i was just wondering if caffine was harmfull for children under 10 , and also if it can cause long term damage , i say this because i have been drinking caffine for about 14 years , i am now 18 and caffine has always been a part of my everyday life wheather it be cola, tea , or just the old cuppa coffee , from what i can remember my parents never disoloud me to drink caffine as a child , growing up in my teen years i have found myself to be very very agressive with people and family could it be the result of caffine abuse ?
 
Interesting.
I myself have been drinking coffie since i was seven yeard old (really) and i have continued doing so ever since. Im now 26 years old.
As far as i know caffein has not affected me physically in any way. I have allways been healthy and i allways pass my medical exams with no problems what so ever.
I have however had a big problem with my temperament. I used to be extremly agressive and do all kinds of shit. I went to counceling from the age of 11-13 to try and sort me out with no results.
The stupid fucks even gave me drugs that gave me severe side effects and did little to calm me down.
After the age of 17 i started to get my shit straight. I had the occacional outburst of rage but nothing to serious. After that everything went like a dream.
Nowdays im as calm as ice and it takes ALOT to piss me off.
I have no idea if coffie had anything to do with my agression but i seriously doubt it. I still wonder why i was so fucked up as a kid seeing as i had everything i could have ever wanted.
My former shrink told he tought it was my hormones that went beserk. Apparently some people get get that way come puberty.
Still interesting tough that we both where/are agressive and we both are caffeine addicts :)

I had what they thought was bi-polar disorder as a teen (later turned out to be seasonal affective disorder) and my doctor told me to stay away from caffeine because it would only make me more aggressive and anxious. I noticed when I stopped drinking so much coca cola (used to drink about 8 cans a day) my moods really did improve.
 
Does bi-polar disorder and seasonal affective disorder "cure" itself after enough years?
I never got diagnosed with anything but one can never be sure.
 
Its supposed to stunt growth in children, but that might just be a rumor... Caffiene while pregnant will stunt growth, even nueronal growth, however.. Caffiene seems to be a drug that many pregnant mothers ignore.. It also is passed thru breast milk.
