An Unpredictable High School Student Displays Quite A Few Alcohol-Related Difficulties, Gets Thrown Out Of School, And Has To See The School Psychologist

Stephen was a fifteen year old high school sophomore who was displaying quite a few alcohol-related problems at school. Consequently, the principal told him that he had to see Miss Pender, the school therapist, before he would be allowed to come back to school.

Later that day when Stephen went home after school, he had to explain his school discharge to his parents. His Mother and Father were "fairly old-style" and told Stephen that dropping out of school was not a feasible educational game plan. They informed Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would likely be like a lead weight around his legs that could quite possibly inhibit his educational aspirations for the remainder of his life. In addition, Stephen's Mom and Dad were quite displeased that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his classmates in the second.

It was plain to see that his Mother and Father were in total agreement with Stephen's principal and informed Stephen that he had better make up his mind to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist. After his conversation with his parents, Stephen in the end agreed to see Miss Pender the next day. So Stephen phoned the school and scheduled an appointment to see Miss Pender the next afternoon.

When Stephen got to his scheduled appointment with Miss Pender, she instantly went over all of the alcohol-related problems Stephen had experienced and asked him if he knew why his recent alcohol-related actions caused quite a bit of anxiety by the school administrators.

Quite candidly, Stephen was not sure why the principal suggested that he see a school psychologist. As he stated to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional counselor about his drinking behavior? Due to the fact that nearly all of his classmates drink the same amount that he does, for all intents and purposes, drinking is no big thing. Stated more directly, if nearly everyone is drinking, why is this such a major issue?

In short, Stephen's involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was beginning to foil his ability to act like an accountable young man. As conveyed by Miss Pender, "Just because most of your friends drink wine coolers, wine, hard liquor, or beer does not mean that it's the correct behavior for you."

Fortunately, Miss Pender was well equipped for her appointment with Stephen. She showed him research studies and reports she had highlighted that summarized various drinking statistics and facts that targeted most people in general. Then she showed Stephen a lot of information that applied particularly to adolescents.

After Miss Pender presented the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse statistics and facts, it was plain to see that what Miss Pender taught Stephen was a real jolt to him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only made the effort to go over the short term and the long term consequences of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, but she also made the effort to confirm what she was saying with alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse facts and statistics that related to everyone in general, and chiefly to teenagers.

Indeed, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen without pause grasped why he should not be engaging in excessive and hazardous drinking with or without his peers any longer. Stephen thanked Miss Pender for her concern and for the information she discussed and then accepted her reinstatement into school.
