Journal 9 -Bailee Patton

One question I fine intriguing is the suicide rate in Dentist.Recent Studies say that Dentist are stressed and have physical and emotional problems.The suicide rate in dentist is more than twice the rate of general public and three times higher than white collar workers. They believe the cause of this is because they are in a small room sometimes windowless. Which is like a cell. Its also hard on them physically because of hunching over all the time. It causes back pain and its easy for a dentist to get burned out.Dentist are 1.67 times more likely to commit suicide but surprisingly the number one job to commit suicide is Marine engineers.

I think one theme i can relate to is odd one out. I've always felt like i didn't have a place in this world. I never knew what i wanted to do and i wasn't that great at sports and i was mediocre with my grades. This doesn't stop me from trying my hardest to do things and be a better me but i can relate to a lot of these stories. I never feel like my parents are proud of me. I mean they say they are but they don't show it. Don't get me wrong i'm very happy with my life i just always had trouble making friends or keeping a relationship. My mom likes to say i try to hard to impress everyone and ts probably true. Maybe that's why i come out so odd i'm not sure. I'm happy with me. Maybe i am odd but at least i'm not just normal.

My best vocab word is is demarcation. The act of fixing the boundary or limits of something.I like this vocab word because to me its fixing or patching up bad relationships with friends or family. Its like trying to better yourself and keep the peace between everyone.I am that person who hates fighting and i try to patch up problems. I feel like this vocab word is like pushing yourself beyound your limits to do better that you thought you could.

  2. That's so interesting that dentist have such a high suicide rate. I could definitely see how it's so easy for them to get burnt out with that job though.
