I have to write an article...?

Question

my instructor asked me to write an article for the newspaper, and im packed with projects to do and i won't have the time. if you can at least help me with choosing a topic, then it would make things much more easier. it has to be about teenage problems, but i don't want to write anything about love or smoking..any ideas please?

Answer 1

how about how teens feel peer pressured under friends and other people. i did a report on that once and the teacher loved that topic

good luck

Answer 2

Dear kiwi,  

                                         it was better if you have told  him that i have no time.these days teenagersare less interested in studies and more interested in loitering.  teenagers ,these days,want to be independent , take on  wrong decisions, do not want to follow the guidance of elders.

Answer 3

Stop playing around on the computer and do your homework.

Answer 4

how about the impact that technology has on teens today? lack of communication skills? everything is thru email, texting and phones. feels a little impersonal if you ask me...

but there's also obesity and laziness. nobody wants to walk to school anymore. but then again, there are dangerous people out there....

Answer 5

Here's one:

Growing up in the digital age.

It's a teenage problem in the sense that it will impinge on the adult you will become. As a teenager, I may have done a couple of stupid things, but there's little evidence of it. If there ever were photos, they're lost, thrown out or in a dusty old album. But you're every move, every over-partied evening will have been captured on a dozen digital cameras.

I might still lie to my children "I NEVER behaved like that." without fear of contrediction.

You won't be able to. They'll just say: "I googled your name, Mum, I've seen the photos."

Throw in Andy Wharhol's 15 minutes of fame, and point out that it's now for life if you do anything really foolish.

Might be amusing.

Answer 6

One topic I find particularly interesting regarding teens is the whole social networking phenomena - through YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Maybe you could interview friends and fellow classmates (and/or their parents) about that - how much time they spend online, security concerns and safety tips, etc. There are a lot of articles being written on this topic these days, so that might make it more easier to research. And there are also a lot of different directions you could go, and you could make it as broad or narrow as you want. (See the links below for some ideas.)
