When I was 19, I got talked into participating in some financial shenanigans I didn’t understand despite everyone around me telling me it was a bad idea.
The trouble that ensued followed me around for a LONG time. But I suppose I learned some valuable lessons.
I see some parallels between my experience and getting on gear at 19 despite virtually everyone on a fucking forum devoted to steroids saying that it’s a bad idea.
If that doesn’t give the OP some pause, nothing will.
Chances are, there are some life lessons in store for this young man — we can only hope he’ll learn from them, as he’s clearly determined to do what he’s made up his mind to do…
