Neither steroids nor HGH is recommended for body building. These are strong hormones that can have significant side effects. Yes, people use them frequently (and illegally), but the side effects can outweigh the benefits. For this reason, you are unlikely to have any legitimate doctor prescribe the HGH for you, unless you have a specific problem requiring treatment with it. At your age, it will not help you grow any taller, but it could cause changes in your face. arms, and feet that are unpleasant. Hope this helps.
