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 fifteen year old high school sophomore who was exhibiting several alcohol-related issues at school. Consequently, the principal told him that he had to see Miss Pender, the school therapist, before he would be permitted to come back to school.

Later that day when Stephen went home after school, he had to explain his school suspension to his Mom and Dad. His Mother and Father were "relatively conservative" and told Stephen that getting removed from school was not a doable educational option. They informed Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would likely be like a lead weight around his feet that could quite possibly inhibit his educational attainment for the rest of his life. Furthermore, Stephen's Mother and Father were very saddened that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his peers in the second.

It was clear that his Mom and Dad were out and out in full accord with Stephen's principal and explained to Stephen that he needs to see Miss Pender, the school counselor. After his talk with his Mother and Father, Stephen in due course 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 third period class.

When Stephen went to see Miss Pender, she without pause analyzed all of the alcohol-related problems Stephen had experienced and asked him if he understood why his recent alcohol-related activities made the school administrators uneasy.

Quite frankly, Stephen was not sure why the principal explained to him that he had to see a school counselor. As he expressed to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional therapist about his drinking activities? Because virtually all of his buddies drink the same amount that he does, drinking really is no big issue. Stated more directly, if just about everyone is drinking, why is this such a big deal?

In short, Stephen's involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was starting to foil his ability to function as a responsible young man. As pronounced by Miss Pender, "Just because most of your classmates drink wine coolers, beer, wine, or hard liquor does not mean that it's right for you."

Luckily, Miss Pender was extremely well prepared for her appointment with Stephen. She showed him reports and research studies she had underlined that outlined different drinking statistics and facts that targeted most people in general. Then she showed Stephen quite a lot of information that applied especially to underage drinkers.

After Miss Pender listed the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse facts and statistics, it was evident that what Miss Pender taught Stephen was a real source of discovery for him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only took the time to explain the short term and the long term effects of alcoholism and alcohol abuse, but she also made the effort to validate what she was saying with alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency facts and statistics that related to people in general, and mainly to teenagers.

In actual fact, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen instantly comprehended why he should not be engaging in abusive and hazardous drinking with or without his peers anymore. Stephen thanked Miss Pender for her concern and for the material she went over and then accepted her reinstatement into class.
