I am very worried, and I don’t know how to face or resolve this situation. I have a thirteen-year-old son, and a few days ago he stole a credit card from my husband’s niece to order parts for a skateboard on the Internet. He has lied to us about it from the start, swearing that [...]
My daughter is fourteen and very intelligent. She does well in school, but has told me that she thinks she is in love with a young man. It scares me to let her have a boyfriend when she is still so young. It could cut short her studies. Besides, for me dating is a step [...]

I am twelve years old. I am studying the Bible, because the subject of the end of the world scares me and I think I have found some answers as I read it. But my relatives and friends tell me that I shouldn’t believe everything that is written in the Bible. They say that over [...]
