Research Topics

Right now i am considering a few different ideas to which I can use as the topic of my research paper for class.

1) First I was thinking of doing my research essay on the weight problems that teenagers and adults go through today. I would focus on the side of people who constantly think of themselves as overweight when they are not. This is a huge problem among high school women across the world and i think that it would be interesting to cover thier story. There are so many personal stories out there that should be told and i would be able to do that by informing people of the obstacles and overcomings that these people have to go through.

2) A second idea for my project is researching sleep deprivation. There are people in the world who say that you loose a couple of years to your life if you go to bed upset. Personally, i go to bed upset a lot and i am quite curious if this is true or not. There would be a lot of information on the body and how it relates to your emotions. I could provide information to why this happens and use specific cases to back up the information. I think that this would be interesting for not only myself, but other readers, too.

3) Another issue that I would like to learn more about is the increase in teenage sex rates. More specifically i would like to talk about date rape. It is a topic that commonly is avoided by most people until it happens to themseleves or someone that they know. I dont know that much about date rape, but i could learn more about it and then inform other teenagers about the dangers that come with it.

4) A fourth idea that i am considering is researching mental illnesses. Mental illnesses are the most common illnesses in the United States but they are still the least known about. There are many different types of illnesses that could be addressed in my essay. I would like to learn more information to the illnesses and the results that they can cause. This would be able to attract a large audience of people with the purpose of simply informing them of the serious nature of mental illnesses.
