Ideas on a weird, interesting, not-original persuasive speech topic?

[Krystal]

hello! I'm looking for a speech topic (7 minutes to talk on) that is a problem-solving persuasive speech. Meaning, the topic has to be 1. a real problem and it has to affect the audience (i persuade the audience it is a real problem & that it concerns them), 2. solutions are reasonable, and 3. the audience should take specific action.

I really don't want to do a speech on the norm..like AIDS, or stds, or obesity, or you know stuff like ordinary things. It needs to be something out of the box, a real problem but something fun, interesting, cool? It has to be like BOOM, as if your eye's will pop out. To give you a basis from where I was thinking of possible topics, i was looking at test tube babies, or human cloning, or the end of the world-that kind. BUT! the huge problem is I don't know what the problem would be concerning those topics? And what about solutions? Like for the end of the world? It has to be logical, yet a proposition of policy.

i would really really REALLLLY appreciate ANY of your cool ideas!! and remember the weirder the better!

Are aliens real?
Is a zombie apocalypse possible? (I actually found info on this topic)
Does the lack of a father figure lead to a higher likely hood of serial killing? (I'm sure there could be plenty of things that could possibly lead to a higher likely hood of this)

My boyfriend said he wanted to kill me and him.

I'm dating this guy named Kale right now. He's 21, I'm 16. He's a "super senior" at school, and he's incredibly gorgeous. He's not really friends with anyone at school besides me. We've been dating for a year and we're practically the same person. I've even started to develop his english accent. He's got an abusive father, and he's addicted to a lot of drugs. He's been showing me more and more how dumb the people I used to hang out with are. I used to be shallow, but he turned me into a deep person. He's so depressed though. He's been saying lately that we should kill ourselves together. He says that we'll meet in Hell and spend our death together lol I dunno though, I love him so much... but I'm not sure I'm ready to give up my life for him like that. Any advice?
And he's never abused me in any way. I know how crazy I sound, but I love him so much.

I know I made my bed so lie in it, so no reason stating the obvious. I had a mistress for 2 years and she called and told my wife when I finally told her I would never leave my wife for her. My wife and I stayed together and trying to work it out. Now the mistress is threatening to give some info that she held back like my mistress and I having sex in our marital bed and our sexual activities which I feel is embarrasing. I think the wife may try to forgive, only because she kind of has low self esteem, but not entirely sure what she will do. My question is what do I do with my X mistress go back to her to keep her quiet?

I have been with her 2 years she knows where I live and work and contacting my wife twice to disclose information is not a crime.

She is blackmailing for us to get back together not for money. The additional info she has is damning and embarrassing. It includes a video I made of myself.

Wow. A lot of this makes me feel sorry for the X mistress. She is hurting too. I realize I did string her along with pretenses of me leaving my wife. I really thought I would, but changed my mind.
