These kids aren’t kids anymore. The parents allow them to be mini adults it’s why this generation has the worst mental health out of all generations

It’s so ridiculous that parents just let their kids GUZZLE caffeine. We judge parents who let their kids drink a ton of soda but not energy drinks?? Also a SURPRISING amount of children have underlying heart conditions that haven’t been noticed yet

I feel there needs to be a law passed where companies can’t advertise towards kids, that’s why all the fruity flavours and super colour cans are so popular now

I’m an adult and don’t even drink that crap. Those parents need charges against them.

Because parents are now their besties and friends. They wanna be the cool moms and let their kids grow up way too fast.

I gave one to my 12 year old daughter. She thought it was like Poppi. It scared her because her heart started racing and she didn’t even finish it. It was something I feel bad about. I didn’t check the label. Hard lesson learned.

I drank hella caffeine when I was a teenager .. they also have it accessible at schools typically .. and I think as long as they’re not overdoing it they’ll be fine. Same goes with alcohol..

Let’s not act like middle schoolers weren’t pulling up with monsters and red bulls growing up or soda when it had caffeine in it
