A few day ago, when my daughter's friends were hanging out in the house, I saw them passing around a piece of paper and laughing. When I came home from work, I found that piece of paper lying on the table. This isn't unusual. Often I will find books, paper and other things lying around the house, waiting to be tidied up.

The drawing wasn't that bad. It was the content that shocked me. A police officer and a blonde man with big glasses are standing in an apartment. Between them is a couch with a bloody severed arm on it. The officer is pointing to the arm. His speech bubble says: "Mr. Dahmer, do care to explain why there is a severed arm lying on your furniture?" The blonde guy, who must be Jeffrey Dahmer, says: "Haven't you heard about the 2nd Amendment? Every American citizen has the right to keep and bear arms."

In big letters, was written the title, Jeffrey Dahmer and the Second Amendment. My daughter has mentioned Dahmer a few times before. Should I be worried about this?

My daughter is bugging and bugging to let me get her a tattoo. I personally am not against them but do think she should wait until she is older. She wants to get one for her 15th b-day in a week. She will not let up on this and every day is driving me crazy by asking and asking. Anyone with any experience in this matter or advice. TIA!

Hi, I have a 14 year old son that is on probation for marijuana, he doesn't think probation is a big deal. He has done community service, drug evaluations, flunked 2 drug tests. I need help with him and don't know where to turn. Seems to like to hang out with the bad kids.

My 11yo doesnt want to do homework.

He doesn't understand that its only gonna get worse as the years go by.  I am trying to wean him into it and learn time management.

 What more can I do?
