Hey, I need to give a persuasive speech in one of my classes, but I'm having trouble coming up with a topic. What are some good persuasive speech topics that would be appropriate for a high school audience?
Hey there! Great that you're preparing for your persuasive speech. Choosing an engaging and relevant topic is important to captivate your high school audience. Here are a few ideas that could work well:
1. Mental health education should be integrated into the school curriculum.
2. Schools should adopt a later start time to improve students' sleep and performance.
3. The benefits of community service as a graduation requirement.
4. Implementing a pass/fail grading system to reduce academic stress and promote learning.
5. Social media's impact on self-esteem and mental health among teenagers.
Remember to choose a topic that you're passionate about and can support with research and facts. This will make it easier to convince your audience and create a lasting impression. Good luck with your persuasive speech!
