    I think what Micheal Phelps did was wrong because there are a lot of kids from ages 10- 15 that look up to him and now they might do the same things. I think that he should get taken off all his endorsements because he is not the role model kids need. I would tell him that he should think about all the kids who look up to him and take that into consideration before doing something like that. I think he shouldn’t be able to compete in any competitions. Thats all my opinions and thoughts.

    I believe what Micheal Phelps did was totally wrong because he was a role model or a hero for some people. He was someone that little kids wanted to be like when they grew up. Then he totally blew it by doing drugs! I would feel terrible if I did something like that. Not that I ever would, drugs are totally yuckie!!!!!! I think he deserves what he got.

    Being disappointed can be a stron word if you use it in the sense you are. I could not imagine if a friend or family were to tell me they were disappointed in me. It is a very strong and powerful word. I am glad you see it the way you do.

    I once heard this saying “I don’t regret mistakes because then I would never learn from my wrong doings”. Think about that… I think that is kind of what you are trying to say by saying your disappointed but won’t hate him for it.

    Good job! Glad to hear from you.

    i think it is wrong to do drugs that make you build muscle faster it iwrong becasue you get mad easily and there is just no reason to do drugs just to look tough you should work towards your body strength one step at a time.

    I think if guy athletes use drugs and stuff to enhance their ability to do sports is kinda of wrong. Technically you are cheating when you use drugs to do better in the sport you are doing. I think it is very wrong to use drugs to do better in sports. You could get kicked off the team. Why would you want that when you can just be yourself in the sport. Thats what I would want if i did a big sport.

    I think what Michael Phelps did was wrong and totally horrible. Michael Phelps used to be one of my role modles because I am a swimmer like him. Now I feel that I shouldn’t support him any longer because he was caught smoking. I think that Michael Phelps should of been suspended longer than he was because he may do it again. I agree with Darcy..doing drugs to get stronger is a stupid reason although doing drugs for any reason is stupid. Thats what I think!

    I was upset when I heard he used drugs and I thought wow a olympics athlete used drugs. I looked up to him, now I really cant say I do now. he’s made his world his own mess and now he’s going to half to fix it.

  14. youthcoordinator says:

    Great reply Josh. It is hard to look up to someone who has accomplished such great things in life and then ruin them by an act of stupidity.

    Thanks,
    Kayleigh
