Junior Debate Book 01
Let’s meet Harry!
Harry is in second grade in middle school. His school allows

all kinds of food to be brought to school. The school sells pizza,
burgers, and fries in the cafeteria. There are vending machines all
over the school. It’s so easy for Harry to get a candy bar or a bag
of chips when he feels like it. Harry also loves drinking soda. He
doesn’t have to go far to get a can. Do you think Harry could grow
up as a healthy boy?

Lesson 01
Should junk food be

LET THE DEBATE BEGIN!!!
Go Sally!
I agree.
I don’t want junk food in my school. It’s not good for my

health. This kind of food contains too much fat and sugar.
I don’t want to get addicted to the wrong kind of food.
Our schools should not only be about numbers, theories,
history and language. We must also be educated about life.
The school must set a good example so that kids will go
down the right path.
“ Go Rob!
I agree.
Being overweight is a real problem. There are so many

kinds of food that are so delicious but are really bad for
our bodies. It’s not easy to control our appetite especially
at this age. As students, we spend most of our days in
school. If junk food is readily available there, it would be
much more difficult to stick to a proper diet. Young people
may be suffering from obesity before they know it.

Lesson 01
Should junk food be
banned in schools?
Go Wendy!
I disagree.
Being students, we receive a limited amount of pocket

money. Junk food is cheap and affordable. We need
something that we can afford when we’re feeling hungry
in school. If we can’t buy the food because we don’t have
enough money, we might end up suffering more during the
day. It’s impossible to learn on an empty stomach.
“ Go John!
I disagree.
If you ban junk food in schools, I guarantee that kids

would want it more. Junk food would seem more
appetizing just because someone is forbidding it. If the
school doesn’t give it much attention, kids would just
choose for themselves. They already know the bad
effects of eating too much junk food. We have to trust the
students to make the right decision.

Parents can take care of their children as they usually do. Students can
bring lunch ____________ to school. It would be easier for the parents to help

a week to allow students to buy and eat junk food. If the rules are not that
___________, children wouldn’t feel so deprived and they wouldn’t crave
more junk food on school days. The most important thing is educating the
children of the bad effects of eating too much junk food. We don’t give these
students enough credit. If we give them _____________, they would make the
right decision. We can give advice but not dictate. If we talk to children like

Go Cathy!
I agree.
Have you heard of the story of Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs? I will never forget this fairy tale. I really admire
Snow White and her bravery. She was able to escape from
darkness and found her true love. She made so many
friends along the way. She took care of people and was
always kind to them. That’s why many of them wanted to
help her. In the end, good won versus evil. I want to make
something of myself just as she did. I want to be the kind of
person who spreads light and goodness wherever I go.
“ Go Mike!
I agree.
What’s wrong with fairy tales? You can learn about love,
friendship, family, courage and loyalty from these stories.
We can’t sell children short. We understand what is real
and make-believe. We appreciate the good lessons in
these stories. Grown-ups can actually benefit from these
simple lessons that they have been forgetting as they
grow older.
Lesson 02
for children?
Go Angie!
I disagree.
A princess has to be pretty all the time. Girls want to marry

the tall, strong and handsome prince. You will be happy
if you live in a huge and beautiful palace. We have these
and a lot more. Fairy tales send the wrong message to kids.
They don’t show the real struggles and the truth about
people.
“
Go Ray!
I disagree.
I don’t want to get my head stuck in the clouds. I may be

young but I don’t want to live in dreams. I want to read
stories about real people with true stories. I want to learn
from great artists, scientists and world leaders. These are
the people who actually made a difference in our world.
Their stories are worth sharing. I know that I will remember
these books for as long as I live.

It’s never too early to learn about life. I think having a

part-time job can teach me lessons that I wouldn’t learn

the future. It’s good to be open to new experiences that
can help me develop myself. Isn’t it also nice to have
something extra in my pocket?
“ Go Fred!
I agree.
Teenagers are different nowadays. People might say that

we’re growing up too fast and maybe we are. I don’t see
anything wrong with that. However, some teenagers go
down the wrong path. They give in to peer pressure and
they try new things that are not necessarily good for
them. They do these because they get bored easily and
they have too much time on their hands. I would rather
be busy with a part-time job. This can contribute to my
self-improvement rather than wasting my time on useless
activities.

I would very much like to make varsity and do some
volunteer work. I want to attend parties, hang out with
friends, have movie marathons and go on school trips. I
would be too busy being a student to work at a part-time
job. For me, that’s the way it should be right now.
“ Go Luke.
I disagree.
I’m only young once. I need to study and focus in school.

I get that. It’s something that would help me build a good
life for myself in the future. However, for me, there’s a time
for everything. This is my time to stay in school and learn
things I have never known. This is also the time for me
to hang out with my friends and build relationships that
can stay with me for a lifetime. There’s no need to rush
growing up.

Kids rely too much on their phones nowadays. They can’t

go anywhere without their phones. They also become less

be considered. There are risks that are just too dangerous
to take.
“ Go William!

Do you know how much it costs to send astronauts to

explore space? The amount is pretty substantial. It is
money that can be used to improve a country’s economy

we can do for the funds allocated for space exploration.

Information is wealth. Knowledge is always important. We

This is the only way to protect ourselves from any future

to learn about things that we don’t understand yet and
appreciate what we know so far. Learning never stops.
Space exploration is just one way to facilitate that learning.

Technology has changed our lives in so many ways. There

are some bad effects but the advantages are numerous
and substantial. Humans have discovered a lot of things
that made our lives better as times passed. Space
exploration is a useful program that enables us to look for
resources that we can use in our planet. It also provides

Lesson 10
Go Hannah!
I agree.
I’m a really shy girl. I’m not comfortable talking to different

kinds of people. However, if you put a guitar in my hand, I
feel that I can do anything. Music is how I express myself.
It’s something that I can never do with words. That’s
why I think playing a musical instrument can be a great
contribution to a young person’s life.
“ Go Logan!
I agree.
Instead of wasting my time on video games and television,

I would rather pick up my violin and make beautiful music.
It’s a way of developing myself. It is not only for myself but
it’s something that I can share with the world. I want to be
creative and come up with something beautiful that would
be remembered forever. I want my parents to be proud
of me. More importantly, I want to be proud for making
something of myself.

Lesson 10
Go Stella!
I disagree.
I don’t have time for musical instruments. I want to focus

on school, my family and my friends. It’s a nice hobby, don’t
get me wrong. However, there are more important things
to me. Learning how to play a musical instrument will take
too much of my time. These are moments that I can spend
preparing for my future and developing relationships.
“ Go Carter!
I disagree.
I know that learning a musical instrument is expensive.

My parents would have to buy the instrument for me to
practice on. Lessons are not cheap either. I need to get a
private tutor if I want to learn how to play. It doesn’t seem
worth it. There are other activities I can get engaged in
that won’t cost money. We have to be practical nowadays.
Learning how to play a musical instrument is just an
unnecessary luxury.
