Research topics?

I'm not entirely sure if this is in the correct section, but I'm a senior in high school and I am going into nursing in college. For my lit class I have to right a research essay on a topic in my area of study. I have a few ideas in mind, but I don't know if they are good and I can't exactly make up my mind on which to choose from. So, I was just wondering you all could maybe give me some feedback on which topic(s) might be good? Or if there are other topics out there that could be better. Thank you :)

Topics-

Alcohol/drug abuse

Alzheimer disease (Treatments, Prevents/Delay tactics, stem cell research)

Cancer (Medical treatments, theories, cures, etc)

Birth defects

Eating disorders (more psychological though?)

Cardiac Arrest (Therapeutic hypothermia)

Pneumonia

    What interests you? What kind of nursing do you want to get into?

    Start Googling and research a couple of these. See what's out there, and start narrowing down from there. Choose a topic with a lot of available information.

    Oh my goodness. How long is this paper supposed to be? Those topics encompass a HUGE amount of information. My advice is to narrow the topic unless you are aiming for a document that would rival the size of War and Peace.

    If you want to stick with a physiological topic, you could look into a much more narrow facet of one of your topic such as the link between socioeconomic status and eating disorders. Or you could explore a really interesting but little-known phenomenon such as "Maple Syrup Urine" disease among the Amish. Take a Google, it's a real thing.

    Oh gosh, I didn't know they'd be THAT long haha. I was only shooting for about 6-7 pages. I just wanted to do a topic that had enough information on it that could get me to about 9 or so pages.

    And who knew there was such a thing as 'Maple Syrup Urine' That's super interesting. Learn something new everyday!

    The blue people of Kentucky have fascinated me ever since I had one as a patient when I was in nursing school.

    Do narrow your topic to a single condition.
