A Disturbed High School Student Exhibits Quite A Few Alcohol-Related Issues, Gets Kicked Out Of School, And Has To See The School Therapist

Stephen was a sixteen year old high school sophomore who was manifesting more than a few alcohol-related problems at school. For that reason, the principal explained to him that he had to see Miss Pender, the school therapist, before he would be allowed to come back to class.

Later that day when Stephen went home after school, he had to explain his school discharge to his Mom and Dad. His Mom and Dad were "relatively old-style" and told Stephen that getting discharged from school was not a doable educational game plan. They informed Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would likely be like a lead weight around his ankles that may hinder his educational achievement for the remainder of his life. Not only this, but Stephen's Mother and Father were very displeased that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his peers in the second.

It was plain to see that his Mom and Dad were in total accord with Stephen's principal and explained to Stephen that he had better make up his mind to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist. After his dialogue with his Mom and Dad, Stephen in the end agreed to see Miss Pender the next day. So Stephen phoned the school and made an appointment to see Miss Pender the next morning before school.

When Stephen arrived at his scheduled appointment with Miss Pender, she instantly reviewed all of the alcohol-related issues Stephen had gotten into and asked him if he knew why his recent alcohol-related activities caused quite a bit of apprehension by the school administrators.

Quite candidly, Stephen wondered why the principal suggested that he see a school counselor. As he stated to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional counselor about his drinking circumstances? Because nearly all of his peers drink the same amount that he does, essentially, drinking is no big issue. Stated more explicitly, if nearly everyone is drinking, why is this such a big deal?

In a word, Stephen's involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was starting to foil his ability to conduct himself like an accountable young man. As stated by Miss Pender, "Just because most of your buddies drink wine, wine coolers, hard liquor, or beer does not mean that it's right for you."

Luckily, Miss Pender was extremely well prepared for her appointment with Stephen. She showed him research studies and reports she had highlighted that listed various drinking statistics and facts that targeted most people in general. Then she showed Stephen a lot of figures and reports that applied chiefly to adolescents.

After Miss Pender verbalized the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse statistics and facts, it was apparent that what Miss Pender taught Stephen was a realization for him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only made the effort to explain the long term and the short term outcomes of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, but she also made the effort to confirm what she was saying with alcohol abuse and alcoholism facts and statistics that related to everybody in general, and mainly to underage drinkers.

As a matter of fact, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen instantly grasped why he should not be engaging in excessive and hazardous drinking with or without his peers anymore. Stephen thanked Miss Pender for her concern and for the material she presented and then accepted her reinstatement into school.
