Whether it is a Starbucks Frappuccino or a RedBull, caffeine consumption is an increasingly important facet of high school life. 
​
​What was once thought of as a nasty bitter drink, coffee today is popularized and a fond energizer for teens. Cream, sugar and everything in between attracts students and helps keep them going.

A recent poll of about 100 Glenelg students shows that about half of them drink coffee, and about a third consume energy drinks. Studies from the University of Michigan Health Blog found that in 2014 around 73 percent of school-aged students intake caffeine everyday.

When it comes to everyday high school life, it seems as though most students feel as if everyone else is judging them, all the while they are judging everyone else. 
​

Leading up to major school events, such as this weekend's Homecoming Dance, students start to feel even more self conscious about themselves. Questions such as: Is my dress good enough? What if I don’t get a date? and What will people think of the pictures that I post to Instagram? spring into the minds of some students.
