Why Should Only Seniors Get To Drink Coffee?

Imagine you only slept for 3 hours because you have been writing your EE or studying for your chemistry summative and you come to school feeling exhausted. The only thing you want is a cup of hot coffee. How else are you expected to stay fully awake and focused in your classes for the rest of the day? Unfortunately, this is happening to most of the juniors and some of the sophomores. There too are a number of reasons why sophomores and juniors also have to stay up till midnight doing their homework and or studying for exams. Should the AISG community sell coffee to other high school grades such as the sophomore and junior class?

Of course, drinking coffee might have a deleterious effect on students between ages 15 to 17. It is true that coffee can disrupt processing information when one intakes too much caffeine and might allow students to get less sleep. Despite the fact that, drinking caffeine is bad for teenagers, it has been scientifically proven that it is not good for the children under the age of 12 and recommended that they avoid drinking it.

Why do the majority of the adults keep saying that students cannot drink coffee? It’s obvious that they do not allow us to drink coffee because coffee affects our brains from properly functioning and might prevent us from having the amount of sleep we should normally have. However, regarding all these factors seniors should not be the only ones who can buy a cup of coffee at our school cafe. However, there are more important reasons for consuming caffeine because it also stimulates the central nervous system, causing increased alertness. Many students drink coffee because it gives them a boost in energy and a slight elevation in mood, which eventually helps them to keep focus. Approximately 80 percent of the world’s population consumes caffeinated products every day, including 75 percent of children. Further explaining, research on caffeine has shown that small doses of caffeine can enhance mood and alertness, increase information processing speed, awareness, attention, and reaction time.
