I need to write a paper on a teen issue, what do you recommend?

Write about your experience writing the paper. From analyzing the assignment and understanding all the requirements, to being forced to buy pens and special paper (finding a computer to use), to sitting down to write only to find your little brother being to noisy so you had to go to the library, then you get thirsty, then you notice your rear-end is getting sore from sitting in this library chair for so long, counting the words/pages, all the way down to the last period.  Writing papers is a huge teen issue.

Know your subject well, and do your research. Use good mechanics. Make certain that your paper is easily read by others. Also, make sure you don't make any "leaps" in the paper; let it flow. Check spelling, grammar, punctuation.

Assuming that you yourself are in middle or high school, you could interview or survey your classmates to see how much they know about certain Middle Eastern issues. I think you should also maybe focus more on how much teenagers are misinformed rather than not caring.

Talk about how it has always been around but the incidence -especially among teens has skyrocketed over the past 15-20 years. When you start a paper you always want to make a case for why it's important and why you chose the subject.

For a school newspaper, website? Or do you want to become an advice columnist for a magazine?\n\nFirst, think what makes you qualified to respond to the problems you'll be confronted with. This doesn't have to be a degree in Psychology - you could have a lot of life experience ;-)\nSecond, what market are you planning to write for: teens, children, adults? Males and females? \nWhat do you plan to give advice about? Personal matters, style, sports, cooking?\n\nOnce you have that sorted out you can begin to position yourself and explore how best to reach your audience.

I am a high school student and this is what has worked for me when writing a research paper.  You have them start out with a very broad question ex. What is something that has affected your life and or the world. You have them make a list of answers to the question that you give them, most of the time when you do something like that your students will find one thing that they are interested in and will write about.  For references you have them do simple assignments that go along with the paper to help them complete it.  For sources, have them go and check out a non-fiction book from the library an their topic, it really comes in handy, other then that they can use any book, that is non-fiction preferably you really don't want them writing a research paper with a fiction book, you can also tell them to use the Internet, show them how to use a search engine effectively, and if they are using Internet sources tell them to make sure that the site they are using are creditable, and that they site all of their sources.

People have given you specific ideas.  The point is to find something controversial.  I find it best if I select something I feel strongly about and then argue from the opposite side of the issue.  I learn more and I have less tendency to allow my emotions to cloud the paper.\n\nGood Luck on your final.

What about a persuasive essay on guns and teen violence.

One of the other answers hinted at the key: start general....what is the broad topic you want to write about (e.g., academic achievement, drug abuse, accounting scandals) and then get more specific (e.g., racial differences in academic achievement, social causes of drug abuse, ways to avert accounting scandals), and then even more specific.....but start general, then get specific.
