Name Time 11/9

Things are starting to come together! We've got a whole lot of footage, some fantastic interviews and all sorts of good ideas floating around.

Now we really need a name... not only so we can start to tell people about what we're up to, but so some of us can start work on making the opening and closing credits.

Here are a few ideas.

The Great Teen Whinge Off

Ok, welcome back folks, it's time for another discussion and vote.

So, we've decided on our topic for our documentary. We're going to answer the question:

WHO HAS IT TOUGHER, TEENAGE BOYS OR TEENAGE GIRLS?

We're going to make it in an episodic structure of four or five episodes. Each one will look at one issue or problem that teen boys and girls deal with, and explore which gender has a harder time as a result of it.


Ok, So we have our four episodes.

• Addiction and drugs
• Depression
• Diet, obesity and anorexia
• Fashion, peer-pressure and money

Now we need to define these problems. I need you to write on here a definition of each of these and a description on what the problem is as it faces teenagers. Each person can choose one that they know a bit about and write something down. We will get a range of descriptions, and then bring them together into something we'll be able to use in our documentary, maybe as the voice over at the start.

So,choose one, think about what the problems is, think about how this might be a problem differently for boys and girl and get writing.

At the bottom of the page is a link to a letter template, you can send it to people to ask for help.
