    Homework is a pain in the ***, but it's worth it and the consequences of not doing it are low grades, low self esteem, hating school, angry parents, and awkwardness around teachers. The best thing to do is just DO the homework. Don't try to think, "I shouldn't..." or doubt yourself - just do it! You have to be smart about it, do the homework that is most important first, leave the little things for last, take frequent breaks, no eating while working as it's distracting, NO TV until you are COMPLETELY done.

    To be honest with you... I suggest you think of your own topic. a topic that you want to talk about. Maybe a cause that makes you angry... for me is "The Various Kinds of Pollution" this annoys me because the past generations started this mess (your uncle, dad, grandfather (thier generation started the pollution)) and now this generation, our generation has a terrible future to deal with... Were we the ones who started pouring industrial waste to bodies of water, land or air? Certainly not! We weren't the first ones to throw out garabage on the streets... their generations did... we, our generation thought us this, to pollute. They thought us to do the wrong things... With the global crisis and the weather changes due to Pollution that we have in the environment today, can be the destruction of our future... it can also be the destruction of our future sons or daughters And their sons and daughters... That's not all... even though we see on tevelesions, that there are organization that are trying to change our future, trying to make the pollution go away... it's still not enough. More than 50% of people are still polluting... For what? you may ask... For MONEY!!! for their own living... they don't care... most people doesn't care... you tell them them problem now and say to them that there might be an ice age coming in the next 20 years or so... they won't care they'll just think they will die sooner than that and let us handle it...

    Source(s): I'll stop there, my suggestion is to present what you like to talk about.... hope I help
