Stephen was a seventeen year old high school junior who was exhibiting more than a few alcohol-related problems at school. Consequently, the principal informed him that he had to see Miss Pender, the school therapist, before he would be allowed to return to class.

Later that day when Stephen went home after school, he had to clarify his school expulsion to his Mom and Dad. His parents were "relatively old-style" and told Stephen that dropping out of school was not a satisfactory educational game plan. They informed Stephen that failing to graduate from high school would more likely than not be like a lead weight around his ankles that might impair his educational attainment for the remainder of his life. In addition, Stephen's Mom and Dad were extremely displeased that he was drinking in the first place and drinking with his classmates in the second.

It was apparent that his Mom and Dad were out and out in full concurrence with Stephen's principal and told Stephen that he had better make up his mind to see Miss Pender, the school psychologist. After his conversation with his Mother and Father, Stephen in the end 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 third period class.

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

Quite honestly, Stephen wondered why the principal informed him that he had to see a school therapist. As he stated to Miss Pender, why should he see a professional counselor about his drinking behavior? In view of the fact that nearly all of his classmates drink as much if not more than he does, essentially, drinking shouldn't be such a big deal. Stated another way, if nearly everyone is drinking, why is this such a major issue?

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

Fortunately, Miss Pender was very well prepared for her appointment with Stephen. She showed him research studies and reports she had underlined that listed different drinking facts and statistics that targeted most people in general. Then she showed Stephen a lot of information that applied principally to adolescents.

After Miss Pender presented the aforesaid teenage alcohol and teen alcohol abuse facts and statistics, it was apparent that what Miss Pender made known to Stephen was a real source of revelation for 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 results of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency, but she also made the effort to back up what she was saying with alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics and facts that related to people in general, and mainly to teenagers.

Indeed, it was almost as if a light went on and Stephen instantaneously grasped why he should not be engaging in excessive and hazardous drinking with or without his friends anymore. Stephen thanked Miss Pender for her concern and for the information she reviewed and then accepted her reinstatement into class.
