Salthawk Kid on Steroids

Thank you so much if you commented on my last article!  I am going to base this one on steroids.  For my fifth grade class, we had to write a letter to one of the presidential candidates on their views or opinions. I wrote to Hillary Clinton and asked what she thought about all of the people that are using steroids, I haven't got a reply yet, but when I do I will let you know.

Keep the columns coming and if Hillary does respond, well... Just let us know. That would be real cool.   » Reply to this comment...   Posted by T-MAC 05-27-2008 12:53, , Guest   I agree with you that is a very good point keep putting colums in your my favorite writer so far.   » Reply to this comment...   Posted by tamajama 05-27-2008 13:05, , Registered   As a mom, I can't imagine where the tipping point occurs to make you think it's ok to inject your child with steroids to make him better. Success is a wonderful thing... especially when there are struggles, falls, and last places along the way - those are what life is made of and it's how we learn. Success is NOT winning all the time, at all costs.   » Reply to this comment...   Posted by DebO 05-27-2008 16:53, , Registered   Great post! I do think that some parents expect way to much of their kids. What they do not realize is that steroids is an addiction and they are setting their kids up for future disappointments. Winning is great, however losing can also be great. You now if you did the best you could you are a winner!   » Reply to this comment...   Posted by mitchellhargrave 05-28-2008 09:16, , Registered   My dad used to hit me in the head with books, because he thought it would make me smarter.    Seriously, though. I'm sure that when Corey Gahan's dad was giving him steroids, in his own weird way, he thought he was helping. What he was really doing was working toward destroying every last shred of moral fiber Corey had by setting the wrong example.     In my opinion, it's a really bad idea to set a completely amoral example for your child, whilst feeding him steroids.     Ever heard of Frankenstein's monster?   » Reply to this comment...   Posted by a grandma of lots of athletes 05-28-2008 14:03, , Guest   This is sad, it's really sad when I watch six very healthly hard working grandchildren who love basketball, football, dodgeball, soccer, volleyball, softball, and track and do it with the God given abilities they have - and do very well with those abilities. They get tired, they sweat, sometimes they come in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th - sometimes they lose - but it's all fair and all on their own abilities and hard work. I watch them practice hard, I watch them study the game and the other players, I watch them play smart and fair. No drugs!!! That's crazy - I'm glad there are rules and ways to check these things out! A PROUD GRANDMA!   » Reply to this comment...
