No
most people don't fracture their jaw in the first place (the mandible is prominent, but it is quite a tough bone - more people break their noses - admittedly, of the facial bones, the mandible is about 2nd or 3rd most commonly broken bone)
and once it is broken and healed the bone is usually thicker in that spot
is there something wrong with your bones? (calcium - osteoporosis - the protein matrix - osteomalacia?)
did the side that was broken heal poorly? (do you smoke?)
do you talk too much?
are you a really annoying person such that other people wish to break your jaw? :)
