[ upbeat music plays ] >> welcome to "teen kids news." i'm livia. let's start with our top story for this week. [ up-tempo music plays ] if you're a sports fan, you know steroids are bad news. superstars like cyclist lance armstrong have fallen into disgrace for cheating with performance-enhancing drugs. but millions of american teens could be using those illegal substances without even knowing it. scott has the story. [ dramatic music plays ] >> let's call him "steve." he agreed to talk with "teen kids news" about the supplements he uses to beef up.

when i was a senior in high school -- 12th grade. >> he's not unusual. it's estimated that more than 12 million middle and high-school students are buying what are called supplements. over several years of bodybuilding, steve has developed a regular regimen of several powders that he feels gives his body a boost. >> after i add the protein, i'll add about a tablespoon of l-glutamine, which is supposed to increase muscle endurance. >> youan they're safe. >> sadly, that's not the case. and why? because these drugs are -- or at least these supplements are unregulated. well, what do i mean by that? there's no agency like the food and drug administration that's checking to see that what's on the label of the container is actually what's in the container. >> experts say that puts people like steve at the mercy of manufacturers, who cheat. >> young people are taking these thinking they're getting just

walking themselves into something they really have no desire to do -- something you got to be very careful about. >> there's one steroid user in every high-school classroom in america. >> educating kids, parents, and coaches about supplements is one goal of the taylor hooton foundation. it's named for a boy who died after using steroids, and it turns out illegal steroids are showing up in supplements. >> there are estimates as high as 25% of those supplements have steroids in them or steroid derivatives in them, and people don't know it. >> but steve knows it. he told us he's well aware that sometimes the government yanks products off store shelves when steroids are discovered inside, and he's not surprised. >> overall, i'm gonna say not really because people are gonna put whatever they want to put in a product. >> steve could be playing with fire. while he says he researches each

always accurate. the bottom line is you could be putting your health on the line. steroids are not only illegal -- they can cause all kinds of problems, from unwanted hair to kidney failure. if you notice changes in your body after taking supplements, that could be a reason to worry. there may be more than protein in that shake. the taylor hooton foundation wants kids to grow and be strong naturally. the message -- if you choose the right foods, you won't need any supplements. >> if you think that careers in science and math are just for guys, my report should change your mind.

>> for centuries, many believed that fields like science and math were beyond the abilities of women. that began changing in the early 1900s, when marie curie won a nobel prize for her work in physics. though she shared the award with her husband, marie went on to

scientist all on her own. in fact, she became the first person, male or female, to win two nobel prizes. fast forward to today -- there's now a major effort to get more students interested in s.t.e.m. -- science, technology, engineering, and math. as part of that effort, nicole reports on a website designed specifically for girls. [ mid-tempo music plays ] >> the website is called forgirlsinscie dr. rita el-khouri is one of some 3,000 female scientists working for l'or?al, the sponsor of the website. so, why don't more girls go into s.t.e.m. careers like science and math? >> i think part of the reason why a lot of girls aren't going into those fields today is because we don't have enough role models and resources that are encouraging and inspiring the youth to be interested in s.t.e.m. fields. that's why, actually, l'or?al usa has created a

explore, discover, and achieve in the great world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or the acronym s.t.e.m. [ majestic music plays ] >> we'll talk more about the site in a few minutes, but first let me tell you about my visit to the new york hall of science. there i met saijah, a high-school senior. she volunteers at the hall as an "explainer."

we need to get you a smock just for safety. >> perfect. matches my shirt. >> it does. [ rock music plays ] so, here's where we're working? >> so, yeah, this is our lab table right here. so, before we begin our really cool experiment, let's put on our gloves and get our materials and meet right back here. [ music continues ] so, now that we have all our materials here, we are going to begin an activity that we have in one of our demonstrations here at the new york hall of science called so, here we have liquid nitrogen, which is one of my favorite substances to use in any demonstration. it actually boils at negative 320 degrees fahrenheit. >> wow. that's cold. >> yeah, it's extremely cold. so once it's in contact with room temperature -- which is about 70 degrees fahrenheit, right? -- it automatically starts to boil. >> you're probably wondering, "why the balloons?" we'll show you when "teen kids news" continues. i didn't know balloons were a

[ upbeat music plays ] [ mid-tempo music plays ] >> we're at the new york hall of science, taking part in a cool chemistry demonstration. the point is to show the effect cold has on the air trapped inside each balloon. >> what's keeping it inflated is its molecules that are inside of it, but let's see what happens to our awesome balloon -- i'm sorry, i'm having so much fun with this. [ giggles ] and we're going to see what happens when we use liquid nitrogen. all right, are you guys ready? >> we're ready. wow! so that's it boiling at room temperature? >> exactly. >> watch carefully, and you'll see how each balloon gets smaller and smaller and smaller. bet you didn't think we could get all three balloons to fit into the pot, did you? but we're not finished. >> now you want to see what happens when take it out of the pot?

table. what do you see? what's happening to it? >> it looks like it's re-inflating to me. >> it's re-inflating. all right, so, can you think of any reason why that may be re-inflating? >> the temperature from the actual outside environment is warmer, so it allows for those molecules to stretch back out and take up more volume. >> rita is exactly right. >> of course she is. after all, dr. el-khouri is a highly trained scientist. so, the first part of the demonstration showed how molele to cold. they can contract so much, in fact, they can change from one form of matter to another. now, the first one we put in here was... >> clear. >> ...clear. >> oh, my gosh! >> to explain it -- so, since it was in there, can you guys see that liquid? >> liquid. >> so, yeah, there's liquid inside of the balloon, and that's just because, like i said, it was in a negative-320-degrees fahrenheit -- the liquid nitrogen's temperature. those molecules get really, really, really, really close together.

>> yeah, exactly. >> so, why is it important for more girls to go into s.t.e.m. fields? >> i think one of the biggest things right now that we need to be aware of is that, within the next 5 to 10 years, the majority of jobs that are going to be available in the market are going to require some level of s.t.e.m. skills. and so it's really critical that we try to fill our pipeline with budding scientists, if you will, so that they can become -- so that we'd be able to fill those needs. otherwise, we're gonna have a problem in the long run. in addition, i think it's really, really cool to have girls in science, period, 'cause we bring a different perspective to it. so...i think that those are the reasons. >> so, what area of science are you most interested in? >> i really, really love chemistry. that's kind of been like my first love. i think, like, ever since i was younger, i would mix things, especially food. 'cause most people don't think that food and cooking and baking is chemistry, but it is. so i think, from there, i love

was younger, so i think chemistry is definitely my first love in science. >> i would say baking is chemistry. cooking is an art. >> that's true. >> that's completely different. >> that's true. [ chuckles ] >> what do you think of the forgirlsinscience website? >> i think forgirlsinscience, the website, it's actually pretty cool. i think it's really helpful. i kind of wish they had it when i was, like, way younger, too. that's, like, amazing. >> it's actually a great space for girls between the ages of 13 and 18, where they can go and tools and resources on the website to help jump-start or even further their interests in s.t.e.m. areas in a non-intimidating way. >> the forgirlsinscience website isn't just loaded with great information. it's also fun. you should check it out. for "teen kids news," i'm nicole.

away.

[ upbeat music plays ] >> this report is brought to you by the national road safety foundation. last week, we showed you what it takes to turn a winning idea into a public service announcement. and now you get to see the finished product. >> pittsburgh, pennsylvania was happy to host this year's sadd stands for... >> students against destructive decisions. [ cheers and applause ] >> chapters from across the country attended, including the members from wheeling park high school in west virginia. they're the winners of this year's driving skills 101 psa contest. >> the national road safety foundation is behind the driving skills 101 contest because students definitely have

it's not enough to just know the rules of the road but to actually have the skill to drive that car on the road. >> the concept of the psa is that the tailgating you see on the road is very similar to the bullying that you see in school. >> action! >> as part of winning the contest, the wheeling students got to work with a professional tv crew from new york. the crew came to the school and shot scenes in the hallway... >> get out of my way, nerd. >> ...and on the road. >> then the crew returned home >> and then waiting, 'cause we were -- when we were finished, i was like, "well, can -- can the production people send us the -- you know, the psa, and they said, "no," we had to wait until the premiere here at the sadd conference. >> i'm really, really excited to see it. i can't wait to see the psa, and, um, a lot of us are actually excited to see it. >> good evening, sadd! [ cheers and applause ]

>> you guys, you've got to do this national road safety foundation competition. now, this is awesome. listen to this. we are gonna show you the winner of this past year's national road safety foundation competition, and i get to have the honor of introducing them. wheeling park high school sadd from west virginia! [ cheers and applause ] stand up. we are gonna share that with you all right here tonight. check it out. [ bell rings ] [ indistinct chatter ] ?? >> hey, what's up, loser? >> bullies. >> get out of the way, nerd. >> they're in school. >> get out of the way, nerd. >> and they're also on the road.

>> especially when they tailgate. here, a sudden stop is no big deal. >> seriously?! >> come on! >> but on the road, tailgating can be deadly. [ tires squeal ] rear-end collisions cause approximately 2,000 deaths per year. don't learn by accident. give yourself a safety cushion. a message from the wheeling park high school sadd chapter and the national road safety foundation. >> seeing it on the big screen was the most amazing thing ever, because you never think something that, like, a small town can do is gonna become big. and, like, everyone's gonna see it, so it's pretty awesome. >> it was great. it was actually better than i thought it was gonna be. [ laughs ] all the hard work definitely paid off. >> the message we were trying to get across is that bullying's not okay, whether it be on the road or in school. and i think our psa did a great

the kids did a great job. the idea came together. it looked great. >> i think this psa won our attention because it had a comparison that covers more than one topic. that comparison was tailgating, and then it was also the bullying, which are both very prevalent in schools. but we wanted to really bring that together and bring it to life, and i think the kids did a really great job at it. >> if you're a member of sadd and would like to find out how check out teenlane.org. and for updates on other nrsf contests, like them on facebook. for "teen kids news," i'm nicole. >> coming up, a recipe for a breakfast meal that's easy to make... >> and really great to eat. >> ...when "teen kids news"

>> they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. now you can also make it one of

christina finds out how. >> i'm in the kitchen with k. lee graham, miss teen usa 2014. hi, k. lee. >> hi. how are you today? >> i'm good. how are you? >> i'm great. today we're gonna be making one of my favorite breakfast recipes, an apple oatmeal bowl. so it's a great breakfast twist on your classic, like, bread and soup bowl, and we're gonna start with our apple. could you please wash this for me? and this is gonna be our "bowl" that we're gonna have. all right, so, got our apple. in half. okay. >> so then the apple is what makes up the bowl. >> that's right. and it's so simple. but a lot of people like baked fruit and different baked apple pie kind of things, and this is kind of a variation of that. so, we're gonna scoop out the center and the core. i just cut it in half, and we're just gonna go with the spoon. >> so, how much do you scoop out

part, so i just scoop out enough for the seeds and also enough to give me room to put in some oatmeal. and there goes the middle. so, i've got this one. this one's a little more shallow. and you can see we've still got tons of fruit there. >> okay, so it's about an inch deep? >> yeah, probably about that. and then this one we're gonna scoop out, as well. >> and then, to cut out the core, you can just use any spoon that's available to you? >> yeah, it just -- as long as you get some good [chuckles] force behind it. can use a knife, but i would recommend a spoon just so it's safer and it's easier. >> yeah, well, it makes a nice indent. >> right. so, we're just gonna plate this, and we're gonna sprinkle on some cinnamon and also drizzle some honey, give it a little sweetness. and cinnamon's so great. it's one of my favorites. it's good for your metabolism, and it makes everything taste better. >> i know. i love the taste of cinnamon. >> mmm! just gonna drizzle on this honey. >> that looks so good. >> ahh! i love it. and we're gonna pop this in the

a half to two minutes, depending on your microwave -- just as long as the apple's nice and tender. >> okay. >> so we're just gonna scoot back here. >> sounds good. >> and i'm gonna put this in -- i'm gonna go for a minute and 45 seconds with this. >> okay. >> and we'll test it out, and we'll see. [ microwave beeps, running ] all right, and while that's cooking, we're gonna prepare our oatmeal that is gonna fill our bowl. so, we've got our steel-cut oats right here. i've got just less than 1/2 cup. and we're just gonna add the water. mm. >> so, how much water do i put >> i think is like 3/4 cup. you can just follow the instructions on the packaging of the oatmeal or you can play around with variations. >> okay. >> i like a little bit less water 'cause it makes it a little more hearty. >> so, i do everything that's in here? >> yes, everything that's in here. >> sounds good. >> and then this will go into the microwave right after our apple. >> okay, wow. so easy. >> i know. [ microwave beeping ] all right, so, we're gonna check

[ apple sizzling ] it's kind of fizzing from all of the honey. and we're just gonna replace our oatmeal into the microwave. i'm gonna go for two minutes and keep an eye on that. so, as you can see, our apples got all of the honey and liquid in it. >> it smells great. >> yeah, it's one of my favorite things ever. >> really sweet. >> and we're just gonna drain some careful -- the apples are really hot. now, our next step -- we're gonna add the peanut butter to the apple bowl, which is one of my favorite things in the entire world. >> mine too. >> so we've got our organic peanut butter here. >> okay. >> we're just gonna scoop some of that and add a little layer to the bottom before we put in our oatmeal, so right in this indentation. >> okay, so, just to layer the very bottom part. >> right. it just gives it, you know, that nice little flavor that you

breakfast, because a well-balanced breakfast is one of the key things in a healthy diet. >> you need the protein to keep you going all day. >> so this has got our protein. we got our peanut butter in there, and now we just need to wait for our oatmeal to finish. >> awesome. i'm so excited. >> so, our oatmeal is done. i'm just gonna take it out with our oven mitt. and we'll be ready. we're going apple bowl. this is gonna be our filling. >> okay. >> we're just gonna scoop it right in. >> oh, wow. that works so well. >> yeah, it just -- it's the perfect little bowl, and it's -- for me, i think this is a great recipe for if you're doing a girls' brunch or anything, if you just need a good healthy snack, and it looks so cute. so, we're gonna top this with some cinnamon. >> okay. >> and also some chopped walnuts we have today, but you can also

strawberries -- really anything that you like -- if you want to do some chocolate chips even. >> ooh! you can get so creative. >> yeah, so creative. and we're just gonna top those, and now it's ready to eat, so we can dig right in. >> wow. >> [ laughing ] you might need some knives for this, though. [ both laugh ] perfect. >> there you go. >> it's still a little hard to eat. but the apple's nice and -- >> oh, wow, the apple is so soft. >> mm-hmm. microwave, so you can make it in your dorm room, if you're just hanging around the house -- no time commitment, just fast and easy. >> oh, my gosh. that's amazing. >> mm-hmm. >> apple and peanut butter never tasted better. to get the recipe, visit our website. for "teen kids news," i'm christina. >> that sure looks delicious. for all of us here at "teen kids news," have a great
