Classic Dr. Phil

Dr. Phil opens his mailbag and lets kids ask anything that's on their minds. He tackles some tough questions " from dealing with a drug-addicted parent to taking over for your mother when you're just a teenager.



Unfair Curfew?
Rachel, 16, likes to go clubbing with her friends but says her 1:00 a.m. curfew is way too early. "My parents think that I'll become some crazy party girl," she complains.

 


Are her parents being too strict?

 



"She Chose Drugs Over Me"
Kayla, 15, hasn't lived with her drug-addicted mom in three years. Her mother is currently sober, but Kayla doesn't know if she should let her back in her life.


What does Dr. Phil think?

 



Fighting to the Depths of Hell
As a teen, Tyerra was taking care of her five siblings and sick mom. Now at 24, she says the stress of providing for all the kids is overwhelming.


Can she run the house and not burn out?
