Coffee - Good or not?

Do you think children/teenagers should be allowed to drink coffee?

I have some bad news - I'm addicted to coffee and now I have headaches if I don't get coffee.

Some of the ppl I know don't drink coffee cos their parents don't allow them to. And now I see why.

But doesn't coffee give you energy so you can perform your jobs properly? Or can it be highly addictive like say, smoking or alcohol? 😕

i really dont know what to say? 😕
i love coffee and cant get up in the morning till i have it.....

Yes, coffee does give you energy because it contains caffeine, which is a stimulant and makes you alert. But, at the same time, it is like a drug (though not as harmful as hard drugs like cocaine, etc.)

I personally avoid it for 2 reasons:

1) Addiction and coffee-headaches like bubble gum mentioned. You can get really grumpy unless you have your first cup in the day.

2) Coffee stains discolour your teeth in the long run 😛

The second reason has a bigger impact on me as I have no intention of visiting dentists! 😆

Cool bubble gum! We are in the same tragedy...only replace coffee with "Tea".. i get dizziness and headache if i don't get 1/2 cup of tea in the morning(only 1/2 cup per day.. thank GOD i have got the limit 😆 )... but there is something i do..i drink 2 glasses of water b4 taking tea and immediately brush my teeth after that, definately to avoid the yellow stains Tanaz mentioned 😆 😉 😉

Coffee's reputation is questioned?

Well, I like coffee but I drink just half a cup each day.

Moderate amount of coffee is not bad but it is bad if it becomes an addiction. coffee contains caffeine which causes serious problems if taken more than a cup a day

coffee is not reali gud coz it containts caffein which is a stimulant ...hence u can understand y children n teenages dont tend to hav it or y parents dont giv it!!!...thank god can u imagin ur house with 2 or 3 teenagers havin coffee all the time!!! lord help the parents!!!! 😆
