My suggestion is to write about Sub-Saharan Africa. They practice female circumcision, and I'll spare you the details here but the girls want to do it and the women think it's right. It's a form of social puberty. It might spark a bit of activism in your school.
You could start with Daniel Gordon's article Female Circumcision in Egypt and Sudan: A Controversial Rite of Passage.
Or if you wanted to not have to disassociate yourself, you could research baseball magic. Baseball players do all kinds of things to ensure that they will do well. Sometimes it's gross like wearing the same jock strap all through a winning season. Or eating a tuna fish sandwich for lunch on a pitching day.
A great article on that is Baseball Magic by George Gmelch.

This is a great assignment for you. Good luck with it!

I live a few miles away from Dillsburg, Pa. Every New Years Eve they drop a huge dill pickle. NY has the ball, Dillsburg has a big pickle.Many people gather in town to and wait for midnight to see the big pickle drop. They freeze there toes and cheeks waiting in the crowd for the big pickle to drop.

Try female circumcision in Africa and the Middle East, http://www.care.org/newsroom/specialreports/fgc/index.asp?source=170740380000&WT.srch=1

Or how about the rituals of jumping in to gang life here in America. Beatings for guys and beatings and gang sex for girls.

Both of these should give you enough ammo for many papers!
