Stephen was a seventeen year old high school junior who was manifesting several alcohol-related issues at school. For that reason, the principal explained to him that he had to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist, before he would be allowed to return to class.

Later that day when Stephen went home after school, he had to clarify his school suspension to his Mother and Father. His Mom and Dad were "relatively old fashioned" and explained to Stephen that getting discharged from school was not a workable educational plan of action. They explained to Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would probably be like a lead weight around his feet that could probably mar his educational achievement for the rest of his life. Furthermore, Stephen's Mother and Father were very dismayed that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his pals in the second.

It was clear that his parents were completely in agreement with Stephen's principal and explained to Stephen that he needs to see Miss Pender, the school therapist. After his dialogue with his Mom and Dad, Stephen at long last agreed to see Miss Pender the next day. So Stephen called the school and made an appointment to see Miss Pender the next day during his first period class.

When Stephen arrived at his scheduled appointment with Miss Pender, she without pause analyzed all of the alcohol-related issues Stephen had experienced and asked him if he comprehended why his recent alcohol-related activities caused quite a bit of concern by the school administrators.

Quite truthfully, Stephen questioned why the principal informed 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 circumstances? Since just about all of his pals drink about as much as he does, fundamentally, drinking shouldn't be such a big thing. Stated more explicitly, if nearly everybody is drinking, why is this such a major concern?

In a word, Stephen's involvement with teenage alcohol abuse was beginning to impede his ability to act like a responsible young man. As pronounced by Miss Pender, "Just because most of your classmates drink hard liquor, beer, wine coolers, or wine does not mean that it is the right thing to do for you."

Luckily, Miss Pender was very organized for her scheduled appointment with Stephen. She showed him research studies and reports she had underlined that outlined different drinking statistics and facts that applied to most people in general. Then she showed Stephen quite a bit of figures and reports that applied chiefly to underage drinkers.

After Miss Pender listed the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse facts and statistics, it was clear that what Miss Pender made known to Stephen was a real surprise to him. Why? Because for the first time in his young life, someone not only took the time to articulate the long term and the short term effects of alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse, but she also made the effort to corroborate what she was saying with alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency statistics and facts that related to everybody in general, and particularly to teens.

As a matter of fact, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen promptly realized why he should not be engaging in hazardous and abusive drinking with or without his buddies anymore. Stephen thanked Miss Pender for her concern and for the information she reviewed and then accepted her reinstatement into school.
