A Reckless High School Student Manifests Numerous Alcohol-Related Difficulties, Gets Expelled From School, And Has To See The School Psychologist

Stephen was a sixteen year old high school junior who was displaying a number of alcohol-related difficulties at school. For that reason, the principal told 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 clarify his school expulsion to his parents. His Mother and Father were "fairly old-fashioned" and informed Stephen that getting removed from school was not a viable educational game plan. They informed Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would likely be like a lead weight around his ankles that might hamper his educational aspirations for the rest of his life. What is more, Stephen's Mother and Father were quite 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 out-and-out in full agreement with Stephen's principal and informed Stephen that he had to see Miss Pender, the school counselor. After his dialogue with his parents, 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 day during lunch.

When Stephen got to his scheduled appointment with Miss Pender, she immediately surveyed all of the alcohol-related issues Stephen had experienced and asked him if he knew why his recent alcohol-related behavior made the school administrators uneasy.

Quite candidly, Stephen wondered why the principal told him he had to see a school psychologist. As he expressed to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional psychologist about his drinking circumstances? Due to the fact that nearly all of his peers drink the same amount that he does, essentially, drinking shouldn't be such a big deal. Stated more forcefully, if just about everybody is drinking, why is this such a major problem?

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

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

After Miss Pender conveyed the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse statistics and facts, it was apparent that what Miss Pender revealed to Stephen was a real shock to him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only took the time to give an explanation of the long term and the short term consequences of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, but she also made the effort to substantiate what she was saying with alcohol abuse and alcoholism facts and statistics that related to everybody in general, and especially to today's youth.

In actual fact, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen immediately grasped why he should not be engaging in hazardous and excessive 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 school.
