Speech!
Ok, what are some good topics to give a speech on that will reach the 'hearts minds and souls of your fellow students'. I'm really tryin to think of a topic that will appeal to ALL of the audience (in this case grades 9 to 12), but I cant seem to think of anything that isnt cliche and I dont want to do that. Does anyone know something? I wont talk about rape or child abuse or something because its not really something direct to reach people with. Or how the media influences kids. They'll all be like 'Uh no, whats that got to do with us?' Do you get what I'm saying? And no one is a rapist or has been raped, so, you know, I want something they'll actually listen to, something actually worth talking about. Please help me!

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
Eating disorders... you can relate this to the media as well, ie glorifying overly thin airbrushed models etc which could contribute to girls feeling they need to look that way.
Another one *could* be affirmative action... giving special priveleges to those of minority races to make up for past greivances... for example, a White person may not be granted admission into a college while an African American of equal ability is, purely because of their race and to make up for how cruelly African Americans were treated before. There are valid arguments both sides, you'd have to decide where you stand on this matter. Although, I'm not sure how relavant this is to the society you live in, so you might want to be careful with this one.
Good luck :D

drunk driving.

Talk about violence in TV, video games, music etc. There's a huge controversy about how it affects kids. The sides are very defined. That's a speech I'd sure get into. Another good idea is fast food. All the gross stuff that happens that people don't really know about. I hope I helped and good luck! <3

How about rock lyrics...for years they have been accused of causing violence, suicides, crime and any other number of stupid things.
The band Judas Priest even went on trial accused in a kids suicide. To dated?
