Speaking Competition Theme http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/off-topic/threads/49799 ABC Destiny There's this competition and I might be representing my school I case anyone doesn't know what it's about: It's a competition where we go on stage and give a speech (well, not really formal kind) on things... Life, teens or whatever except sensitive issues... I would want suggestions on what to speak about... It must be something relevant to teenage life, and close to heart... (something like inner beauty or self-confidence) So... anyone wanna lend me some hands? Please and thanks~ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:57:20 -0800 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/off-topic/threads/49799?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1109108 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/off-topic/threads/49799?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1109108 Itzika Does queerness count as a "sensitive issue"? Because that would be what I would talk about.

Whatever side it's a sensitive issue.

When I was still at school we once visited one of those. There's one topic I remember someone talked about that had quite an impact on the audience: femal genital mutilation. I don't know if that's still a big issue or not but it sure is a difficult but important topic.

Even those who aren't queer themselves are going to encounter queerness at some point, and many will react badly because they don't know any better. And many of those people are going to end up discovering they're queer themselves. Questioning and coming out is *very* relevant to a typical teenage life.
