I was bored so I googled teen and controversies. (our topic for the week) I found teen pregnancy, curfews, Elizabeth Smart, cosmetic surgery, addictions, Barbie, alcohol and a teen who hit a burglar with a bat along with many more topics. I can definitely see the controversy in these topics. Some of these topics are a bit more serious then others but not unexpected. I can imagine that a teen would have a good argument on either side of these controversial topics. Teens (and adults) love controversies and drama. These are great topics to read about. Teens also seem to be fascinated by urban lifestyles, maybe because they are so different then their own lives (or so similar). Or perhaps these lives are just interesting.
