Moral Issue for a school project for two 14 year old girls?

Question

i need a moral issue for a school project im doing with my friend. we were going to do about the perception of beauty , body image and what lengths people go to to get the perfect look, but my tutor mentioned she was doing a similar thing in our next lesson so now we're a little unsure ( even though we were really proud of that idea). We want an original idea and hopefully one that will relate to our age group. Most people are doing about animal cruelty , etc.. but it seems obvious and pretty lazy. So yeah, do you have any ideas for a moral issue, preferably relatable? Thank you.

How about the issue of cheating and/or plagiarism?  Some students will stop at nothing to get good grades.  Plagiarism is rampant in colleges, high schools and even middle schools.  
Definitely go to your school or public library to get good resources on whatever topic you choose.

How about doing something close to your original plan?  Instead of the lengths people go to get the certain look, what about doing a project about the truth/lies in advertising?  After all, all the pictures on magazine covers of beautiful people are altered, in some cases to the extreme.  So, it can be argued that it is false advertising.

Also, another idea is the morals that people express in reality tv shows, and why people are obsessed with them.  Is Snooki really crazy in real life for example?  Do the Kardashians have questionable morals in real life etc...  There are a lot of things you could do your project on.

Good luck with your project.
