I would  start off by asking the kids questions - start off by simply 
asking 'What do  you know about breastfeeding?'.  Ask them what the recommended 
age a  child should breastfeed for, what do they feel about seeing a mother  
breastfeed, do they think the mother should hide in a bathroom when her 
child  is hungry.  

~~~ Oh nice ideas Jessica. One could even lead in more subtly with 'what do 
 babies need and how can moms make sure they get it?",or 'how are most 
babies  fed':... something like that? That eases into the "breast" word, if 
that's  helpful.
 
When my daughter was little, ( maybe 6-8 months,very smiley,  in arms) we 
went to several health classes for middle and  high school students ( some 
all girls, some coed) and I  remember the one thing that made an impression ( 
other than my happy engaging  baby) was the ease with which I nursed her as 
I sat on a desk in  front of the class, as we talked, without anyone "seeing 
 anything." For those who are so deeply into body issues, this seemed  very 
helpful for them to know.
 
Peace,
