1. The causes for road accidents for P-plate drivers (there has been a lot in the media, telegraph ect)
- You may have trouble with your primary info for this one. Not many people like to talk about their car crashes, espetially if they were particularly traumatic. The causes you'll probably find include drink driving, using mobiles while driving, over confident/ under practiced. The question is, would you be able to do much with this information to make your IRP interesting?
2. Youth boredom in the sydney metro (there is nothing for us to do!)
- I like this topic. It's not as done to death as some of the others. You could use a personal reflection and i'm sure you would have easy access to sydney youth. Maybe also go one step further and look at the effect of this (e.g. underage drinking, youth crime- get some statistics to back your work up) but this is up to you.
3. The effects of depression on siblings (for example if a brother or sister has depression what is it like coping if u are their sibling.)
- This topic is a good variation on one's that simply focus on depression. You might want to make sure the topic is not too personal. Also, it may be a sensitive area and i don't know how many ppl would want to talk about being depressed or having a depressed sibling.
You're off to a good start and you seem to have thought these topics through already. Hope this helped, good luck.
