An Agitated High School Student Exhibits A Number Of Alcohol-Related Problems, Gets Expelled From School, And Has To See The School Counselor

Stephen was a seventeen year old high school senior who was exhibiting quite a few alcohol-related issues at school. For that reason, the principal informed him that he had to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist, before he would be permitted to come back to school.

Later that day when Stephen went home after school, he had to go over his school situation with his Mom and Dad. His parents were "relatively traditional" and explained to Stephen that getting removed from school was not a satisfactory educational plan of action. They told Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would most probably be like a lead weight around his feet that could conceivably harm his educational attainment for the rest of his adult life. Furthermore, Stephen's Mother and Father were extremely dismayed that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his buddies in the second.

It was clear that his parents were absolutely in agreement with Stephen's principal and told Stephen that he had better make plans to see Miss Pender, the school therapist. After his dialogue with his Mother and Father, Stephen at long last agreed to see Miss Pender the next school day. So Stephen phoned the school and scheduled an appointment to see Miss Pender the next day during his fifth period class.

When Stephen went to see Miss Pender, she promptly looked at all of the alcohol-related issues Stephen had gotten into and asked him if he comprehended why his recent alcohol-related behavior gave the school administrators room for alarm.

Quite truthfully, Stephen was unsure why the principal explained to him that he had to see a school therapist. As he expressed to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional therapist about his drinking circumstances? In view of the fact that just about all of his buddies drink about as much as he does, in essence, drinking shouldn't be such a big issue. Stated another way, if just about everyone is drinking, why is this such a major concern?

In a word, Stephen's involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was starting to impede his ability to behave like an accountable young man. As verbalized by Miss Pender, "Just because most of your peers drink beer, wine coolers, wine, or hard liquor does not mean that it is the appropriate behavior for you."

Luckily, Miss Pender was very well prepared for her scheduled appointment with Stephen. She showed him reports and research studies she had highlighted that outlined diverse drinking facts and statistics that applied to most people in general. Then she showed Stephen quite a bit of figures and reports that applied principally to underage drinkers.

After Miss Pender articulated the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse statistics and facts, it was clear that what Miss Pender disclosed to Stephen was a real eye opener for him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only took the time to articulate the long term and the short term results of alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse, but she also took the time to support what she was saying with alcoholism and alcohol abuse statistics and facts that related to everyone, and chiefly to adolescents.

In actual fact, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen instantaneously realized why he should not be engaging in excessive and abusive drinking with or without his buddies any longer. Stephen thanked Miss Pender for her concern and for the materials she discussed and then accepted her reinstatement into class.
