Case Studies<br />

ÒJohnÓ<br />

John is a 16 year old student who is trying to get his weight under control. His size has<br />

made the football coach notice him, but John needs to become more fit. He has heard<br />

about the negative effects of steroids, and knows that there are other street drugs<br />

available too if he chooses to try to escape from his feelings. Female classmates will talk<br />

with him but there isnÕt a girl that is interested in being his girlfriend. He canÕt talk to his<br />

father because his father left the family two years ago. He canÕt talk to his mother<br />

because she is busy working to support the two of them. John would like to fit in more<br />

with his classmates but is having difficulty socializing. He fears that he would get teased<br />

about his situation. John doesnÕt want his classmates to know that his father has left his<br />

mom, his fatherÕs history of drug use, and run-ins with the police.<br />

ÒJoanneÓ<br />

Joanne is a 17 year old high school student. She gets good grades and is well liked by her<br />

teachers. She hopes to one day be a veterinarian.<br />

Despite her success in school and hopes for the future, Joanne has few close friends. She<br />

spends her time working at the grocery store and helping with the care of her two<br />

younger siblings. Her mother holds down two jobs, which is needed to pay the household<br />

bills, but keeps her away from the family quite a bit. After an eight year battle with<br />

depression, JoanneÕs father committed suicide three years ago.<br />
