Is coffee really that bad for young kids?!
Answers:
I don't think that coffee, per se, is the problem that is dangerous for kids. Becoming addicted to the caffeine, and depending on it to keep you awake in class or get you going in the morning is the danger. It is not a good habit for adults to get into, either, but I think teens are especially vulnerable to the dangers of caffeine addiction. As a teen, your sleep cycles are not always in sync with the adults around you and your school schedule. It is easy to become dependent on caffeine to get you moving and keep you awake, when you may rather be sleeping in your bed! It becomes a crutch, and then an addiction. Too much caffeine can affect your heart, it can affect your skin, coffee stains your teeth, the cream has fat/calories that are empty (as does sugar, if you use it!). If you like the taste and that is your reason for drinking it, switch to decaf coffee.
