Does this sound like an interesting documentary topic?

Before you mention it, I do know I should shoot something I am interested in but I am more in favor of the interest of my audience. It's something I'm hoping to accomplish by the end of the school to present to my high school.
I want to choose a topic that teenagers can relate to and will actually enjoy watching.
I was thinking about maybe teen love, it's got to do with meeting your first love, your first heartbreak, first kiss and all that.
Or I could go into society's pressure on having a perfect body and how it effects teens everywhere.
What do you think? Any ideas?

A real documentary has significant and in-depth analysis and portrayal of hidden aspects of society, to highlight problems, and to expose viewers to these problems/events.

The documentary doesn't have to carry a particular sentiment, or opinion, but it should allow the viewer to form their own subjective interpretation of what's being shown - the portrayal of reality, with various perspectives.

If you want to make something teens enjoy watching, you might as well make a teen love drama, and that's not a documentary any more.

Choose a topic that would provoke thought and discussion, with real social values, please, please, stuff like Twilight doesn't even register as a proper film, let alone anywhere near a documentary.
