Caffeine is not dangerous for you to drink. Caffiene can be healthy in rather small amounts, and as far as I have learned, it has no proven effect as far as stunting growth.
As a child, most kids I know have devoured 2-3 cans of soda a day, and none of them have any growing problems.
The bottom line, two frappiccinos a week is not going to hurt you. If anything, it may help lower your chances of certain cancers, as some recent research suggests.

Thier is nothing in anything any coffee shop sells that will stunt your growth. Period. If you are short it is because you are short or because you need some more time to grow up. BTW, stop drinking coffee at 13, drugs are drugs.

Have you tried the Frappuccinos *blended creme*? (Those do not have coffee in it)
If you like the mocha frapp, get a double chocolate chip frappuccino blended creme.
if you like caramel, ask for the caramel frappuccino but a blended creme version (they should know how to do this)
if you like the caffe vanilla blended coffee, get the vanilla bean instead!
you can also get strawberries and creme frap, blended creme.
Now they have orange creme frap blended creme, tastes like a creamsicle.
Hope this helps any. I doubt you've stunted your growth. =D

One of those daily will NOT stunt your growth. Probably not the healthies thing to drink, but it will not effect how much you grow. Check with your school nurse.

Sure you could do that, and then if you really want to help your body, you could stop drinking them completely, because I have had coffee sometimes, but not all the time, and I am 14, and I haven't had it in forever! Good luck!

Where the heck are you getting the idea that caffeine stunts your growth? You make it sound like it is common knowledge, but I have never heard that.

RELAX.......... you can drink 10 a day! coffee WILL NOT stund your growth! So, drink up and just think about the great growth spurt you will have over the summer.
