Good salutation or greeting for my speech?

[noodleslover]

For my english class i have to wright and recite a speech about something to incite reflection and awareness on a particular issue. I chose to do it on suicide/bullying I am in the tenth grade and I need a good way to begin my speech I don't want something typical! I'll be using a sad tone during the speech... If you have any ideas you can also put them!
Thank you
