12 year olds should have enough energy without needing coffee. If they insist on drinking it, make sure tons of milk and sugar are not added.

Coffee isn't "good" for anyone. I wouldn't have my 12 year old drinking coffee. It's got too much caffeine, it stains your teeth.
If you're referring to those ridiculously high calorie chilled drinks from coffee stands, you're giving you child a very large amount of basically empty calories.
Once in awhile though, why not?

Some coffee can't be bad, but just make sure you are still drinking plenty of milk for calcium and not substituting coffee for it.

Coffee is considered to a food as long as it is served black. When you add milk or creamer to it, it causes an adverse reaction in the stomach which might not be good for a youngster. In moderation, it is probably healthier than sodas.

no, the least coffee will do to a 12 year old is make them hyperactive, coffee at such a young age can cause lots of abnormalties

Coffee in moderation will not have any adverse affects for people of any age.
