No, it's just what parents tell their kids so they won't be bouncing off of walls & becoming hyperactive.

Caffeine from any source suppresses appetite thereby not allowing the "user" to get all the nutrition he/she may otherwise. Without the added nutrition, growth may slow. Drink milk instead if you want to grow taller. Cow's milk has been proven to stimulate growth.

I only heard that caffeine gives you a buzz, but I highly doubt it will affect your growth. Everyone is different with their personal growth, so don't let it bother you if you are short or tall.

No, but it has been known to impair spelling.
Seriously, I believe that myth arose during the great Depression when coffee was just too expensive to share with children any more.

no, I doubt it. Caffeine isn't necessarily good for growth, but I highly doubt that it can stop it.
