Coffee does stunt your growth. My 6th grade teacher started drinking coffee allll the time in 8th grade/9th grade, and ever since then she's been the same hieght. I think its true, but others may think its a myth.

The coffee doesnt make you shorter but too much caffeen will. I know it sucks. Usually the difference is like a fraction of an inch though so it doesnt really matter. But if your going for that extra inch, i wouldnt suggest 5 red bulls a day...

There are actually over 400 chemical substances in coffee, many of which have unknown effects on people. So while it is probably an old wives tale, many times there is a bit of truth to them.

coffee just stunts certain aspects of your growth. at this point there is no known way of stopping growing.
and the only things that effect your growth are bad for you in many ways, and therefore not recommended

That's a myth..parents told us it would stunt our growth so we wouldn't drink it.
