What are preteens interested in?
I help run a girls night out program for a YMCA. The age group I will be working with is 11-14 year olds. I need some new topics for discussion. Our past topics include: friendship, respect, integrity, nutrition, and hygiene. Any ideas on new topics? Would internet safety be good?

They’re probably pretty interested in shopping, so being responsible with money might be a good topic too.
Maybe explain advertising gimmicks and the ways the stores are set-up to trick you into thinking you’re getting bargains where you’re not.
Internet safety is definitely important this day and age.

Preteens are most interested in becoming teenagers. Don’t do anything to encourage them. Stay away from clothes and makeup. On the other hand, now is the time for them to learn about peer pressure. What would they do if asked to do something wrong by a friend ? who do you turn to if a friend has a problem with drugs or an eating disorder? Also, they are probably about to enter the world of shopping on their own. Teach them to read ads, compare prices,budget and set priorities. For fun, cooking and some kind of craft.
