C1 Health & Lifestyle Discussion Questions for Late Teens (16-18)

C1 health discussions with 16-18 year olds examine wellness through critical lenses that most health content avoids. These 50 questions ask whether the wellness industry exploits people's insecurities, how socioeconomic status determines health outcomes more than personal choices, and whether the emphasis on individual responsibility for health is a political strategy to avoid systemic change. These are questions for students who can sustain sophisticated analytical discourse.

The vocabulary draws from public health policy, social critique, and bioethics: 'determinant,' 'disparity,' 'commodification,' 'autonomy,' and 'systemic.' C1 teens who can deploy these terms in spoken discussion are demonstrating the academic register that university study and professional life demand.

Critical health literacy

C1 health discussions produce the strongest output when students are pushed to question received wisdom. 'In what ways might the concept of mental health awareness be counterproductive?' challenges students to construct an argument against something they probably agree with, developing the intellectual flexibility that C1 requires.

Academic register for health discourse

For C1 teens preparing for university, Cambridge Advanced, or IB, health discussions develop transferable analytical skills. The ability to examine social determinants, evaluate policy, and question assumptions about wellbeing applies to any academic discipline.
