. 


2. How would you feel if you knew a high school (ex. Morton West) that uses steroids on their athletes?

It is extremely unfair and the school must be reprimanded severely because they condoned the use of steroids by their athletes and no one spoke up to prevent the cheating.
