The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that energy drinks are not appropriate for children and adolescents, due to the high levels of caffeine and sugar. Children between the ages of 12 and 18 should not consume more than 100 milligrams of caffeine per day.
Caffeine levels in 12-ounce servings
• Soda: 23 to 83 milligrams (mg)
• Green tea: 37 mg
• Black tea: 71 mg
• Coffee: 113 to 247 mg

Large amounts of caffeine can cause the following health issues:

Caffeine and stimulants can worsen anxiety, stress, aggression, depression and lack of sleep causing impaired moods and impulse control. Read labels and know what your kids are drinking.
