Counseling Social Work Communication

Application: Short Story

Identify the aspect in Apllied Social Sciuences that could be use to handle the situation in the story.

A girl of teenage age, stands pretty in a crowd that screams “Just do it!”. Her big hazel eyes dart from
side to side watching as former classmates now turn into drunken monsters. Her white wavy dress which
used to compliment her, now hung to her body in places like a rag. Moist from sweat. Her stomach felt
like someone was stirring her insides around and around and around. The thoughts in her head were
plagued from the voices outside, stabbing her head like daggers. ‘Maybe I should just do it’ She thought
over and over. Maybe she should just give in like many people her age, follow her classmates footsteps.
Give into having a sip of the liquid that made your troubles go away but your head pound in the
morning. Have a puff of the drug which makes you feel over the moon but was most likely made in a
dirty abandoned public toilet. Let the boys use you, behind closed doors. “I’ll be like everyone else” She
whispered under her breath.

A girl steps forward, a popular ringleader who owns many followers. One who has her hair and make-up
done like she was going on a catwalk not to a party, who has less than an eighth of the amount of clothes
on, then what her mother began to thought was trashy and was not known by her name but what she did.
She smelt of smoke and alcohol. “Do it and you will be like everyone else” She hissed. The crowd around
them agreed. The ringleader pulled out a pill and offers it to the girl. “This under your tongue and you
will be popular forever.” She pulled a sickly sweet smile which made the girl even more uneasy.

‘What if Mum found out?! What would my friends say? Will something bad happen? I have a really bad
feeling about this’ Thought the girl. These questioned raced around her head. Her heart persisted her to
do it but her mind and stomach screamed “NO!!!”

The ringleader grew tiresome of waiting, “Do it and you will be one of us!” She said as she forced the
little pink pill towards the girl. Her crystal blue eyes pierced the girls body and mind and as socially
expected to do at this point, the girl moved her hand i\to take it...... But wait...... What’s this? The girls
hand stopped mid movement and retracts. She stands up tall, sets her big brown eyes gaze upon those
eyes of the ringleader and said “But I don’t want to be like you.” With those words she turned on heel
and walked away.
