EditSteps
-
1Think about the taboos present in your community. Is there any subject that is NEVER present in conversation, even though it is a subject anyone can discuss? Some common taboo topics are religion, abortion, race, and polygamy.Ad -
2Learn more about these topics. Look up different statistics and facts on the Internet. This is to make you look like an individual with strong opinions, as opposed to an outspoken idiot. -
3Develop an opinion about your topic. For example, do you believe that abortion should be illegal or that it is the mother's choice? Having a clear opinion will certainly help you discuss a taboo. -
4Begin to bring up your issue with your family. A great place to do this is at the dinner table. Share the facts yo have learned about your topic, then provide your opinion. Ask your parents what they have heard about the topic and what their opinion is and why. After this, you should be more comfortable discussing your topic with people. -
5Next, talk about the issue with your friends. They are less likely to have valid information, but it is still okay to discuss with each other and share your different beliefs. However, do not let peer pressure change your opinion.Ad
EditTips

- Be ready to debate. Different people have different beliefs. Stick to your opinion, and provide facts that support it.
