Teenager on caffeine (coffee): is it safe?
Alexa Gray asked:
I'm 17 years old and I'm not addicted to caffeine.
I don't drink coffee in the afternoon or the evening.
But lately, I have been drinking coffee for 6 mornings a week for 3 weeks so as to stay awake when attending my 7:30am classes.
I can't help but doze off no matter how much sleep I get at night.
I only use about half a teaspoon of powdered coffee a day and it's enough for me to last the morning. I plan on doing this for the rest of the semester (about 3 and 1/2 months).

My question is, is it safe and will it not greatly affect my health in the future? I'm not feeling any bad side-effects at the moment (dizziness, headaches, etc.)
Thanks! Ü

Just don't drink it after noon and you'll be fine. If you do, it'll hurt your sleep rhythm well into adulthood.
you should be fine! A cup of coffee everyday is proven to be good for your health!

No it won't hurt you but tea is better =)
