How should i start off a persuasive speech on teenage prostitution?

my point of view being that we as a nation should take the initiative to help the victims of their threatening circumstances.How should i start off a persuasive speech on teenage prostitution?
Looka t the people in the room and say ';statistically speaking, four of you in here are teenage prostitutes'; (or whatever the stats support)How should i start off a persuasive speech on teenage prostitution?
First, most definitely, definitely check out this website I'm going to provide. It really touched my heart. I really don't know you should begin your speech, but it'll come to you. Maybe with a fact or a question that really draws in attention. It'll come to you once you have more information to speak upon.





There are so many women/children that are forced into prostitution each year and when caught by authorities they are treated as criminals. What really caught my attention was the point that the justice system failed them. Maybe you could start off your speech by somehow stating how we as a nation depend on the justice system, but for thousands out there (maybe millions) the justice system has turned it's back on them. And it's up to us to do something about it.
mmm, seems a serious topic.





Use statistics





';Every day X amount of teenagers get out of their homes and and average of Y end up prostituting themselves in order to survive.';





Followed by





';This children are faced with violence and sexual transmitted diseases. An X percent of them die of Aids, while an X are killed by their clients.';





Then focus on economics


';Of the ones that survive only X percent go back to school. And Y percent become criminals';.





Try also to have visuals that are very graphical in nature. The objective is to wake up the concience.
do you know where your daughter is tonight?





or your sister





or your cousin





depending on the audience you are talking to.





It will get their attention.





follow up with: hundreds of thousands of parents / siblings do not know and may never find out.





These young girls have been lured into prostitution for any of a dozen reasons, and it is an epidemic that must be stopped, at all costs.





We, as a Nation, owe it to our citizens to fight this stealing of our teenage daughters .....





good luck
Many of those teens are abducted from other countries and forced into the mindset of sexual slavery. There are groups appointed to address this issue. I do not know the names. Local girls are offered shelters and hot lines, but unless they take steps to help themselves, jail or worse is always closing in.
You might want to being up that as minors, these girls are by default victims (of statutory rape) and not criminals.





Good Luck!
write an ancedote. an ancedote is a story, fictional or non fiction. then write your thesis statement.
Maybe make the hook a statistics of how many prostitutes there are.
