There are some very bad things if you drink too many energy drinks especially at the age of 13. I am in the energy drink business. Go to google and search, "dangers of energy drinks"
If I can be of further assistance, let me know.

I think it is great that you care enough to be asking this question.
I use to drink too many ( e.g. 2 per day) cans of Red Bull and similar energy drinks in place of pepsi/coke etc; thinking it was better for me. They are not. caffeine speeds your heart rate up in the same way drinking too many strong coffees do. they are also loaded with sugar so will rot your teeth and give you bad breath vs fruit juices or water.
Take the lead and try a week off them; still to bottled water or fruit juices. I bet your mates will follow suit and believe me your will feel and look much better

Do you mean things like Red Bull? I don't know if they will make you die (definitely do not mix with alcohol or any type of drug) but they are not good for you - what is the point??
For energy, go for a jog, lift some weights get some excercise and eat right. Natural energy is better for you and you will feel better for it.

Energy drinks are loaded with caffeine and that is not good for anyone. If you have a congential defect then a lot of it could definitely cause you a problem. Is it worth taking a chance with your life?

Do you get any sleep at night? They can speed up your heart too much. You should try to cut down and not use them as you're young and should have the energy already.

No. Energy drinks are in the same class as a diet coke or coffee...You should watch your caffiene intake. You will be fine :)

It IS true that they are not good for you---read the LABEL!!!!
At 13, you should have plenty of natural energy to get you through your day anyhow!
