Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high school dropout who became pregnant and contracted an STD at the age of 16, and who now sorely regrets her irresponsible sexual behavior, would likely have the most impact on students. This is because personal stories, especially those involving peers or near-peers, tend to be more relatable and impactful, making the consequences of risky behaviors more tangible and real to the audience.
