Baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez was suspended for an entire year for using them. Cyclist Lance Armstrong had to forfeit seven Tour de France titles for the same reason. And now, countless kids are following suit and dancing with danger by using them in an effort to get ahead. We're talking about performance enhancing substances, drugs, and procedures that include everything from blood doping to steroids to one of the latest and most dangerous substance abuse trends in youth culture. . . human growth hormone (HGH)...

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO BREAKFAST


An article by Walt Mueller from 2004.

Coed Sleepover
 
Some of my greatest fifth grade memories involve those Friday night sleepovers me and the guys used to have at Stuart Hayman's house. Stuart was my fifth grade classmate and he had the coolest parents in the world. Their high-end cool factor was fed by the fact that at least once every two months, they'd let Stu invite a handful of friends to spend the night. After finishing dinner at my house, I'd grab my sleeping bag, pillow, flashlight, and toothbrush and head out the door to walk up the street to the Hayman's. During the walk, I'd excitedly anticipate an overnight experience made up of several important ingredients: we'd stay up late, we'd order pizza, we'd tell scary stories, and - best of all - there'd be no girls!...

YOUTH CULTURE HOT QUOTE
_________________________________________________
 
"I never wanted to be famous. That's a byproduct of what I do. Fame is truly a byproduct of the dream that I had. People want to be recognized for their work, but nobody wants to be famous for nothing. Fame is, I think, disgusting. And it's really hard to separate your public life from your personal life. Useless fame is disgusting. I think if you've got a talent or something to offer, a creative thing to offer to the world, then I think that's beautiful. But that famous for nothing thing is kind of gross. It's a bummer. And, you know, I only ever just wanted to make music and be on stage and play, and offer up my perception of how I view the world, through the songs that I write. But then there's a lot of different things that come with it, and I call them trade-offs. I can't necessarily go downstairs and, like, touch the tree, but I can do a lot of other things."

- Katy Perry discussing fame, RollingStone.com, August 5th, 2014.
