#3. Energy Drinks. Are they all the rage at your school? I have seen kids say they’d never touch soda because it’s so harmful, while they chug an energy drink! (not making that up at all!) Is this a topic your school newspaper, tv show, online production, etc has dug into? If not, perhaps it is time.
