A Volatile High School Student Displays Quite A Few Alcohol-Related Difficulties, Gets Removed From School, And Has To See The School Counselor

Stephen was a seventeen year old high school junior who was exhibiting a number of alcohol-related problems at school. Consequently, the principal informed 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 clarify his school suspension to his Mother and Father. His parents were "fairly old-fashioned" and told Stephen that getting kicked out of school was not a tolerable educational game plan. They told Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would likely be like a lead weight around his feet that could probably hurt his educational attainment for the rest of his life. In addition, Stephen's Mom and Dad were extremely unhappy that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his friends in the second.

It was plain to see that his parents were completely in agreement with Stephen's principal and told Stephen that he had to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist. After his discussion 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 first period class.

When Stephen went to see Miss Pender, she immediately went over all of the alcohol-related problems Stephen had gotten into and asked him if he knew why his recent alcohol-related actions were such a cause for concern.

Quite candidly, Stephen was unsure why the principal informed him that he had to see a school therapist. As he expressed to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional counselor about his drinking behavior? In view of the fact that virtually all of his friends drink the same amount that he does, in essence, drinking shouldn't be such a big thing. Stated differently, if just about everybody is drinking, why is this such a major issue?

In short, Stephen's involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was starting to thwart his ability to function as an accountable young man. As verbalized by Miss Pender, "Just because most of your classmates drink beer, wine, wine coolers, or hard liquor does not mean that it is the best option for you."

Fortunately, Miss Pender was very well equipped for her discussion with Stephen. She showed him reports and research studies she had highlighted that outlined different drinking facts and statistics that applied to most people in general. Then she showed Stephen a lot of information that applied principally to teens.

After Miss Pender went over the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse statistics and facts, it was clear that what Miss Pender made known to Stephen was a wake up call for him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only took the time to go over the short term and the long term results of alcoholism and alcohol abuse, but she also took the time to substantiate what she was saying with alcoholism and alcohol abuse statistics and facts that related to everyone, and especially to teenagers.

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