How can I better a school club for teenagers to express their opinions?
I am in the process of starting an organization at my high school called "Teens Speaking Out" or TSO. I have already cleared the idea with the principal but I actually need help setting the organization up.
I am setting this club up to give us teens a voice in the local community. I know teens need to focus more about real-life problems sometimes and I feel like this is a great way to get the facts and express opinions without feeling belittled. Basically the club is informational coupled with a way that we can feel included in "adult" problems and world-wide situations. I know we're not going to solve any major problems and create world-peace, but I am hoping that a few good ideas can come of it to help out in the community. I really think this is a great idea for a school club!
Subjects we are focusing on will be:
The 2008 Presidential Elections
School dress code
School drug testing
The increasing amount of teenage pregnancy
Genocide in Darfur
HIV/AIDs in Africa
What are ways to make my "Teens Speaking Out" club better? Can anyone think of any other subjects we should be focusing on?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
i have something similar to that at my school but we call it "teen outreach program" or "TOPs" we have people in our communitty come in every few weeks or so to tell real life situations we then discuss how we can prevent those things from happening to us and to others around us....we also do community service around our town for free its our way to help others we also give out flyers on teen pregnancy and on drug abuse we watch some of the videos on youtube about this awareness and we make posters and set them up around our town there are alot of things we do to reach out to people in our community
