    I am David Shane Dobyns, twenty-two years of age; I was born in Puyallup, Washington August 17th 1994 at Good Samaritan hospital. My family consists of my mother, father, and brother. Growing up was as idyllic as one would suspect. In my pre-pubescent years we moved several times bouncing from Oregon to Washington in search of “gods’ plan” for us, finally starting a church of our own in Lubbock, Texas. The church siphoned our time and money to the brink of poverty. Through the eyes of a jaded 5-year-old, everything was but a perfect utopia, neither a problem nor a care in the world. Mother was a stay at home at the wife, dictated by the church, whilst father worked odd jobs donating what blood and platelets he could muster that week to pay…

    For me the theorists that have the most relevance today is Emile Durkheim. Mr. Durkheim theories of how suicides are marked by cultural approval (Stack, 2004) can be applied in today’s society with the reality we are currently living and how social forces affect our behavior. The world we live and what goes around us can dramatically affect our behavior and how we feel about others. The world around us can also change how we think and can influence us to change. Change that in many cases is not for our own good but change just to be able to fit in a fictional world. Mr. Durkheim did a search in how social bonds can influence us and why people in certain circumstances committed suicide. He thought that our behavior is not only based on how we…

    When the bars to the cell finally opened, I had yet to sober up from the previous night’s apparent unruly, crass, and uncontrolled alcohol-induced behavior. Honestly though, I had very little recollection of the entire night beyond arriving at the club with friends. Even today, I am uncertain as to the day of the week. However, I can remember this fact; I had about ten minutes to arrive for my job at the bakery. Fortunately, I was being held in a cell in the same town, and the two locations were about ten minute walking distance apart. Fortune is how I looked at it at that time too. I was always trying to rationalize negative circumstances, and this stems from the dysfunctional mindset of an addict. I arrived at work barely on time and in a complete stupor, yet sure of my co-workers ignorance, and more importantly my boss’. I manage to drag myself through the morning with as few errors as possible and headed home for some much needed sleep and of course a fist full of aspirin. I had traversed those unexpected events with the skill of a crime scene investigator, I thought, and that success would only act as a catalyst for continued personal abuse. I had not been drinking for all that long at this time and my problems were only just beginning. I was after all just a teenager and my ignorance, ego, and youth kept me blind to the reality of how…
