Psychology Opinion Paper (pointers/suggestions needed)

I am supposed to be writing a term paper for psychology. It is supposed to be 5-7 Pages long. I can choose any topic but it needs to be an opinion paper and I am an awful writer and I'm not sure where to begin or even how to start an opinion paper. I'm also not completely sure what a good topic for this paper would be. If someone could give me some pointers/suggestions it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Topic could be how the brain controls our wants and needs

This is a beautifully constructed phrase; I think maybe you are a better writer than you think!!

Think of something you have a strong opinion about. Do you think ritalin should be prescribed to kids? Do you think it is foolish? Do you think people who oppose the use of ritalin by kids are foolish?

Do you think people with psychological problems should be exempt from capital punishment?

When you have a strong opinion about a topic, you can list 3 important points about the topic. Let each point be a topic sentence (the first sentence of a paragraph).

Then, you'll have 3 good points and the beginning of 3 paragraphs.
