Well, here are a few:\n1) You are trying to regulate the American family.  What's next, taking away their TV, their car and the rest of their rights?\n2) Most kids will grow out of it as hormones kick in during adolescence.  [Not really true, and the damage is happening already - I didn't say it was a GOOD argument.]  :o)\n3) When the parents can't prevent obesity in themselves, what makes you think they will be able to do it for their kids?  If they have no self-control, or poor habits, the kids will just follow along.\n4) The problem is not with the parents but with the media, which pushes fast-food in commercials right and left.  Get rid of the commercials and ads, and the parents won't need to do anything.\n\nIf would help your cause if you could find facts to support these.  However, given that they are pretty weak, you may just have to go on your persuasiveness alone.\n\nGood luck!

A persuasive speech is one in which you try to convince your audience of something (or not).  You should pick a topic that both interests you and about which you have an opinion.  For example, in my undergrad speech class, I taught guys how to dress themselves, since first impressions are a big thing to me.  The website I've included below gives a really good list of topics that might spark your interest.

If it proves to be true, assuming we're talking about a reasonably short time-frame here, then you're probably okay.  It also depends on "how" you say what you say.  The facts are one thing, but if you selected a hurtful way of conveying the message, it could be viewed as an unjustified verbal assault - and depending on the circumstances, that could be actionable.

Miss Sleepy One...\n\nWhile I cannot give a complete dissertation, maybe an idea such as how important tonal inflection and facial expression is for communication vs. just the printed word; where these characteristics need to be assumed, or the sentence constructed well enough for them to be "understood".\n\nThat is why it is difficult for some to deceive the sighted, easier to fool the blind that can hear, easier to fool the deaf and blind... (The ones that can read Braille) and the written word can deceive most of all.\n\nJust remember, you will need 100 - 150 words per minute depending on your speed of speech.

When we put forth our answers with conviction & sincerity it helps , but remember our past impressions (record) plays a big role convince a person . also remember when you promise some thing to some one you are doubting your own capability to stand true to your word.Your words should make others take your statements on face value ( no pleading no begging) it is a long and tiresome path which you and your dear & near ones both have to walk on. for that is COMPATIBILITY in it's true & genuien form,which needs no explanation or convincing.
