Possible ideas:

1. Increased numbers of single parent families (familias monoparentales)
2. Same sex parents (padres homosexuales)
3. Same sex marriage (matrimonio del mismo sexo)
4. Increased acceptance / tolerance of 1-3? Any intolerance? 
5. Are parents nowadays too soft on their kids? Child-centred society. Consequences.

2. Cyberbullying → other side of online friends. Ciberacoso. Would you speak up if you saw it happening online? Should you? What are you scared of if you don't? 
3. Using Internet to stay in contact with family/friends across the world → influence of technology. 
4. Pressure to fit in - do people change their personality / physical appearance to do so? 
5. Is there a stage where friends are more important than family? Does that change again later in life? ]]> 2016-05-15 20:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/asalt518/AlevelconvFamiliayamigos/wish/110930643 asalt518 https://padlet.com/asalt518/AlevelconvFamiliayamigos/wish/110930716 No creo que sea justo - I don't think it's fair

If you do start by listing the people in your family, try to move quickly on to higher level ideas and vocab. What's unique about your family? How do you get on with them all? Is your mum your best friendDo you do things together or not? Who's still at home? If you're the eldest, are you an unpaid babysitter? Do you have nieces and nephews the same age as you? Is your family big by today's standards? Are your parents stricter than your friends' parents or more relaxed? ]]> 2016-05-15 20:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/asalt518/AlevelconvFamiliayamigos/wish/110931161
