Stephen was a seventeen year old high school junior who was displaying quite a few alcohol-related problems at school. For that reason, the principal informed him that he had to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist, before he would be allowed to return to school.
Later that day when Stephen went home after school, he had to clarify his school expulsion to his Mom and Dad. His Mother and Father were "relatively traditional" and told Stephen that getting discharged from school was not a tolerable educational plan of action. They informed Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would probably be like a lead weight around his legs that might encumber his educational aspirations for the rest of his adult life. In addition, Stephen's Mother and Father were extremely saddened that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his peers in the second.
It was obvious that his Mother and Father were out and out in full concurrence with Stephen's principal and informed Stephen that he had better make plans to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist. After his dialogue with his Mother and Father, Stephen at last agreed to see Miss Pender the next day. So Stephen called the school and scheduled an appointment to see Miss Pender the next day during his third period class.
When Stephen got to his scheduled appointment with Miss Pender, she promptly went over all of the alcohol-related issues Stephen had gotten into and asked him if he comprehended why his recent alcohol-related behavior made the school administrators uneasy.
Quite frankly, Stephen was unsure why the principal informed him that he had to see a school psychologist. As he expressed to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional counselor about his drinking circumstances? In view of the fact that virtually all of his peers drink as much if not more than he does, in effect, drinking shouldn't be such a big deal. Stated more forcefully, if just about everyone is drinking, why is this such a major issue?
In a word, Stephen's involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was starting to thwart his ability to conduct himself like a responsible young man. As conveyed by Miss Pender, "Just because most of your pals drink wine coolers, beer, hard liquor, or wine does not mean that it is the correct behavior for you."
Luckily, Miss Pender was very well equipped for her scheduled time with Stephen. She showed him research studies and reports she had underlined that summarized different drinking statistics and facts that applied to most people in general. Then she showed Stephen a lot of figures and reports that applied principally to teens.
After Miss Pender conveyed the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse facts and statistics, it was evident that what Miss Pender made known to Stephen was a real bombshell to him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only took the time to go over the long term and the short term results of alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse, but she also made the effort to validate what she was saying with alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse statistics and facts that related to everyone in general, and chiefly to teenagers.
As a matter of fact, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen at once comprehended why he should not be engaging in hazardous and excessive drinking with or without his pals any longer. Stephen thanked Miss Pender for her concern and for the information she reviewed and then accepted her reinstatement into school.
