Ban the energy drinks on the campuses k-12

The Issue

My  name is Zaleha Togo. I am  from Mali, Africa  and I  am currently a 10th grade student . I really want to talk to you about disallowing high-caffeine energy drinks on K-12 campuses in our city. Energy drinks, often sold as energy donors, have done the opposite of what the companies that create them claim. These can really be fatal for young people. This drink  is like a sweet poison for young people.  I urge you to consider implementing a ban of high-caffeine energy drinks on kindergarten to 12 campuses in New York city. This gesture will show  to the whole world the dedication and concern that the government of  New York City has for the health of its young children, particularly its future leaders .I would really like you to do a few things on this subject which is really close to our hearts because in my science class I learned about the high level of caffeine in energy drinks. These ingredients are not good for the young, especially for everyone . It is very dangerous for young people because it increases the  heart rate level,  increases metabolism and blood pressure. It is really dangerous for our body precisely for our cardiac health. Nowadays many young people suffer from cardiac arrest whereas cardiac arrest is not an illness that we notice in the lives of  young people. Even if the sale of this drink has not been banned to minors that’s fine we will do another campaign for this, but for now, we must ban it on campuses from k to 12.  We need to ban these energy drinks  on our campuses. If we don’t ban it, the students on this campus will believe that it’s completely normal to consume them .Because if we really want it to be banned from the lives of young people we must first start banishing it from campuses. However, I believe that a city-wide ban would send a clear message about our commitment to the health and well-being of our young people.
