What is the most effective way to communicate to a pet owner bad news?
This was the first question I thought of when we were told about the assignment. I have learned that vets need to have good communication skills and not only be good with animals but they have to deal with people A LOT. I feel like I could learn a lot from this question and be able to use it in other areas of my life. I tend to be a person that will sugar coat things but as a vet I need to learn how to give the best answer. I am also not the best at delivering bad news so my research will help me discover what the best ways are. I didn't want to do my question about something boring or relating to science. I also don't want to get a direct answer or a common answer. I want to see each different example and what could work for ME! I found some good websites with research so I feel like I can learn a lot about this question.

Social Issue
I think a major social issue is teen depression and suicide. Of the 132,423 deaths of young people in the 90 countries age 15-19, suicide accounted for 9.1%. Suicide is not just a major issue in one country it is a problem all over the world. Reasons for suicide among teenagers vary but one of the major causes is bullying. Bullying has become a more major problem because of the use of technology and the internet. In third world countries, suicide is a problem because of the social situation and the quality of life.
I think suicide can be prevented all around the world by having better relationships. Parents should be aware of the signs and be comfortable communicating with their children. Teachers should be aware of any signs also and be able to prevent bullying that occurs at school. By making life better in third world countries these rates would decrease. Suicide not only affects the life of the person attempting to. It also affects friends and family.
I think this is a major social issue because teenagers are the future for the next generation and we want them to be successful. Suicide decreases the quality of life for everyone. We need to decrease these rates and be able to prevent it successfully.
