Is it bad for a 13-year old to...?

Question

drink coffee?

I'm 13, and my parents let me drink it, and alot of my friends drink it too. One of my teachers even lets us have some of his coffee when we're good. I really love it. I love Starbucks too. They have the best coffee. Hahah I sound like a grown up dude. xDD

Is that bad though?

Answer 1

No its not bad at all

they say it stunts your growth but I'm 6'3" and I've been drinkin' since ten!

Answer 2

How refreshing to have a young lady on here that not only admits her age, but acts it. Well done Poppet!

Coffee contains caffeine which if drank in large quantities can cause you to have disturbed sleep,anxiety and even withdrawal symptoms.

Though I wouldn't worry too much the odd cup a Day won't harm you. God Bless Sweetheart.x

Answer 3

Yes it's bad.  It's addiction forming.  Coffee stains teeth, and is proven (science) to be a drug to the brain (creativity).  It's just a widely, society accepted drug.

As long as you dont smoke crack

Answer 16

i heard it stunts your growth

but idk if thats true

Answer 17

caffeine is a drug...it is bad.  A sip is okay, but try ordering decaf.

Answer 18

Probably not the best thing for anybody, permanent high blood pressure is never a good thing.

Plus what a waste of money. Coffee is gross.  

Answer 19

BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH your teeth at least four times a day.  Trust me on this one.  Coffee and Tea stain your teeth worse than anything.  Use whitening strips also.  I've been drinking coffee since the 70's when I was little, about nine or ten.  I stopped growing at 6 ft so I don't think it stunts growth.  But if you don't keep your teeth clean, they will stain badly.  

Answer 20

i've been drinking coffee since i was 12, and i drink about three cups a day now and i'm 15. i don't think there's anything wrong with it. the whole stunting your growth thing isn't true, i'm really short but i know people who drink way more of it than i do and it just doesn't seem to have any effect. yeah it can yellow your teeth, but so can smoking. and talk about unhealthy.

i say just do what you want to, drink what you want to. i live in utah, where 2/3rds of the population pretty much thinks that drinking coffee is a sin. so i've heard this all before, too. i would say drink what you'd like to. life's too short not to enjoy coffee.

way better than alcohol, too.

Answer 21

i drink a lot of coffee. it's fine (:

Answer 22

I love coffee!...so drink it whenver u want..cuz i drink coffee...if i feel like it..hehe...-_^

Answer 23

Don drink too much, honey :]

I hate coffee :PP
