Our neighbor saw our daughter (14) smoking with her friends. We approached her about it and she denied it. Our neighbor has integrity and has watched our kids grow up. What do you do in this circumstance? We don't want our daughter smoking.

How do I respond to my boyfriend when he says things that hurt me? 
Answered by: Dr. Kevin Skinner
Our 16-year-old daughter refuses to keep curfew (midnight on weekends). We've tried grounding her. When she is able to go out again she does as she pleases. She's driving as well and it scares me to see her so defiant.

I have just gotten divorced and we have moved to a new town for my job. My 13 year old daughter is now in a new school--new friends. She is describing heart palpitations and shortness of breath--what is going on?

Dear Doctor, I am a 16 year old girl but I look 18. My parents treat me like I'm 12. They want to meet all my friends before I go out with them. I have never gotten in trouble and yet they don't trust me. They won't let me go to concerts. I have no freedom. Sometimes, I feel like running away. I'm not sure I can wait two more years. What can I do?
