Um, suicide in general is a pretty ethical and moral issue. Teen suicide is just a subcategory, so how would you like to focus on that subtopic. Teens being more or less likely? What influences teens to commit suicide? Effect on families and communities vs. natural death or adult suicide?
And where the hell are you where your final work is due when the rest of us are just starting to go back to school?

You might start by pointing out the human rights violation that is High School.

Well despite that being the most open and rediculous essay topic I've ever heard, it does sound quite easy being that it does lend itself so easy to any interpretation.
If I were you I'd talk about the development of children at younger ages than ever before, and the sheer amount of information being thrown at children and young teens from every direction. Children are forced to grow up too fast and thus a lot of their development ethically or morally (or just plain descision making ability) may not be up to the level that the rest of them is operating at.
This can put extreme amounts of pressure on kids, or convince them that they're not good enough to cope with problems and such.
Thus, teens who grew up too fast and know little ways to deal with problems, hormones, and emotions, are possibly more likely to commit suicide. (You'll need some research here).
Sounds like a pretty moral and ethical issue to me.

I was joking, I know you guys actually do have Christmas, I just didn't know school breaks were set differently in Canada. So you go on break for two weeks, come back for three more, and you're done with that semester?
