Answer 2

Try going to http://www.speech-topics-help.com/

It helped me out alot!

As a personal idea, I'd do something like animal testing or stop killing the enviornment because there is a LOT of information about these topics online.

Also, if you want to do something very original, do a persuasive speech AGAINST an issue, like a world-wide currency or something.

Personally, I'd stay away from ethical issues. Some of these strong topics could be disturbing to some kids, I've had this problem too. I'm in high school and was going to do a speech on parenting, but chose not to because quite a few of the kids in my class had divorced parents and I felt bad dissing their parents' decision.

Anyway, good luck on your speech, I hope you get a good grade!
