Q: Where do you seek help if your son is smoking ganja and acting weird?
A: You need to visit a psychiatrist, right away, to get your son evaluated. The psychiatrist will recommend the therapy and types of treatment your son may need.
No new church for me
Q: My mother has decided that we will be going to a new church. At 16, I am quite comfortable with my friends at the old church. How can you get her to change her behaviour?
A: I cannot change your mother's behaviour. You should sit with your mother and ask her to explain why she has changed her beliefs. This should help you understand what she did.
