[quote=Anonymous]Whether or not you allow it is your parenting decision, however "caffeine stunts growth" is an old wives tale that has been long debunked. When I was a high schooler, I enjoyed hanging out at coffee shops for the same reasons adults enjoy hanging out at bars...to be social, hang out with friends, and perhaps have a nice drink while doing so--except alcohol is illegal when you are a teen, so instead I drank coffee or hot cocoa or whatever. Sometimes I would have dates with boys at coffee shops, because it was less pressure than going to a movie or getting dinner, and gave you more time to chat and legitimately interact, however it was in public, so things couldn't move too quickly as they could in someone's basement. I also started drinking coffee in high school because I was legitimately tired getting up for school after staying up late to study, do sports, practice my instrument, etc.[/quote]
