The earth is obviously a bowl, otherwise all of the water would’ve fallen out of the earth.
I dislike the “Homeshooled teens are socially awkward” topic: I believe it is both false, rude, generalized, and not a proper subject for a speech whatsoever. A lot of the topics on this list are immature and shallow. I personally am a 13 year old homeschooling teen and next time I need an idea I will not come here. If you have questions or arguments please feel free to try to prove them….
Clearly you need to get some information on what “argumentative” speech is.
all of these topics sound like old men wrote them

nintendo switch is better than xbox
Clearly the earth is spherical
However, I believe we are on the inside face of the sphere, which means that all these ‘stars’ they talk about are actually the lights on the other side of the world.
And then the moon landings must have been faked.
i believe in the doughnut theory and think the bermuda triangle is the hole in the middle of the earth……..
