An Impatient High School Student Exhibits Numerous Alcohol-Related Difficulties, Gets Thrown Out Of School, And Has To See The School Therapist

Stephen was a eighteen year old high school senior who was manifesting numerous alcohol-related problems at school. Consequently, the principal told him that he had to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist, before he would be allowed to return to school.

Later that day when Stephen went home after school, he had to go over his school situation with his Mother and Father. His Mom and Dad were "fairly conventional" and told Stephen that getting kicked out of school was not a viable educational plan of action. They informed Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would more likely than not be like a lead weight around his legs that could conceivably impede his educational achievement for the remainder of his adult life. Not only this, but Stephen's Mom and Dad were quite saddened that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his peers in the second.

It was apparent that his Mother and Father were absolutely in accord with Stephen's principal and explained to Stephen that he had better come to the understanding that he needs to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist. After his discussion with his parents, Stephen at last agreed to see Miss Pender the next day. So Stephen called the school and scheduled an appointment to see Miss Pender the next day during his sixth period class.

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

Quite honestly, Stephen was unsure why the principal explained to him that he had to see a school counselor. As he stated to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional counselor about his drinking behavior? Due to the fact that virtually all of his peers drink as much if not more than he does, in effect, drinking shouldn't be such a big issue. Stated more precisely, if almost everybody is drinking, why is this such a big deal?

In short, Stephen's involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was beginning to thwart his ability to conduct himself like a responsible young man. As conveyed by Miss Pender, "Just because most of your peers drink wine, beer, wine coolers, or hard liquor does not mean that it's right for you."

Fortunately, Miss Pender was well prepared for her scheduled time with Stephen. She showed him research studies and reports she had underlined that summarized diverse drinking facts and statistics that targeted most people in general. Then she showed Stephen a lot of information that applied especially to teens.

After Miss Pender verbalized the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse facts and statistics, it was evident that what Miss Pender disclosed to Stephen was a real source of discovery for him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only made the effort to explain the short term and the long term consequences of alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse, but she also made the effort to back up what she was saying with alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse statistics and facts that related to people in general, and principally to underage drinkers.

Certainly, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen immediately comprehended why he should not be engaging in excessive and hazardous drinking with or without his friends any longer. Stephen thanked Miss Pender for her concern and for the information she presented and then accepted her reinstatement into class.
