CADILLAC — The open houses are scheduled, the college applications are submitted and the diplomas are primed and ready to go.
The pomp and circumstance is about to start.
It's graduation season and high school seniors throughout our area are getting ready to take that next step in their lives.
The question is, what is that next step? And where will they end up?
The Cadillac News created a survey asking students to tell us a little about themselves, what their plans were for after high school and where they wanted to live one day.
We contacted schools in our coverage area and asked the surveys be given to the top 10 students at the schools.
Results were varied, as some schools do a top 10% group of students or some sent in surveys from the valedictorians and salutatorians.
In total, the Cadillac News received 51 surveys: 10 from Evart High School, 10 from Marion High School, nine from Pine River High School, nine from McBain Rural Agricultural High School, seven from Lake City High School, two from Mesick Consolidated Junior/Senior High School and four from Cadillac High School.
The following is what we learned.
Where are they heading after high school?
Of the 51 respondents, 49 of the high school seniors were planning to go to a post-high school educational institution after graduation.
Nine were planning on going to Ferris State University, six Baker College, five to Central Michigan University and then a smattering to schools across the state and even country, including State College of Florida, University of Michigan, Kettering University and Michigan State University.
Several students said they were thinking about furthering their education by going on to medical or graduate school.
McBain senior Arie Gentry is planning to study mathematics and computer science at Eastern Michigan University after high school.
He hopes to become either a high school teacher or college professor someday and doesn't mind getting a little extra schooling to get there.
"I am absolutely planning on obtaining my masters degree," he said. "But I would not be opposed to eventually obtaining a doctorate."
Cadillac senior Elizabeth Kennard said she found a passion for science and medicine during high school and she will attend medical school after studying biochemistry at Grand Valley State University.
Of the two survey respondents who are not planning to go on to a college or university immediately after high school, one respondent is going into the Marines and the other will start training to be a dog groomer this summer.
How likely are students to come back to their hometowns?
In the survey, seniors were asked how likely they were to live in their hometown as an adult.
Of the responses, the majority said they were unlikely to return to their hometown as an adult with 34 seniors stating as such.
There were 11 seniors who said they were likely to return to their hometown, two said they were somewhat likely to return and four seniors said they were unsure.
"At this point I'm really not sure," said Marion senior William Jenema. "It all depends on my job and people I have a relationship with. But if I had to choose, I would prefer to stick around here."
Many of the survey respondents said they did not believe there would be jobs available for them in their hometown, including those who were planning on going into engineering, law or kinesiology fields.
"I want to live somewhere much larger than Evart," senior Laura Junker said. "Plus there aren't as many jobs for lawyers here."
Lake City senior Braden Hinkston plans to study at the University of Michigan to become an athletic trainer and said he will more than likely need to be in a bigger city to acquire a job.
But for Lake City senior Makayla Ardis, who plans to study physical therapy at Trine University, she will likely stay there "because it will always be my hometown and I loved the community."
There's also Evart senior Carter Pritchard, who wants to be a high school math teacher one day.
"I love it here and want to spend the rest of my life in this community," he said.
Besides worrying about job opportunities, seniors also expressed an interest in going out into the world, traveling and trying new experiences in different places.
"I love Marion, it's where I grew up, but I would love to branch out from the small town experiences," Marion senior Trinity Bloss said.
But after traveling, some do want to come back home.
Pine River senior Gretchen Geer said she could potentially come back, but she wants to expand her horizons and experience other places as well.
"I may not come back right away, but after my adventures, I probably would," she said.
As for where they will be traveling to live, nine respondents specifically said they would like to move somewhere warm or warmer.
Others said they were planning on moving to bigger cities for career opportunities like Grand Rapids or Traverse City.
Pine River senior Taylor Hill, on the other hand, plans on living in Montana, mainly because of the view.
She's always enjoyed traveling across the states, but Montana has always been her favorite.
"I would love to look out my window and see mountains," Hill said.
What careers do they want to pursue?
In the responses received, there were 12 seniors who specifically said they wanted to go into fields to help people.
Like Geer, who wants to get her bachelor's of science in nursing with a minor in Spanish at Western Michigan University.
"I want to do something good with my life and help others," she said. "Being a nurse seems to be the best way to do that."
McBain senior Isabella Gandolfi plans to attend Kettering University and study chemical engineering. She plans to make a difference.
"I am interested in this field because of the many opportunities I will have to change people's lives," she said. "With my chemical engineering degree, I intend to make advancements in the medical field."
Many students also talked about how they were going into something they were passionate about, which does give one hope for the future.
Some words of wisdom for the underclassmen
Two of the graduating seniors shared some words of advice for underclassmen.
Mesick Senior Emily Bryer said they shouldn't be afraid to change their mind.
She was taking dual enrollment classes to become a psychologist and then realized one day it wasn't really what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
Now she plans to study business administration at Baker College and wants to own her own business.
"Choosing is difficult and I at first thought that it would be too late to change my path but I'm glad I did," she said. "School is stressful and your grades matter! I let my grades slip freshman year and I've been trying to fix it ever since. Just stay focused! In the end, it's you who is your greatest support."
Monica O'Neill, another Mesick senior, had some very wise words to share indeed.
"Don't procrastinate," she said. "It's a lot easier to just get it done and it saves you a lot of stress."
The Cadillac News reached out to the following schools multiple times to try and include them in the study: Baldwin High School, Buckley Community Schools, Cadillac Heritage Christian, McBain Northern Michigan Christian School, Manton Consolidated Schools, Reed City Area Public Schools.

Texas school officials who face criminal charges in 2019
Waco Independent School District Superintendent A. Marcus Nelson is one the latest and most high-profile school officials in Texas to face criminal charges in 2019.
Nelson was arrested March 6 on a marijuana possession charge and has since resigned. But several other principals, teachers and former school board trustees have been caught up in scandals this year, including some in the Houston area.
RELATED: Ex-Fort Bend ISD teacher with alleged 'obsession' with sex among 17 arrested for sex crimes
A former Fort Bend ISD teacher was arrested among 16 other people accused of sex crimes last month. She was charged with violating her probation stemming from a 2016 arrest for reportedly having an improper relationship with a student, according to earlier reports in the Houston Chronicle.
Among her probation violations, she did not complete a sex offender treatment program, according to police.
RELATED: Ex-Brazosport ISD teacher arrested for improper relationship with student
In another case, a former Brazosport ISD teacher was accused of having sex with a 15-year-old student in her classroom, as well as sending nude photos.
And last week, a Katy ISD paraprofessional was fired from Paetow High School after she was accused of sending sexually explicit photos to a 15-year-old student over Snapchat.

Donald Trump
7 Years Later: 6 Ways Trayvon Martin's Death Has Impacted the Social and Political Fabric of This Country
Feb. 26 marked seven years since George Zimmerman went on what feels like a Liam Neeson-esque mission to take out the first Black person he could find.
It was then that he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who by all accounts was minding his own business walking from a convenience store.
Martin's death – magnified by social media outrage and a perpetual news cycle – changed the tapestry of how America looks at race relations, and especially our interactions with police.
Even as Zimmerman still walks the street a free man, the social and political ripples of Martin's death are evident in a number of events since his untimely passing.
The Birth of Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter might not exist at all without Martin's death: It started as a Twitter hashtag in its wake and morphed into a movement following the death-by-cops of Michael Brown and Eric Garner in 2014.
With Black Lives Matter protests in major cities all over the country, the movement has done a great job at staying atop of the political and social consciousness.
The Streets are Watching Everything Now
Sadly, writing details of all the Black people killed by officers of the law since Martin's death would result in an entirely separate article.
However, the deaths of Martin, Brown and Garner helped create a culture in which folks automatically pull out their cell phones if they see police acting even slightly strange.
We're now capturing all the horrible shit that went unseen, forcing an unprecedented level of accountability.
The Charlottesville Protest
The public response to Martin's death doubtlessly aided in the rise of the "Alt-right," which is a genteel title for Neo-Nazi scum.
Their little movement had its apex in the August 2017 "Unite the Right" rally, which was one of the most visible and naked organization of white supremacist hate in the United States this generation has witnessed.
The movement and its counter-protest resulted in tragedy when Neo-Nazi James Fields Jr. plowed his vehicle in a crowd, killing one and injuring dozens.
Kaepernick's NFL Protest
When San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started sitting during pregame performances of the National Anthem in 2016, he became the name and face of a movement that continues to this day.
Kaep has been blackballed from the NFL, which seems perfectly content to demonstrate that it's unrepentant in its trash bag behavior.
He may not be making league dollars anymore, but he means so much more to so many more people now than he ever did as a quarterback
Reexamining the Confederate Flag
Dylann Roof claimed he was motivated in part by Martin when he stormed into a Black church in Charleston, N.C. and murdered nine people during prayer service in 2015.
Pictures of Roof posing with the rebel flag kicked off a national conversation regarding the anachronistic symbol of chattel slavery preservation that should've been buried eons ago.
The flag was removed from numerous public areas following the Charleston massacre, but we're still working to kill it altogether, as is evidenced most recently by the cancellation of an event in Detroit involving the General Lee from Smokey and the Bandit.
The Election of Donald Trump
Anyone paying attention to the amount of general white outrage that came as a result of Barack Obama's presidency and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement wouldn't think twice about acknowledging a knee-jerk reaction from Trump supporters.
White folks simply couldn't tolerate the idea of being complicit in white supremacy or – *gasp!* – that they would be made to feel guilty in any way.
So they went 100 miles in the wrong damn direction and helped elect a lobotomy patient to run the free world.
How lovely.

Yeah, I'm a Black Nationalist!Got a problem with that?
I never made a secret of my being a Black Nationalist. But don't get that confused with Donald Trump's declaration that he is a white one. The Trumpster's recent announcement was a clear signal that he supports White supremacy. White Nationalists subscribe to 45IQ's agenda to "Make American Great Again," means when Negroes knew their place, Hispanics were locked into second-class citizenship and women popped out babies left and right, and were silent.
In a nutshell, bring back apartheid!
Conversely, Black Nationalism is a philosophy of Black empowerment, prioritizing our community family—our village—over that of others, including political parties.
We're not separatists, but we support Black institutions, village control of the institutions that impact our community, and Black economic development through support of those institutions.
As such, I bank at Columbia Savings; I use a Black plumber, electrician and carpenter. I try to make sure my Black dollar (earned from this Black business), touches three Black hands before it leaves our community.
Our agenda also means we support Black political candidates (unless they follow a different agenda). And even then, we provide voice, be-cause information and options equate to power, and an ill-informed com-munity will make myopic decisions. Or worse yet, fall for the political "Okie-Doke" in which we are pawns in a game we mistakenly think is checkers.
That's why we featured Black Republican candidate Tim Roberts on the front page (above the fold, no less) in a recent edition. You may not agree with his philosophy, but he's a brother nonetheless.
And this newspaper gives voice to the voiceless. That's why the Black Press was created. We followed the motto of Russwurm and Cornish, founders of the Black press who declared: "we wish to plead our own cause…"
As such, we wouldn't have a problem educating our family about the six Black women running for congress as Republicans, or dozens running on little known Black independent party tickets. None have been acknowledged by the major "silver rights organizations," or White media and thus Black folks are denied an opportunity to ascertain their platforms or use it as leverage.
From a Black Nationalistic perspective, I look beyond labels and focus entirely on who can empower our village, or at the very least, address the issues of importance to us.
Being a Black Nationalist made it difficult for me to accept the status quo in Tuesday's elections.
Not because the two main candidates' positions were not clearly de-fined. But because neither of them addressed issues of encompassing importance to the Black community.
Both ignored the nation leading Black unemployment rate, or more specifically poverty index. There are 10,000 Black households earning less than $10,000 annually, meaning they must beg borrow or steal just to survive. Thousands are one check away from "three hots and a cot."
Nor did incumbent Scott Walker or governor-elect Tony Evers ever mention racial profiling, the affordable housing crisis or the entrenchment of "educational apartheid" in Milwaukee.
Indeed, that latter issue provided me with a unique puzzle to sort out as I headed to the polls yesterday, as neither candidate talked about the most crucial issue facing Black Milwaukee: educational apartheid.
Black Nationalists fought for school choice, an empowering apparatus created by low-income Black and Hispanic parents to provide options to failing government schools.
Led by the late Black Nationalist Annette Polly Williams, the school choice crusade was intended to provide poor "minorities" the same options that Barack Obama (and most of those who oppose it for the poor) made for his children.
While Walker and Evers tried to convince voters that they were both the educational czar, and both noted outstate Wisconsin's ranking on the national education scale, neither talked about the crisis in Milwaukee, where a 48% drop out rate for Black children originates from the lowest fourth and eighth grade reading proficiency rates in the United or Con-federate States of America.
Walker did support school choice, but his policies ignored the plight of those Black students who were left behind or attended ineffective schools or private schools accepting scholarships to the MPCP.
And Evers? He was head of the state department of Public Instruction for eight years, and in general, the plight of those attending government schools worsened, even as he expressed opposition to alternatives or re-forms.
And I don't see that changing with his election as governor. Indeed, he declared he would reverse Walker policies and empower the teachers' union (which has blocked every reform that would improve the quality of education, while blaming the children for their failures), and terminate school choice. That means 40,000 children will be denied the same options a majority of teachers enjoy—and utilize.
According to one national study, Milwaukee has the highest percent-age of public-school teachers who send their children to private schools. Yet, they fight for our children to seek options. Indeed, only the blind can't see that opposition to school choice is not about the welfare of Black children, but instead controlling resources and the viability of MPS employment. Forcing the 40,000 children in private, charter and virtual schools to attend government schools will ensure jobs, which another study revealed is the 13th highest in the country. But are the results that high for Black children? How about the 13th lowest.
I was privy to a meeting recently of Black clergy who raised the ques-tion of the future inability of school choice under Evers' leadership.
Many of the so-called choice sectarian schools are run by Black churches, providing students with not only a cultural foundation, but a value—God inspired—curriculum. Their schools provide not only education, but employment opportunities for thousands, safe havens for children, and an economic boon unequalled by any initiative in the state.
But the union hates them not only because they tout that BS about separation of church and state (the church was the first "public school" and the Bible was the first "text book" used in most government schools), but more so because they don't know that the Fugitive Slave Act was rescinded.
We need to be truthful about what this debate is really about.
It's not as much about the welfare of children as it is about dollars and "uncommon" sense.
If Black parents controlled the finances or had the wherewithal, most would exercise their options outside of the "educracy." They would choose Messmer or Milwaukee Collegiate Academy or CTK over all but a few MPS schools.
Indeed, it speaks volumes that a recently released analyst by MPS showed less than 5% of North Division's student population chose to attend there. Why? Because North is the worse school south of the Mason Dixon Line, which lynching victim and the late Black Holocaust Museum founder James Cameron once explained starts at the Canadian border.
Indeed, if this ongoing civil rights battle was truly about what's best for poor and po' Hue-man children—underachievement and miseducated—the union would have embraced and sup-ported the "school choice" proposal when it was first introduced by Milwaukee Public Schools Superin-tendent Robert Peterkin who sought a public/private partnership back in 1988.
Peterkin, who was run out of town by the union, made the mistake of acknowledging community schools like Harambee and Urban Day were educating "Hue-man"-children when MPS could—or would—not.
Polly Williams, herself a declared Black Nationalist, interceded when the union sabotaged Peterkin's attempt, and supported by an impressive coalition of minority parents and activists, marched the MPCP bill though the legislative minefields where it was signed into law by the only Republican governor, Tommy Thompson to get over 40% of the Black vote.
Some of you (anti-choice folks) are tired of hearing me go off about school choice, Black empowerment and our being taken for granted by the party that ignores our loyalty to placate another special interest—the teachers union. So be it.
But I hope you can at least see clearly enough to realize we're just pawns, whose agendas are always put on the back burner.
According to the union's social media, Evers will restore (whatever that means) union influence and start an initiative to kill school choice.
That's good for the union members, but where will it leave the thousands of Black children who attend the successful private schools. What will that mean for Black parents who chose what they consider safe environments, schools that are grounded in religious values (it's about prayer vs. preyed) or with cultural foundations that catapult our students to greatness.
I support several of Evers' initiatives including reducing prison "enrollment" (Wisconsin has the highest Black male prison rate in the country), raising the minimum wage, and more money for education (I have always supported public schools, where most of our children attend, but I don't support the educracy and decry what is obviously a system of apartheid that leaves most—MOST—of our children undered-ucated and feeding disenfranchisement and criminal-ity).
But unlike far too many African Americans, I put our people's interest before that of any other special interest, political party or economic system.
Moreover, I'm a Black Nationalist, which means I am preparing myself for what the future will bring. Whether the new administration will follow the philosophy of the two President Johnsons who led this country—L.B. or Andrew.

polish pavilion for shanghai expo in 2010
on december 11, 2007 the polish government chose a winner in the design competition for the polish pavilion at the 2010 world expo in shanghai. the winning entry was design by architects wojciech kakowski, marcin mostafa and natalia paszkowska. their building is inspired by traditional polish folk art paper cut-outs reinterpreted in a contemporary fashion. the idea was generated when the team sought to create a 'cultural ideogram' that would signify the country of origin in an iconic way. the project focuses on exploring the importance of the personal experience between buildings and people. the ramp that is created by the folded exterior enables visitors to climb onto the roof of the building, making the entire building a function exhibition space.
This project is a total sell-out concept – nobody should be proud of such a tired idea. You find a local tapestry and make it a building skin? Like Arab World Institute by Jean Nouvel and several others…. – also the generic massing strategy looks like Bjarke Ingels Group work. Although I appreciated what B.I.G. offers to the discussion on shape vs. form (along with OMA) this a generic version of their work. The most glaring weakness is where the pattern is the same on the roof (which is occupiable). Its a one-liner with no subtle design moves besides the cliche entry way strategy.
Lets look back to the Centre Culturel Tjibaou that Renzo Piano did for New Caledonia 10 years ago. Yes, they found some cultural artifact and made it into a building -BUT- they did so much more with the form. It becomes a passive air flow system, it makes a humming sound, it emerges from the tree tops in a beatiful way – as if it was always there.
Software is making it too easy for amatuers to make sexy images.
I saw one of the best architecture lectures by a group of Polish Architects who came to visit Columbia University NYC in 2006-7. The 5 architects who presented their work were clearly more talented and thoughtful than the ones who won this Polish Pavilion Competition. I hope to see more work from those teams.
nicholas, could you be any more of an elitest prick? way to include your school at the end of your ranting flame!
I am not crazy about the design
I don't quit understand why this project become the winner. The pattern has no meaning, not only the graphic itself, it has not actually relationship to the interior space. This is the project that will be built a decade later, I don't see it will be a significant piece for the post-modern architect.
I agree with Nicholas, T, and Leung.
This design somehow looks more like some design a geek sitting behind a computer screen can come up with on Adobe Photoshop using patterned brushes than the work of a truly brilliant architect.
Thanks for your comments, Jim Bob. I'm not an elitest prick. I said something positive about 8 architects that i refered to and said something negative about 1 architecture team… that means I am more "for" than "against" ideas.
Meanwhile, your comments is "against" everything i said without having any explaination.
And why can't i put my school name with my comment? Can you give me a good reason?
"The pattern has no meaning, not only the graphic itself" well I can`t agree with that . The pattern has a meaning – it`s polish traditional paper cut -out – when you fold a piece of paper for example 4 times, and then cut in it some shape and then spread it – you will get this pattern. see it on [url=http://www.polishamericancenter.org/Wycinanki.htm]polishamericancenter[/url]
A hybrid of a Christmas present wrap (the pattern of the paper rarely stays in a relation with the form of the gift) and a traditional paper-cut. Could have been better, so much better!
Nicholas, elitism doesn't have to do with your for-to-against ratio; it has to do with giving more weight and respect to a certain group of people than another. In your case you do seem to have a preference towards starchitects as witnessed by mentioning Renzo Piano, OMA, and Jean Nouvel as if they are the final word on architecture.
As for the tapestry-as-building idea already being done in the Arab World Institute… well, I could be wrong but I don't believe the Arab World Institute was based on tapestry at all but rather a reference to Islamic architecture, and then not a reference to any specific strain.
If this building does repeat the ideas of the buildings you referenced, I'm always curious to ask: does it matter? It's really, truly, absolutely ALL been done before, no matter how un-cliche or fresh something may seem.
I'm about a month behind on finding this post so I doubt anyone will read this, but you know… just in case blogs actually turn into something for for historical reference, which I have to doubt sometimes.

A 21-year-old Bryan man was arrested Monday after authorities say he had sexual contact with a 14-year-old.
According to Bryan police, an officer responded to the report a suspicious vehicle parked in a driveway on West 15th Street around 1 a.m. Monday. When police arrived, he approached the car and found Angel Levi Melendez, 21, having physical contact with a teen girl, a report notes. The house where the car was parked belonged to Melendez's relative.
Authorities said the girl initially told police she was 18 but born in August 2001. The officer was suspicious because of the conflicting statements and because the girl was wearing a jacket with the logo of a local elementary school. Police drove the girl home and eventually made contact with her mother, who confirmed the girl is 14. A report notes the girl told police she had sneaked out of her house to meet Melendez and had told him she was 17.
He is charged with indecency with a child, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. He was released from the Brazos County Jail on $10,000 bond.

Facing Your Phobias
This chapter answers five questions:
1. What is a phobia?
2. What are the most common phobias?
3. What does a severe phobic response feel like?
4. How do phobia sufferers typically seek relief?
5. Why do phobia sufferers often fail to see the whole picture?
Do you or does someone you care about suffer from phobias? If so, this book is for you. Here we explain what phobias are, where they come from, and — perhaps most important — what you can do about them.
We take phobias seriously as threats not so much to life itself (although sometimes they are), but as obstacles to lifestyle. Phobias prevent people from enjoying many activities, ranging from business or personal travel, to a nature walk, to simply swallowing bites of a delicious meal. And others who care about a phobic person suffer as well. When a husband can't cross bridges or drive on freeways, a wife must often stay at home as well or go alone. When a friend can't fly, reunions are postponed for months, then years. When a father fears water, a child misses splashing with Dad.
If the solution to phobias was easy and apparent, the problem wouldn't exist. Those burdened by phobias know that "willing them away" rarely works. And, in truth, no one sells a pill or markets a single technique guaranteed to remove phobic suffering for all people in all cases.
In this book we propose several answers to the dilemma of phobic suffering. One of these or several in combination may well set you on the right path for recovery. We emphasize up front that no one technique is an instant "miracle" cure. Getting over a phobia that has plagued a person for many years requires time, patience, and effort. In most cases, the assistance of a health professional is highly recommended to help you apply the recovery concepts and strategies of this book to your individual situation. As with many of life's most complicated issues, simply knowing about phobias does not in itself guarantee psychological healing. Your physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other mental health counselor can help you turn good ideas into life realities. We hope that those good ideas begin with your reading of these chapters.
You're in Good Company!
It may be some consolation that you are not alone in your experience of a phobia. In fact, many highly regarded and successful individuals throughout history have been afflicted by a wide variety of phobic conditions. Below is a short list of some notable personalities and their phobias, as recently listed in U.S. News and World Report (November 24, 2004):
[??] Napoleon Bonaparte: ailurophobia (fear of cats)
[??] Queen Elizabeth I: subtype of anthophobia (fear of roses)
[??] Sigmund Freud: agoraphobia (fear of having an anxiety attack in a situation where escape might be difficult or embarrassing, such as a public gathering place)
[??] Howard Hughes: mysophobia (fear of germs ... nonetheless, he spent his final years so paralyzed by fear that he was isolated and lived in squalor)
[??] Edgar Allen Poe and Harry Houdini: claustrophobia (fear of small, crowded, or confined spaces)
[??] Andre Agassi: arachnophobia (fear of spiders)
[??] Donald Trump: chirophobia (fear of shaking hands)
[??] Cher, Whoopi Goldberg, John Madden, and Aretha Franklin: aviophobia (fear of flying)
[??] Paul Newman: social phobia (fear of social situations)
[??] Billy Bob Thornton: fear of antiques
What Is a Phobia?
Phobia, stemming from the Greek word for "fear," names a special set of apprehensions, anxieties, and terrors tied to particular things, places, experiences, and situations. As we will see throughout the following chapters, the list of different kinds of phobias is as various as life itself. Documented cases of phobias have involved the fear of swallowing, fear of babies, fear of tall trees, fear of short people, fear of dark clouds, and fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth. The most common phobias by far are those related to flying; snakes; insects; heights; enclosure; crowds; hypodermic needles; and functions and status of the body, including illnesses, blood, and injury.
You probably do not need to consult a book to know if you suffer from a particular phobia. The phobic experience is memorable indeed, standing out as a giant emotional spike in the usual ups and downs of daily life. For example, Calvin begins his day with his usual set of feelings, issues, and hang-ups. He groans when he steps on the scale and worries that his new diet isn't working. He makes small talk with his girlfriend at breakfast and worries that the relationship is fading. He starts his car and worries that the ping in the engine means a big repair bill in the near future. These are the common stressors and anxieties of daily living.
But when Calvin enters the East Tunnel, an emotional spike occurs that differs in intensity, symptoms, and painfulness from his normal emotional life. When the traffic stops dead at the bottom of the tunnel, Calvin feels suddenly overwhelmed by his long-standing phobia of tunnels, particularly the feeling of being trapped in a tunnel. He begins to sweat profusely, his pulse rate soars, and panic sets in. He grips his steering wheel with white knuckles. Only when traffic begins to move again and Calvin is free of the tunnel and back into the daylight does his composure begin, slowly, to return. Exhausted, he feels he has been to hell and back — and vows to avoid tunnels at all costs in the future.
Calvin's experience qualifies as a classic case of phobia because his intense fears are aroused by the presence of a particular thing or experience — the tunnel in this case — and are alleviated only when that stimulus is removed. In this sense, phobias can be viewed as the hot peppers in the salad of life. You have no doubts when you experience them, nor do you confuse them with run-of-the-mill anxieties of life.
The Funny Side of Phobias
In an era and culture sensitive to most forms of mental and emotional illness, it's ironic that we continue to find phobias — the phobias of others, of course — somewhat humorous and entertaining. Usually we do not joke about the physical or emotional infirmities of others; Lord Byron's crippled foot, Winston Churchill's lisp, or John F. Kennedy's back problems aren't subjects available for jest. Yet when it comes to phobias, we as a culture seem to take relish in entertaining stories about the seemingly quaint fears of others. There is a part of us, as a culture, that likes to hear about Fred's morbid fear of spiders, Mabel's dread of deep water, and John's anxiety over germs on his hands. Such anecdotes are sufficiently exotic — that is, unlike our own experiences — to fascinate us.
At the same time, these stories increase our own sense of elevated status in relation to Fred, Mabel, and John. We feel "one up" because we do not suffer from these specific phobias. We enhance our own status by branding and labeling Fred, Mabel, and John in our own minds with their particular fears so that when we think of these people it is never without some thought to their phobic problems. Like the classic cartoon of the rich man slipping head over heels on a banana peel, we deflate others — albeit humorously — by picturing them forever being tripped up by the banana peel of their phobias.
We find some phobias so unusual and outright ridiculous, in fact, that we can't imagine why Fred, Mabel, and John don't break out laughing at their own fears. Take Fred, for example. He's a mesomorphic specimen with muscles on top of muscles, yet he can be reduced to a puddle of trembling perspiration by a small, nonpoisonous spider crawling across his desk.
Absurd? Not to Fred. And that's the key message with regard to any humor or entertainment we may find in the seemingly bizarre fears of others: their fears are as real to them as a crippled foot, lisp, or back problem. A culture of ridicule forces phobia sufferers to hide their dilemmas and, at the moment of a phobic episode, to worry about negative judgments and pointed fingers from others. In truth, there's nothing funny about phobias to those who suffer from them.
How Phobia Sufferers Seek Relief
You may wonder what in the world Calvin was doing in the East Tunnel when he knew full well that he suffered from a tunnel phobia. In fact, Calvin is not atypical of the large percentage of phobia sufferers who attempt to get over their fears by putting themselves again and again in the feared situation. They may rationalize that they have to cross a bridge or drive through a tunnel to get to work. But the underlying "script" being enacted here goes something like this: "I'm being silly to freak out in this tunnel. Thousands of people pass safely through it every day. I'm not going to let my ridiculous fears get the best of me. I can drive through this tunnel as confidently as anyone else. I just have to force myself to do it."
The notion of forcing oneself to overcome phobias helps to explain why so many phobic sufferers end up so often in exactly the circumstances they fear most — facing the barking dog, sitting on a crowded bus, swimming in deep water, and so forth. They push themselves to repeatedly experience their phobia in the hope (sometimes the misguided hope) that repeated suffering will eventually bring relief. Although some people do overcome phobias in this way, many others discover that touching a hot stove hurts just as much the 100th time as it did the first — and all the more so, if increasing injury (in the case of phobias, psychological injury) makes the pain worse.
Other phobic sufferers beat a quick path to their physician for a checkup. Too often in these few minutes of medical counsel the patient fails to tell the whole story of the phobic episode, sometimes out of embarrassment and sometimes from a lack of comprehension of the disorienting, frightening phobic event. For example, a patient fresh from a phobic episode may tell his physician that "sometimes my heart races and I feel clammy" instead of recounting the whole circumstance of the tunnel, the stopped traffic, and the onset of panic. With the best of professional intentions, a physician may give the patient a thorough physical exam and pronounce, with the goal of reassurance, that "you're perfectly fine."
Thousands of phobic sufferers come out of such doctor appointments only to be more confused than ever by their next phobic experience: "My heart is supposedly okay, but why is it racing again when I enter the tunnel? Why do I feel light-headed?" Many of these people seek further medical testing, second opinions, and advanced diagnosis in the hope of discovering "what's wrong with me."
Those who do tell their phobia story clearly to their physician may also encounter obstacles. Their doctor may recognize that a phobia is the likely cause of the patient's symptoms, but the physician may not be prepared to undertake time-consuming, talk-oriented therapy to address the problem. In an era of HMOs, PPOs, and "capitation" (in which a participating physician is financially pressured to limit outside referrals), the doctor may not make it a practice to send phobia sufferers promptly to a mental health professional for help. The doctor may remark, "You may want to see a psychologist or psychiatrist," with the subtext inferred by the patient, "... if you really think you are crazy." The doctor sometimes fails to suggest names and make a specific referral. Many phobia sufferers, already confused and discouraged by their situation, do not have the moxie or information resources to seek out a mental health professional on their own.
Another group of phobia sufferers attempt to self-medicate their way to relief, most commonly with alcohol ("a stiff drink usually gets me through"), nicotine ("I'm okay if I can smoke"), and tranquilizers such as Ativan ("attaboy"), Xanax, Valium, and their kin. For example, the senior manager who fears public speaking gets his courage up with a couple shots of whiskey before the big speech and drowns his sorrows after the speech with more alcohol. The interior designer who fears bridges pacifies herself by taking Ativan, which she purchases 30 pills at a time for $169 from an Internet pharmacy in Canada after her physician refused to renew her prescription. The obvious risks of substance addiction and abuse in these cases significantly outweigh any physical danger from phobic reactions.
Finally, the largest percentage of phobia sufferers self-treat their illness by avoidance of the feared thing or experience. Calvin quits his job to find work where he will never have to enter a tunnel. Those who fear dogs sell their homes to find apartments in dog-prohibited buildings. Those who fear snakes or particular insects move hundreds or thousands of miles away in search of a phobia-free existence. In the process, these people discover, first, that phobic stimuli are hard to avoid entirely; and second, that the extinguishment of one phobia through avoidance may simply be the prelude to a new phobia. For example, the woman who moves to San Francisco to avoid thunderstorms (San Francisco has very few) may find that she begins to fear some other weather phenomenon, such as blinding fog (of which San Francisco has an abundance). A person's psychological need for a phobia of some kind is rarely dissolved by avoidance alone.
Phobias and Social Embarrassment
A significant portion of the suffering accompanying phobic fears stems not from actual terror over the mold spores on the orange, slithering coils of the snake, or possibility of choking on a bite of steak, but on what others will think. Depending on our desire for approval and general social needs, we may go to great lengths to hide our phobic responses or to avoid situations that we feel may bring on such reactions. For example, a commercial real estate broker who fears heights may struggle mightily with impending feelings of panic as he shows an upper-story office suite with a suspended balcony overlooking the city. He may avoid such situations entirely, to his financial disadvantage and the befuddlement of his boss and clients.
The fear of what others will think — in itself a possible form of phobia — can intensify the sensations associated with a phobic episode. Worrying about the reactions of others becomes a pressure cooker for the person experiencing a phobic episode. It's one thing for Linda, a grade-school teacher, to stay out of the reptile house when she takes her class on a field trip to the zoo, with the explanation "I just hate snakes." But it's quite another thing when she attempts to hide her fear of snakes, under the assumption that her students and their parents will think less of her if she appears unable to lead a cage-by-cage, scale-by-scale tour of the reptile house.
Picture Linda's agony due to her fear not only of snakes, but of social embarrassment as well. She begins to perspire as she nears the cool, dark entrance to the reptile house. She feels strangely unsteady and light-headed as the first snake specimen comes into view. Sensations of panic wash across her as she tries to keep up her docent talk on the wonders of snakes, while all the time feeling an overpowering need to rush out of the reptile house. She worries that her physical discomfort and growing sense of terror must be apparent to those around her. She interprets the glance of any student or parent as the question, "Teacher, are you okay?" She bears down with all her might to fight against her emotions of fear, intensified now by her anxiety over what others are thinking about her. At last, drenched in sweat and weak from her emotional wars, she stumbles out the exit door of the reptile house, vowing silently never again! when it comes to leading field trips to the zoo.
How can the pressure cooker of others' reactions be turned off? Being honest with others about what you can and can't do certainly has general merit. Social anxiety can be relieved when others know about and accept your limitations. Self-acceptance of such limitations can also be a step toward internal peace.
But an important caveat or footnote should accompany any blanket advice to simply accept and admit one's perceived limitations. It's deceptively easy to assert that phobic sufferers should simply announce their handicaps to others and let the chips fall where they may. In many situations, phobic sufferers don't want to give in to their phobias. They see others having fun at a particular activity and they want to enjoy the activity as well. In addition, they know that the convenience and pleasure of others is directly impacted by the phobic person's problems. A husband, Bob, hates to let his wife down by passing up an opportunity for an anniversary cruise to Alaska all because he has experienced a long-standing fear of being at sea. In this case, Bob's love for his wife conflicts directly with his accommodation to his phobia. Part of him may want to nix the whole idea of a cruise, but another part of him would like to see his wife enjoy the time of her life on a long-anticipated cruise.(Continues…)
