Don't get me wrong, I fully endorse a healthy fit lifestyle and I truly believe that as a teenager you MUST be physically active. But pursuing fitness, health and strength is different than "sculpting" individual big muscles.

Where it becomes worrying and detrimental to development (and creating issues later in life) is when kids start to obsess over a body image put forth by guys like "the situation".
This obsession can push them to eat an unbalanced diet, spend a fortune on crappy powders and damage joints by lifting too hard, too early on.

You're missing the point yourself. None of this has anything to do with weight lifting. Nothing at all. It is both unfair and improper to tell teenagers to refrain from lifting because it can cause them to obsess over their body image. This is like blaming Porsche for a teenager crashing because a kid went too fast in his dad's Porsche in an effort to look macho. The car is not unsafe. It was the kid who didn't know how to drive properly and safely that created an unsafe situation.

Too many pictures of tools takin pictures of themselves in the bathroom mirror. Spend so much time in the gym they can't learn to use the self-timer I suppose.

Many, many, many people who end up ruining their bodies from steroids do so because they just don't know or want more results more quickly than is safe. I personally just do diet and exercise, but I have no need to take supps beyond a multi and fish oil.

Yea I agree with your point, I just hate it when people say steroids are bad and will kill you. Almost as dumb as saying creatine kills you. Someone shooting up tren or popping 20 dbol pills every day cuz some 16 y/o says so deserves the negative side effects. Just wanted to point out for the unaware that when you're mature and ready, steroids can be used as safely as any regular supplement if the proper steps are taken. They're illegal because morons abused them and gave them a bad name.

Those bf % pics are so wrong it's not even funny. According to those I'm like 3% when I'm really 9%.
